Nox™

When you level up in mac version visual effects are faster. Because i remember when i played this game long ago at win98 it was much slower than this. But it's great to play this classic in my macbook.

i Play this game since 2001 and i still play it i never get bored while playing it , it's story is epic and the sound track too, it's hardly to see someone know this game but i am sure that anyone would like it,It is not another game like "diablo" ofcorse there is similar things but u mainly based on story mode there is only few optional missions and that doesn't make it bad game because there is lots of secrets,hidden chest and even rare gears. this game brings me awesome memories since it was my first game i have ever played

Nox, simply put, is the perfect fantasy romp. From the lava encased Gauntlet of Dun Mir to the barren frozen wastes of the North, my experiences in the land of Nox have been engaging, memorable and challenging, forever etched in my mind as a truly wonderful episode from my gaming history. My earliest memories of PC gaming consist of three games: Cossacks, Worms and Nox, the latter being by far my favourite due to it's immense charm and beautifully clichéd fantasy world. The game's three classes (and corresponding stories) each provide a unique experience, whether that be berserker charging head-first into a troll as a warrior, electrocuting a horde of pebble-lobbing urchins as a wizard or hypnotising a wolf-sized scorpion as a conjurer, allowing for the player to delve into three separate quests within the magical world. The land in which these adventures take place is permeated by wonderful settings and a visual feast of effects, inhabited by a host of Aussie accented shopkeepers and NPCs who will, if plied with gold and favours, aid you in defeating the evil necromancer Queen: Hecubah. I could ramble on about this game forever, but right now I'm going to sum up the reasons for getting this feature into three points: 1. Fast-paced and well balanced gameplay 2. An amazing fantasy setting, easy to get lost in for hours on end. 3. Wonderfully well balanced for and enjoyable experience, no matter how skilled the gamer. Now go! Retrieve your cards and pay for this game. Don't you bother waiting for a sale, it's more than worth the paltry $6 GOG are asking for it; this is a classic game you will never regret purchasing.

You know that feeling? The one where you realize after a couple of hours that you are playing a truly great game? That's the feeling I had playing Nox. Its one of the games I remember from this era. It has story, mood, gameplay, graphics, etc. - the full package. It holds up remarkably well. Get it, play it, love it.

I played this back when Westwood was still around, and with some changing and fiddling of settings, the GoG version works just as well as it did back in the day. For this, I'd give it 4 out of 5 only because it's not "install and play" capable. While this is my first review, the reason for it is because I recently became aware of a project called "OpenNox". It's a community created update that changes very little to the overall game, but makes it "Install, copy over, and play" capable. It also restores server capabilities, and there's even a few people online in open servers. Blew me away, and was thrilled to see it. This game, along with Doom, started my gaming hobby. All of this aside, assuming that you're curious about the game as a whole before buying. It's an over all great aRPG. The story has a bit of the good old Westwood humor, but is still serious enough to still be a story. There over all are three stories at the start, but all three stories converge at a point for the same ending. Depending on what class you pick, you go through that classes story and that classes starting "city". And depending on which you pick, there are different allies and enemies. Warriors and Wizards hate each other, and Conjurers are mostly chilling on the sidelines. Online play can be done one of two ways. Either in PvP arena's that can be anything from death matches, capture the flag, king of the hill, or even last man standing. Or, you can do a "Quest", which is a series of generated PvE levels that to my knowledge, go up indefinitely. While there is respawning, it has its own "hard core" mechanic with there being a limited amount of lives. You can buy more lives at shops, but they're a pricy 50,000 gold. This was always my favorite way to play, as it was easy and fun making friends and going on "Adventures" with them. So if you have $10 sitting around and are looking for something to play. This is a great one that can still be played online with a quick update, today.
