Nox™

Whether it's 2000 or 2025, most people pick up Nox while looking for a solid Diablo clone. The bad news is that it has very little in comon with Diablo. The good news is that you're gonna love it anyway. Here's why: - Each character class have their own campaign with their own ending - The design is TIGHT - Beautiful art - Responsive controls - Neat physics - Music by Frank Klepacki In fact, if you're following the game industry, go to mobygames right now and check the credits! Almost every single one of these people is regarded as an industry legend nowadays! Is it better than Diablo? No, it's different. How so? - The loot/equipment system is very basic. It's like they wanted to make a "numbers ARPG", but couldn't put the "numbers" in before the release deadline. - All map layouts and item drops are pre-determined. So it has nothing to do with Diablo and its roguelike ancestors. - No decision-making involved in level-ups. So calling it an "RPG" is a bit of a stretch. In other words, it's more of a Zelda game than a Diablo one. But even if you're looking for a "Diablo-clone", don't let that dissuade you. Nox is well-worthy of your leisure time!

This is the game that got my girlfriend into gaming like 15 years ago. Very simple but addictive and fun to play thru.

I played this game a lot of years ago, and now, i bought it in GOG. I can't play. Only launches to the first yellow NOX image. I cannot do anything else more. No mouse, no pad... Nothing works. I feel sad.

Nox is one of those games that few have heard of. An obscure game due to the legend of Diablo, but for those who have played it, it became a favorite fast. Nox is a great hack and slash game that brings in various elements from other RPG games of the era and uses them perfectly. The three storylines are fun and each class is unique. I was overcome with glee when I realized this was brought to GOG. I had lost my serial number for my discs and forever wished someone would bring this great cult classic back.

If you purchased this, there are still a few Multiplayer server up and running. You will learn to love the fast past world of NOX. I've been playing to this day since 2000 and will continue to play this game. I'm so happy GOG listed to my forum post and finally added NOX. WESTWOOD > *
