Many may call me crazy, but I will take Nox over Diablo 2 any day of the week. They have some similarities, but Nox was a blast. There were 3 different paths through the game depending upon the class you choose. The action is great, there's loot, hidden areas, interesting characters and locations, humor, and pretty good voice acting. It also let's you interact with the environment (using some 2D physics) in clever ways to solve puzzles and get around obstacles. For instance, you could use a push spell to push barrels of water into fire to put out the flames so you could walk through unharmed. The only downside to Nox is there was no sequel and the company that created it is long gone. It's a shame. Pick this one up if you like action RPGs.
