This one was one of my favorites years ago, and I was hoping Nox would show up on GoG. I liked it better than Diablo simply because Nox was less of a grind-fest. I thought Nox's battles were a lot more fun and intense . . . Gauntlet intense in terms of numbers of enemies the game threw at you, but never so many you would be overwhelmed. I barely remember the story mode but am sure I never finished it which is why I want to get it again, it's time I beat this beats. But (if I recall correctly) the game also included a challenge mode separate from the main story that really did challenge the player and this is where I spent most of my playtime. I hope I'm remembering the right game because I'm buying it again tonight.
I was kind of doubtful of getting this one, since there were so many comments against it: the collision and inconsistent hit detection, monster arrows that shoot through walls, and save points, but I figured for $2.99 how bad could it be? Well, after playing the Outland level I just ran into a mind boggling bug that forced me to reload, and thus lose my progress up to that point. I encountered a goblin who told me to follow him, we reached a door and waited for it to open, AND then we got stuck together. Nothing would fix it except lose my progress by exiting. But yeah, there is a lack of fun playing this. I find myself rushing through the levels rather than exploring because up to this point exploring yielded nothing interesting. I thought the load out screen, similar to Thief 1 & 2 were kind of out of place in a game like this, I combed the beginning levels for maximum gold, which didn't seem to make a difference or now, the combat is frustratingly erratic in that monsters that I can insta-kill refused to die for several minutes regardless of the beating I laid on them, only to watch my own health quickly disappear. But my biggest gripe would have to be being attacked by ranged and melee fighters AT THE SAME TIME, which I can't recall ever encountering in a game before. But I'm giving it a 2 because it looked nice, but at this point it really doesn't compel me to finish it now that I've seen first hand its negative points. But, again, for $2.99 it's not that big of a loss.
