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.

I played this game when i was 10 and still playing it with friends. Good graphics, nice music and interesting storyline turned this game into a masterpiece.

I wish we can bring back the popularity of this game.
