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."

Nostalgia Overload

I first got this game when I was 11 years old in 2001. I immediately fell in love with it's fast pace action and individual stories and twists for each character class. The music is brilliant, the graphics are still great, sound design is excellent. It's simplistic in a positive way and elegant, If only Westwood were still around to create a sequel.

great but repeating lags

I missed this game since migrating to mac. It is so well ported that i forget i'm playing this in mac. BUT... 5 seconds long lag comes every 5 minutes. and it really annoys me. if it were not for this bug, i might have rate this 5 stars.

Fondly remembered

I had kind of forgotten about this game for many years. Then I saw it on the list here. It has been 10 years since I've played it, but now after looking at the pics here I have to go dig it out of my closet and have a 3th play through. It is one of the best top down RPGs I have ever played. I enjoyed it more than games like Baldurs gate and Dungeon Siege.

Amazing RPG from the 90s

I remember buying this game when it first came out and absolutely loving it. I was expecting it to be Westwood's attempt at making a Diablo 2 clone but what I got was so much more. First of all, it has a lot more in common with games like Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, or even Divine Divinity. The story has a very Never Ending Story sort of feel to it. There's less of a hack-and-slash feel to the game. It's a bit more methodical and story driven. Each class has a different story and different locations. Unlike many games where different story for each class means replaying the same sections but with different dialog or cutscenes, each class feels like you're playing a completely different game and rarely will you explore the same areas as the other classes. If you like RPGs and don't just want a mindless hack-and-slash game, you will want to pick this up
