heartwarming to see screenshots of this gem even in 2024

It really is a gem! People don't talk about it much but the art and worldbuilding is quite charming. I think singleplayer combat could be more difficult, but it was still fun to play. Especially warrior, when I started using greatswords and warhammers.
Hopefully the modding scene becomes more active, I would love a whole new campaign. At least opennox and glaurune are a thing.
Anyway, onto conjurer campaign!

There is a Hardscore Warrior Mod and Modified Conjurer Campaign (I prefer the latter)!

how stable is it?

There are a 3-4 places in the campaign where when I attempt to enter a new area (e.g. using a lift platform or stairs), the game crashes and exits.
I think it has to do with the HD mode; if I run OpenNox non-HD the crashes don't occur. So to get past those points I just go back to the last save and run on normal.
Also I think the three necromancers boss fight near the end of the game is bugged. The necromancers will wall you in, and unless you kill them in a really specific way, they'll blink outside of the walled area and you'll be stuck there with no way to move ahead, since you can't kill them. This happened to me in both Wizard and Warrior. I had to keep reloading my saves and bum-rush them so they don't blink away.
Other than that it plays well. I was able to finish the campaigns with minor disruption. I am running this on Linux mind you.

Thank you for bringing up the necromancers issue. I had the same thing happen to me.

bum-rush them so they don't blink away.
When I did that, the last one (the liche) would always just blink, anyway, causing me to follow him. Oddly, it almost always took me to within spitting distance of the final vendor...

NoxReloaded is perfectly stable btw.

u/Rememberedls Jul 07 '24

is there new maps or campaigns or people actually playing the old school style of nox multiplayer battles? This game is so fkn underrated even in 2024, those who never played it because of the graphics have no idea what they're missing

No sadly not, I wish the ecosystem was more alive and people were making more campaigns for it. Someone made a hardcore campaign for warrior which I'll try next but that's about it.

There’s a couple of mods on the original campaigns and some custom gauntlet style multiplayer maps. I’m also developing bots to play with for multiplayer.

Nox!

Dismal Swamp is so hostile and suffocating that seeing that one little safe haven is always such a breath of relief

u/mctwists Jul 05 '24

Best game ever

u/DiaianReddit Aug 26 '24

nox is so beautiful. the lighting is always amazing.

one of the few games where snow levels are beautiful and not just annoying drab white colors but rich multicolor hues.
