A nice game where you can play as: 1. Wizard - low life, must constantly backtrack to get mana from crystals, hostile to warriors. Remember to buy all spell books you can get. Other items are much less important. You can read spell books with the same spell up to 3 times to get higher level of the spell. 2. Conjurer - similar to wizard, but can also conjure creatures and use bow/crossbow, neutral towards wizards and warriors. I recommend this class for the first play. 3. Warrior - you can finish the game quite fast with this class because you do not have to refill mana. He is hostile towards wizards. There are some differences between campaigns for each class, but about 70% is the same, so the game gets quite repetitive after the first campaign is finished. A small disadvantage is that when you gain a level, the game automatically increases stats of your character and there is no choice for the player. There are three technical issues on Windows 10: 1. Before you run it, set "Windows 98/Windows Me" compatibility mode for both Game.exe and NOX.EXE. 2. If for any reason, the game minimizes, when you go back to it, you will only see a black screen. When it happens, press quick save key (F2) and kill the game in task manager. 3. Nox does not support high resolutions. I recommend setting the highest resolution available and screen stretching in your graphic card options (with screen center everything is very small, and it is hard to see anything) These issues might be fixed with OpenNox, but I have not tried it.
Works without any issue on Windows 10 (version 1909) with AMD card. It seems that GOG fixed the issue with the possession spell that other comments mention. It took me about 28h to finish the campaign and 100% of it was pure fun. Now I am playing in "My Pet Dungeon" mode. Things that I like: 1. Sense of humor 2. Voice of the Mentor 3. Each campaign mission is different and interesting. However, some of them are really challenging, and I had to play them twice to complete. 4. Cutscenes after each mission 5. Graphics are fine for game from 1999 There are a few technical notes: 1. Game exists when you lock screen (Windows+L). You should save the game before you leave the computer for some time, and you have the Windows lock configured. 2. Game exists when GOG Galaxy shows update popup. You should go to Galaxy setting -> Notifications -> "Installing/updating status" and change "Desktop/overlay" to "Desktop only" 3. I have FHD screen. The game does not support resolutions for wide screens. I had to play on 1024x768 with black bars on left and right. There are some tutorials on the Internet describing how to change the resolution for wide screens, but they were not working for me.
