Nox™

A masterpiece which all fans of action rpgs should play atleast once, or rather three times considering that the story are different for all three classes. (Though they do somewhat converge near the end.) The one thing missing from the GoG release is the Nox Quest addon, which is a must for all Nox players, but fortunately it can be downloaded for free from sites such as Fileplanet. (It was a free addon to begin with, so don't worry about breaking any copyright laws.)

This game was incredible, I still have the box but sadly not the CD Key! Even though Westwood graciously gave me a second one, but alas that was lost and Westwood is as dead as Elvis... This game is one of the most thoroughly enjoyable games I have ever played, it outright competed with anything Blizzard has made, Diablo I and Diablo II being the incredible games they were, NOX honestly is on par with either of them! The skills feel great, the story is a comedic adventure through a rich and fleshed out world, added to a variety of enemies (even if they do use the old "here's another colour of said bear") you will be having fun for a solid all around polished experience. The multiplayer was a bit rough, so it never achieved the notoriety of Diablo II, but even so, it was an interesting multiplayer though it won't be much use to people now as I am sure any services are shut down. But this game, there are much worse ways to spend six dollars.

I remember seeing this in Walmart when it first came out. Always meant to get it since I thought it might be similar to one of my old favorites, Shadowlands on Amiga. After many hours of play I can say that YEP that's about what this is. Wonderful isometric dungeon crawling , hacking, sell casting.... Simple to pick up, tough at time... endlessly fun. One of my favorite games of this type. I found myself playing it more than Skyrim at one point! lol NOTES: I stopped playing for a time, then went back to play some more after huge amounts of craving, but it started freezing my PC hard. I ended up redownloading and that seems to be working again. Save games are fine, just be sure to keep them (back them up somewhere) and you're good to go. Also, the inventory system came get messy when you save everything. A hovering description window over items would have been nice, but you can use the gadget to ID things and that's nearly as good. Hard to find anything to complain about this little gem. Perfect score from me! This is why gog.com is so great, I would have forgotten about this one, sure enough.

Firstly let me just say that if you think Nox is like Diablo then you must also think Amnesia is like Doom. The games are chalk and cheese. Nox is an adventure action game that offers you 3 playable classes (Warrior, Conjurer, Wizard) that each have their own unique story for you to play through. The primary objective of Nox is to finish the story and high five yourself. Its not a loot grind, and the "levels" you play through don't just hurl monsters at you for the sake of it in stupid quantities. Whilst the story isn't exactly complex, it is still good enough to get you hooked and make you want to see it through to the end. All up its just a really fun game to play through that was ahead of its time when released, but under appreciated. Enjoy

Many may call me crazy, but I will take Nox over Diablo 2 any day of the week. They have some similarities, but Nox was a blast. There were 3 different paths through the game depending upon the class you choose. The action is great, there's loot, hidden areas, interesting characters and locations, humor, and pretty good voice acting. It also let's you interact with the environment (using some 2D physics) in clever ways to solve puzzles and get around obstacles. For instance, you could use a push spell to push barrels of water into fire to put out the flames so you could walk through unharmed. The only downside to Nox is there was no sequel and the company that created it is long gone. It's a shame. Pick this one up if you like action RPGs.
