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

I played this back in high school and it's been great to get a chance to play it again. At the time I had pirated it, so this is my first time seeing the cutscenes or hearing the dialogue. The game is still good -- but unfortunately has some issues that are common to old games, such as bad checkpointing and, in one case, companion A.I. so terrible it actually forces a reload. Definitely get it if you played it in the past, otherwise maybe think twice.

A Fantastic Expression of Fantasy

This games 3 class system explores the different roles of possibilities within a hero that culminates in 3 very different hero perspectives. Each of the three archetypes must approach identical challenges with a variety of skills to reach the end of this epic game. What do you choose ?

What the game doesn't tell you...

...about Bombers is that they are sentient creatures. They aren't mechanical, but magic animated constructs, sort of like golems. The factory sound you hear when conjuring one is meant to put your mind at ease, to make the conjurer think they're just summoning a fire and forget weapon like a fireball. In fact if you listen to them, bombers will communicate with each other and the conjurer from time to time. They get excited when they see a target, sort of like an animal would upon the sight of food, and they signal it as they gleefully rush towards their mutual destruction. Like a pigeon strapped with a bomb, they are conditioned to think a reward is waiting for them, instead of a fiery death, as a full mana bar worth of assault grade spells rush through their flimsy articulations, bursting, corroding and charring their tiny frames all at once.

Start up problems

I only way a got is game running right, is to run it with compatibility mode in windows 95 settings. The mouse animations in the starting menu would load in otherwise. It lease for me run at a windows 10 OS.
