Nox - Free PC Game (Origin on The House)

880

Nox™ is fast faced action, set in a land filled with discovery and deceit.

An excellent action/RPG hybrid with very unique gameplay. Your name is Jack Mower, a 20th century dude who just happened to be sucked into the world of Nox via his TV set. The world is in danger and you have to save it! But before you embark on your epic journey you must choose your path: warrior, wizard, or conjurer.

Choose the path of a warrior, and you will be able to equip and use all manner of swords, battle-axes, war hammers, and chakrams - though you’ll leave the magical mumbo-jumbo up to the Conjurer and Wizard classes. An enchanted weapon is the closest a Warrior gets to magic but that’s OK, because magic is for sissies.

As a Wizard you will explore the mystical art of spell casting, ranging from enemy-confounding illusions to devastating displays of metaphysical force. You’ll also learn to set magical traps containing deadly spell combinations to thwart the unsuspecting foe. Although you’ll have to renounce the use of ungainly swords and armor in the name of your art, you will still be able to wield a staff as a last-ditch physical defense.

If you choose a Conjurer you will be able to magically charm and summon creatures to do your bidding. You can even create a magical creature called a bomber which can wreak sorcerous havoc on your enemies. You’ll also get plenty of experience wielding staves and bows to fend off the few enemies who manage to slip past your minions.

  • Is this an online game?

    • This game used to have an online feature, however after Westwood studios ceased to exist so did the servers to host the game. I haven't looked into it much about how to setup a private server but I am sure there are ways out there.

      • What I mean is if this game only works online or you can just play on your computer.

        • You don't need an online connection to play.

  • This game is so cool. Going to bring back some great nostalgia. Now I don't have to run my hacked up version.

  • Sounds a whole lot like Ultima 8. But hey, it's free! I'm getting it. Thanks, OP!

    i had heaps of fun with this game!

  • For those of u unfamiliar it's very similar to diablo 1/ 2. Amazing game, played this for houuuuuurs back in the day :)

    • Then you play it two more times as its got a different ending per class.

      Its like Diablo 1 on speed. Its RPG without all the super hardcore loot mathematics (+1.25% dodge chance if you're also have Level 2 of Skill X,Y,Z, +10 poison damage +10 tickle resist) stuff or any extraneous lore. Great for just "winging it" on a lazy couple hours. A refreshing change from the doom and gloom narrative on Diablo.

    Damn, it sounds like 20 years ago to me!!! I have bought an original copy of this game, and caused me around $20USD at that moment.

    RIP Westwood Studio.

  • This game was beyond great. I think I put more hours into this game than diablo fallout torment and the baldur's gate series combined. I only got to try multiplayer like once because of shitty Internet back then. Back then all games were offline per se and I had no problems with it. Then wow came and it all went down hill from there imo :( well for me at least. Long live Westwood Studios ling live off line gaming.

  • Thanks for this. I have quite a neat selection of games because of these origin on the house offers.

  • My highschool gaming experience was Dark Reign, Battlezone, Nox and Goldeneye64. Nox for free is fantastic, and hopefully someone will reverse engineer a server.

  • cheers

  • <3 the Westwood era of gaming,
