Released under the shadow of Diablo 2, this game went largely unnoticed. That's a sad thing, because this is one of the best games I've ever played. Now before you scoff and say, "surely, sir, your nostalgia goggles cloud your judgment. Good day!" Wait. I played this game for probably 6 or 7 years, I'm not quite sure, until the official servers went offline. Now before you scoff and say, "surely, sir, since the servers have gone down this game has severely dropped in value. I must again bid you good day." Wait. There are others like me, who know the greatness that is Nox. Check out www.noxforum.net The official servers are down, yes, but there are always dedicated fans to great games struggling to keep the community alive. If you're not to be troubled dealing with all of that, though, know that the single player is well worth the price. Instead of, say, Diablo, where you choose whatever class and you go through the one storyline, each class here has a separate story, levels, etc. It's all class-specific where you go and who you meet. Different ending for every class. Still not convinced? Well, look, the game plays absurdly fluidly. You move with your right mouse button and attack with your left, but it's not like you click a spot and wait for your character to get there. You click close to your character and he immediately begins walking towards the cursor. Drag it further away and he runs. Spacebar to jump. This is a very fast-paced and twitch-based game (largely what made multiplayer so fun). You have to aim your spells, arrows, your warrior charge. There are no dice rolls. There is only practice and skill. Also, every class has multiple play styles. Whether you use Death Ray and Teleport as a Wizard or choose to utilize other spells like Missles of Magic or Lightning, you have your options. Just skip your Mickey D's trip today, and get this game. You'll be too entertained to eat anyways.
