Nox™

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.

Does not work on windows 10 shame

I remember playing this game as a kid and LOVING it, so when I found it on here I was SO excited to replay NOX. Sadly, on Windows 10, all I get is the Westwood Studios intro and sometimes part of the game intro video. Then everything freezes, and if I tab out and back in, I see the start menu, with all keys and mouse frozen, except being able to tab back out and shut down the window. IF you can get the game to work, I'm sure you'll love it if you love this type of game, but be careful, as apparently it doesn't work for everyone, and sadly I'm one of those who can't play it. If it worked, I'd give it 5 stars, but when I can't even play, I just give it 2 for the memories...

I played a lot of video games and invested much time in different games. But this one was really the best of the best for a young boy to experience multiplayer games back in that time. The graphics, the fast speed/pace of the game, the different ways to play each class. Incredible. What i feel about this game can't be described in simple words. The time with superjack, gyzmo and darkVirus and a lot of others on Europe server will be never forgotten. The memories have been burned in my head - probably until the day i die. What a pity this game got mixed up as a "bad diablo 2 clone" and many magazines wrote it down. This was one of the fastest and most unforgiving multiplayer games. This game was easy to learn and had like almost no skill ceiling. You can say this was the Quake of action adventures. Almost all the reviews focused on the campaign sadly, which is a bit short, but still worth playing. Contact me, if anything is still up on EU regarding this game.

Usually, it's considered an overlooked gem from the late 90s, early 00s ARPG aka Diablo-like. Indeed, this game has many own ideas on its own, for instance, simple physics can be considered as a prototype for an idea the Larian games would later develop into its own unique and recognisable mechanic. Sam Raimish corny humour has no alternative in any other RPGs, 3 characters and 3 slightly different playthroughs, fantastic art direction, voice acting and just overall distinct character. Though, after finishing it 2nd time, I'd say that it is closer to modern linear adventure action games than RPG, cause technically, you can't change stats or develop your own skill tree. It's a shame that EA being EA, killed this franchise.
