Description

You are the 20th century savior of Nox - summoned to the land in a cosmic accident. Being from Earth, you are the only living being on Nox that may touch a magic Orb in the possession of the wicked-evil queen of the undead - Hecubah. You must find this Orb and harness its power in order to construct the staff of oblivion and defeat Hecubah.

This game is similar to Diablo, having isometric perspective and intense action combat. The RPG element is even less noticeable here than in Diablo, since you gain experience and upgrades automatically after completing the linear main quests, regardless of the amount of enemies you have killed. You can play as a fighter, a mage, or a conjurer; there is a variety of weapons and spells at your service.
