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."

Oh....My....God....

OMG I made an account just so I could leave this review. First let me start off by saying I do not really play video games all that often. With that being said I remember being obsessed about this game when it first came out. When I found it again I sat my happy ass in front of the computer and would not move. Why they never came out with a sequel was beyond me. Think about it. Nox: The Return of a Hero. Has a nice ring to it.

Best RPG for me

I give this game five stars because it's the only RPG game that I played every single class (3) all the way through and had fun doing it. I believe it was also the first game (maybe the only) that actually used the Pentium MMX (Multi Media eXtensions) the way Intel designed the chips for (166 and 200 [?]). Akward intro video but the game has a good plot.

Mac Version 10.11 (El Capitan)

When you level up in mac version visual effects are faster. Because i remember when i played this game long ago at win98 it was much slower than this. But it's great to play this classic in my macbook.

Epic Story!!!

i Play this game since 2001 and i still play it i never get bored while playing it , it's story is epic and the sound track too, it's hardly to see someone know this game but i am sure that anyone would like it,It is not another game like "diablo" ofcorse there is similar things but u mainly based on story mode there is only few optional missions and that doesn't make it bad game because there is lots of secrets,hidden chest and even rare gears. this game brings me awesome memories since it was my first game i have ever played

Beautiful, Fun, Enchanting

Nox, simply put, is the perfect fantasy romp. From the lava encased Gauntlet of Dun Mir to the barren frozen wastes of the North, my experiences in the land of Nox have been engaging, memorable and challenging, forever etched in my mind as a truly wonderful episode from my gaming history. My earliest memories of PC gaming consist of three games: Cossacks, Worms and Nox, the latter being by far my favourite due to it's immense charm and beautifully clichéd fantasy world. The game's three classes (and corresponding stories) each provide a unique experience, whether that be berserker charging head-first into a troll as a warrior, electrocuting a horde of pebble-lobbing urchins as a wizard or hypnotising a wolf-sized scorpion as a conjurer, allowing for the player to delve into three separate quests within the magical world. The land in which these adventures take place is permeated by wonderful settings and a visual feast of effects, inhabited by a host of Aussie accented shopkeepers and NPCs who will, if plied with gold and favours, aid you in defeating the evil necromancer Queen: Hecubah. I could ramble on about this game forever, but right now I'm going to sum up the reasons for getting this feature into three points: 1. Fast-paced and well balanced gameplay 2. An amazing fantasy setting, easy to get lost in for hours on end. 3. Wonderfully well balanced for and enjoyable experience, no matter how skilled the gamer. Now go! Retrieve your cards and pay for this game. Don't you bother waiting for a sale, it's more than worth the paltry $6 GOG are asking for it; this is a classic game you will never regret purchasing.
