Editorial Review:
Though cast in the action/RPG game-play style of Diablo, Nox breaks its mold and offers up more than a few pleasant surprises. The third-person isometric perspective offers a refreshing dose of humor, served up by a slick interface and starring very distinct character classes. Much more than a clone, Nox takes the best the genre had and--for the most part--makes it better.
Nox's story of a harmless auto mechanic who gets accidentally sucked into a fantasy world immediately sets this game apart from its dark and dour brethren. Nox is funny, and it's refreshing to play an RPG that tries to put a smile on your face.
Game play, dungeons, puzzles, and even the story are slightly altered, depending on Jack's class, giving three separate single-player experiences, all leading to the same final showdown with Hecubah. The quests are typical RPG fare--find this, kill that, rescue these guys--spiced up with puzzles relating to the class's abilities or environment.
The Nox team's energies went toward creating a game that's fast, fun, and easy to play. It worked. No knock-off, it won't be long before we start seeing games influenced by the innovative designs of Nox. --Mike Fehlauer
Pros: - Very distinct, fun character classes
- Innovative action/RPG multiplayer game modes
- Slick interface
- Refreshing humor
Cons: - No female characters
- Unrealistic inventory system
- Uninspired magic items
Nox is a dark and creepy Action/RPG, set in a bucolic world corrupted by Hecubah, a wicked queen of the undead. In solo play, choose from three different adventures. Follow the path of a warrior, and you will forge your skills and master powerful weapons in the Fortress of Horrendous. Join the ranks of the conjurers in the village of Ix and learn to summon the creatures of the land and control the forces of nature. Or lead the life of a wizard, and use combat magic, stealth, and traps to foil the undead legions.
Nox is set in a mystical land filled with discovery and deceit. Nox's lightning-fast action is fueled by a combat system that's easy to use yet gives players tremendous gameplay depth and infinite possibilities. With more than 100 unique spells and weapons, players must use their wits to create devious combinations with tricky tactics.

Rating:  - If you like Diablo, read on.
I picked up my first copy of Nox up on a whim and I was hooked. Sort of in the vein of Diablo, Nox is a great RPG. It will definitely keep you hooked for a very long time. If you download the expansion pack (search online for it as the server for the game no longer exists), you can do single challenges.
Rating: - Best Game Ever!
Nox is just about the best game ever. I can play it for hours, and so can my brothers. I'm surprised there aren't more Nox games. The controls are easy, the graphics are good, and the gameplay is amazing. If you like to play computer games, you'll like Nox.
Rating: - A classic I still play after many years
Oh boy, i got this game what...5-6 years ago?
And guess what. This is the only game that after having so long I still pull out and play again.
I wont bother to tell you what the game is like, you can read the other 20+ reviews for that. I will tell you this is my #1 PC game and it is a pitty that this was not one of those "Big Hit" games, becuase it should have been.
And to dispell a rumor, EA did cut off the service to NOX online play, but has now restored ... Read More
Rating:  - Online Gameplay Dissolved!!
Originally I would have givven this game a 10 out of 5. This is one of the most original and creative games I have ever played! I could play for weeks on end withought getting board with this game. Unfortunately I recently found out that this game can no longer be played online...This crushed my soul into oblivion! This was quite possibly the BEST MULTIPLAYER RPG EVER. Now it's just a memory from a distant past. The blame for this great injustice falls on EA Games, who decided to dissolve one of ... Read More
Rating:  - Pretty Darn Good
This Game is very fun, and provides a lot of gameplay. There are three types of classes you can play as: the Warrior, the Conjuror, and the Wizard, each having unique stats to suit their class. for example, the wizard is EXTREMELY weak, but is excellent in the use of magic. The warrior does no magic, only skills, but is very strong. The conjuror can summon beasts to aid you during battle, and can do simple magic such as cure, stun, and meteor.
The overall difficulty is not that hard, as you ... Read More
