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."

Just plain Fun!

I played this game through and really just had a great time doing so. Its older, but you could hardly tell. The graphics are really good, the frame rate was excellent, the environments are gorgeous and well envisioned, the sound design is absolutely spot on to fully immerse you. You will not regret purchasing this game. I have only one con...Its replay-ability is limited. I played though as the Mage and when I restarted as a different class, it wasn't as much fun because I knew the maps and what was coming. The first time through is definitely the best. Its been a couple years since I played last so maybe I'll try a different class again. So strap on your headphones and turn out the lights and play Nox.

Rare RPG gem

Hard to believe that the company behind the game is mostly popular for creating Sci-Fi RTS games which sadly cast large shadow on this game. It was truly risky try on their behalf. But they defiantly put effort in this game. The best part is when Diablo II was super popular this game didn't try to copy it. The game did it's best to look and feel original. Some elements feel like developers were slacking a bit or didn't know any better. There is too much grinding needed if you don't want it to feel like Dark Souls. Some story elements wasn't developed enough to make sense and feel more organic. Thou, I can put the blame on team's lack of experience when it comes to RPGs. They still managed to pull it off nicely, in my opinion.

Excellent

One of the true classics in the GOG arsenal. It's not Diablo by any stretch. Arguably it is better for it. A game with a real sense of fun but plenty of challenge. You'll be quicksaving plenty at the tricky bits, but it's not at all unbeatable and an absolute blast. The graphipcs still hold up pretty decent today, and the voice acting is miles ahead of the terrible stuff on offer in Mass Effect: Andromeda too. Shame EA dissolved Westwood. They sure knew how to make a hell of a game.

Good, but you should support multi

This is a good game, but It can't do multiplay. If it could play multi, I would give a good estimation this game. I want to play another players. I suggest that you support multiplay to a lot of player.

Good, really good. Even today (2017)

Fast, replayable, fun. I just love this game. If you know what you are doing you can complete the game easily, if not you will need to learn because this game is hard as hell. I just defeated Hecubah and the for many, many, many times she kicked my ass.... Then I started to use magic shield + the nox weapon.... And it was really difficult and dangerous... Then I started to use traps, and it was easy but really slow.... In the end I discovered that you can actually stun her with nox weapon attack + confusion... And it was finally possible to do enought damage. It was a slow but good learning process not just in the final battle but in the whole game. To my surprise it is also dubbed in my language Con mia sopresa è anche doppiato in italiano. It's not my type of game, but I still nox love nox XD.
