Much better than diablo 2
This game was westwood's answer to Diablo 3's release date being pushed back several times. The idea was to wait for diablo 3 to come out, wait until everyone was over it and release NOX. Unfortunately westwood was running out of funds and had EA nipping at their heels, so they were forced to release the game early and with little advertisement. This was also the age of everquest, so the only way you would have known about NOX was to walk into a store and pick the game because the box looked cool, or you played a demo put out by PCaccelerator ... Which is what I did, the demo blew my mind even though it was only a multiplayer showcase of only one class with only a few abilities. The actual game was fantastic, I get bored of games easy, but I've played through each character at least 3 times, there was also a sort of rough expansion for the game which I believe was released before it was finished, but it came with some of the shelf copies. Sadly, once EA took over westwood, the game died after a short, obscure life, and EA refuses to support the game in any way. I've been hoping against hope that someday, someone would remake NOX, I would kickstart the crap out of it.

An Excellent Surprise!
I didn't expect much from Nox even though it received great reviews on GOG, but I was really hooked when I started to play. I went to work with only a few hours of sleep for a week because of Nox. It is a fun action RPG that is interesting and rewarding. Exploring and finding secrets is exciting. The best part is the battle mechanics which is fast. You can get a variety of weapons and equipment by buying or finding them. The weapon and equipment depreciation and repair system adds some strategy because you don't get a lot of gold in this game. The story is good, but not great. The music is also good, but not memorable. After you finish one path for a class, you can choose two other classes for some replay value. But, there are some negative points. First, the game is very linear. You cannot go where ever you want, whenever you want. You'll be locked in a area after you enter it and once a chapter ends, you cannot go back to that area again. I also felt the run and walk controls by the mouse was a little hard to control sometimes. Also there were some bugs or glitches. FMV had some black pixelation and the game flickered especially at the main menu. These bugs where not game-breaking, but just annoying. Overall I loved playing Nox. It was exciting, charming and easy to play. Not 100% perfect, but worth a play through.

Nox - old but good in most ways
Nox - a RPG made by good old Westwood Studios. With ~6 hours played as a warrior I already had enough fun with this game for its price of around 6€. 4/5 stars. Why do you ask? Well here it goes: Storywise the game does not take it as serious as other titles like Diablo. But is that bad? Nope. It fits Nox and its world. So, you're this guy Jack. Who lives in a trailer and watches his Tv-Shows and all of a sudden his tv breaks down and finds himself in the world of Nox. Strange isn't it? But why is it only a "good" game instead of a "fantastic" or "best" one? Well, here is why and let me start with the graphics. They are pretty good for their age and fit a RPG with focus on action and interaction - all enemies look different and the world ranges from deep woods, high mountains into the infernal underworld. This is enhanced with great sounddesign and ambience. But this is not even the big sellingpoint. You got there an immersive world, great sound - but what is missing? Right, the dialogue and storyteller. All (and with that I really mean all) dialogues are nearly perfect and well written and voiced. All in all its a gorgues game in that regard. But where is good there has to be bad things. The controls of the game are pretty clunky. Stand near something? Nope. You got to move atleast one inch more to take an item or use a lever (even of you standing right in it). Another let down are the abilities. For example: you play as a warrior and over the course of the game you get those neat little abilites. Five of them. One may say: dont play warrior. But, to be honest, even a warrior can/could use more than five spells from which two are kinda useless. So what does that mean? Nox is a good RPG with some minor issues. Like magic and spells? Play as wizard. Like swords and brute force? Play as a warrior. Like creatures and bows? Conjourer it is. I can only recommend this fine piece of a game. If you can stand those little annoying things, then youre in for a good time.

Still Holds Up As A Decent Game
Main menu is a bit choppy if the graphics are cranked, once the game is running, no problems or issues of any kind. I own the CD Media version from back in the day, It's beside me right now and can say I haven't run into anything different, It's fully patched and runs WAY better now on a " today's rig " than with my Voodoo 3 2000 did on ME . Does the playability and storyline still hold up though? Going back in time to when It came out and right now, It's in the exact same spot. " not as good as Diablo II " It's a tough shadow to be in. You can see the pictures, there is no farming of any kind and a straight through storyline that you can play through. You can sell loot but stats are not changeable when leveling up. Spells are bought through stores and level up the same way Diablo 1 does. I like the game. It can be beaten over the weekend. My copy was on sale, Now I have a backup digital for a cheap price, It worked for me and I can play it on a Windows 10 computer with out messing around, Well, you know, other than opening the directory that it was installed to, right clicking on GAME.EXE and changing the compatibility options to run under Windows Millennium Edition and running as an Administrator. 99% of the gamers here have had to do that to almost everything they install that was made before Windows Vista.
