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."

Still a masterpiece

This never got the success it truly deserved. In terms of gameplay, it's still more complex and way above 90% or more of its genre. The PvP is probably still unmatched. It's sad if you think about how little the genre has advanced (outside of graphics) since 2000.

Good but repetitive

The core of the game is excellent but except nice graphics and combat there is really nothing much too offer. The story is weak if you can call it even a story and it is also a linear game so do not expect any side quests. It is only a matter of time before it will turn from fun to chore. For me it was few chapters too long and it was quite tedious at the end. If you experience troubleshooting try to use dgVoodoo2. It surely sorted my issues with screen and mouse flicking.

From what I hear, a good game...

But the only problem is; it wont work, the game seems to run behind a frozen screen, you can hear it but you cant play it. I read on a few forums and this seems to be quite a widespread issue, reverting to a more compatible version of windows doesn't seem to work. If GoG can issue a patch that fixes this then I will give it a more fair review, for now I will review it as a product rather than a performance.

Wonderful game

I played this only briefly when it first came out, due to diablo / diablo2 holding my interest. But having bought it for 'nostalgic reasons' , I was blown away by this gem. Wonderful gameplay, 3 classes with vastly different tactics needed and the in-game humour got to me. Would definitely recommend.
