Nox™

The core of the game is excellent but except nice graphics and combat there is really nothing much too offer. The story is weak if you can call it even a story and it is also a linear game so do not expect any side quests. It is only a matter of time before it will turn from fun to chore. For me it was few chapters too long and it was quite tedious at the end. If you experience troubleshooting try to use dgVoodoo2. It surely sorted my issues with screen and mouse flicking.

But the only problem is; it wont work, the game seems to run behind a frozen screen, you can hear it but you cant play it. I read on a few forums and this seems to be quite a widespread issue, reverting to a more compatible version of windows doesn't seem to work. If GoG can issue a patch that fixes this then I will give it a more fair review, for now I will review it as a product rather than a performance.

I played this only briefly when it first came out, due to diablo / diablo2 holding my interest. But having bought it for 'nostalgic reasons' , I was blown away by this gem. Wonderful gameplay, 3 classes with vastly different tactics needed and the in-game humour got to me. Would definitely recommend.

Does not work on windows 10 shame

I remember playing this game as a kid and LOVING it, so when I found it on here I was SO excited to replay NOX. Sadly, on Windows 10, all I get is the Westwood Studios intro and sometimes part of the game intro video. Then everything freezes, and if I tab out and back in, I see the start menu, with all keys and mouse frozen, except being able to tab back out and shut down the window. IF you can get the game to work, I'm sure you'll love it if you love this type of game, but be careful, as apparently it doesn't work for everyone, and sadly I'm one of those who can't play it. If it worked, I'd give it 5 stars, but when I can't even play, I just give it 2 for the memories...
