Description
An excellent action/RPG hybrid with very unique gameplay. Your name is Jack Mower, a 20th century dude who just happened to be sucked into the world of Nox via his TV set. The world is in danger and you have to save it! But before you embark on your epic journey you must choose your path: warrior, wizard, or conjurer.

Choose the path of a warrior, and you will be able to equip and use all manner of swords, battle-axes, war hammers, and chakrams - though you’ll leave the magical mumbo-jumbo up to the Conjurer and Wizard classes. An enchanted weapon is the closest a Warrior gets to magic but that’s OK, because magic is for sissies.

As a Wizard you will explore the mystical art of spell casting, ranging from enemy-confounding illusions to devastating displays of metaphysical force. You’ll also learn to set magical traps containing deadly spell combinations to thwart the unsuspecting foe. Although you’ll have to renounce the use of ungainly swords and armor in the name of your art, you will still be able to wield a staff as a last-ditch physical defense.

If you choose a Conjurer you will be able to magically charm and summon creatures to do your bidding. You can even create a magical creature called a bomber which can wreak sorcerous havoc on your enemies. You’ll also get plenty of experience wielding staves and bows to fend off the few enemies who manage to slip past your minions.

Throwback Thursday Recommendation





We share the earnest reasons that make a classic game so dear to us!

Recommended by Kilg0re_Tr0ut from GOG Stream Team: Nox is a truly underrated game from Westwood Studios. Often written off as a "Diablo-clone", this is really a unique quest oriented action RPG. You play Jack, a young man who (along with his TV) is accidentally teleported to Nox by the evil Hecubah, and it is your job to right things in Nox and eventually defeat her. The story and gameplay adapts to accommodate one of three different character classes you have to choose from, the Warrior, who can't use magic, but has access to all armor and weapon types (except bows and staves), the Conjurer, who can use bows and crossbows, can use some spells, but specialize in summoning monsters that can fight alongside them, and the Wizard class, who specialize in the vast majority of spells in the game, and can even teleport and become invisible. This adds tremendous replayability as playing the game with each character makes for a completely different experience, basically giving you three games in one. Easy to get into, Nox is highly recommended for fans of the genre."

Awesome!

This one was one of my favorites years ago, and I was hoping Nox would show up on GoG. I liked it better than Diablo simply because Nox was less of a grind-fest. I thought Nox's battles were a lot more fun and intense . . . Gauntlet intense in terms of numbers of enemies the game threw at you, but never so many you would be overwhelmed. I barely remember the story mode but am sure I never finished it which is why I want to get it again, it's time I beat this beats. But (if I recall correctly) the game also included a challenge mode separate from the main story that really did challenge the player and this is where I spent most of my playtime. I hope I'm remembering the right game because I'm buying it again tonight.

totally funtastic

while the first diablo didn't do it for me, I was instantly hooked on Nox.The graphics were so great that my old P1 200Mhz couldn't fullt handle it. Every time I got another computer there was a moment that I would reinstall Nox and finish it with one of the three choices. Although the three paths aren't all that different, it's still worthwhile to finish each of them. To sum up: a great, funny diablo-clone that you should like if you are a fan of the genre!

Great I found it after 20 Years

Amazingly enough I finally found the Game I played as a kid. Unfortunately enough it wont run. I did as ruslankin2010 suggested, but instead of blinking and not reacting the game doesn´t show on screen at all anymore. Well Money wasted, but hey at least there are let´s plays so there is that.

No DIablo

This is no Diablo, and that 's fine. Understand this game is not about murdering thousands of foes, but rather only a few hundred. There are some cool effects and ideas here, but to be honest it got boring for me about 5 hours in. It starts repeating the monster attacks constantly and never evolves beyond being a point an spam attack game. Not bad but certainly not something I'd play again.
