Nox™

There are some good ideas in Nox, let's start with that. It has some actual physics puzzles and clever spell ideas, which puts it ahead of its time, and it handles the resource management of the wizard in an alright fashion. But, while not an especially long game, it managed to wildly overstay its welcome, especially with the last few levels which were absolute tedium where every inch of progress required dragging yourself across interminably long levels, saving and reloading again and again where the game mistakes arbitrary length and instant death for "difficulty." Paired with encumbrance mechanics and a lack of merchants, durability mechanics and expensive repair bills, I ended the game in tattered rags, and by the time I was done, I was happy to toss the game in the bin, never to play again. It feels like a master class in why ARPGs had to change. I think most of the positive reviews here are nostalgia. It's a terrible experience, with no real sense of progress, no real sense of exploration, and no real sense of achievement when you finish the game. Give it a miss.

Usual disclaimer: Old crusty gamer chiming in. Also, I have played a lot of ARPGs. The review from Bladeknight757 has pretty much nailed my feelings for this game. I lasted about two hours before giving up on this game. I never played this game when it first released and bought this game for less than $3. Jumping into this game in 2022 was a terrible experience. The controls were terrible and the bland generic look/feel of the game made me question my purchase. I found nothing fun or interesting in this game and would not recommend this game to anyone.

In 2000s the game was good, but not today. Fighting, not enjoyable like in diablo 2. Story not good and short. Visual and audio not good. The game playable, but there is nothing interesting at all.

They released Nox. I love Nox. This and Ultima Online were the best multiplayer experiences I have had, period.

NOX is the end of 3rd person shooting. It's good game. really.
