Nox

"Nox: Best game Ever!"

Like I said before, the game pretty much plays like Diablo. You move the mouse and point where you want your character to go, attack with a mouse button, use hot keys for anything else you need. This game is very action oriented so get ready to click. One thing I liked about this game over Diablo, in terms of the dungeons, they aren't randomly generated. I loathe randomly generated dungeons because there is nothing as fun as a well put together dungeon with intelligently placed traps and clever puzzles. Nox shines here. Good dungeons = good game. Level design is law.

Like I said before, the game is very linear. It's separated into chapters and you can't really stray much from the task at hand. This is really annoying because the world pretty much fits together perfectly. But no, the path you took to get to Ix before is closed off when you aren't supposed to be there. As the wizard, the door to the office you are in is locked when you are supposed to take a passage in the back. This annoyed me a lot. The other thing is it's short. I finished it with the warrior in 3 good sittings. Now granted, I'm playing through with the Wizard now and will most likey play as the Conjurer next, but still, I want more stuff!!!

There is a multiplayer option, I skipped it because multiplayer RPGs are never fun for me. Besides, if it's just a multiplayer version of what is listed as ''Solo Quest'' it's not very fun anyway, just taking a level 10 character and racing to kill monster generators.

Overall this game was a lot of fun. It's not one of those games that you must buy right now, but if you buy it (and nowadays it's around 20 bucks) you'll get your money's worth. If nothing else, it's a good rainy day game. If you are waiting for something really awesome to come out, or you've beaten everything you've got and don't have the 50 bucks to the latest uber-game, this will tide you over.
