Nox

Nox is an action RPG by Westwood Studios.

The game is somewhat unique: using an isometric view and mixing real-time and RPG elements, the player is given the ability to dodge, jump and fight while moving. Nox throws an ordinary kid into a fantasy world full of magic, nightmarish creatures, and friends to guide the way.

Story
In old times in the land of Nox, the Necromancers sought to wreak havoc with the forces of the Undead. Jandor, a mighty warrior took up a legendary halberd and was victorious in battle against them. The Wizards contained the souls of the Necromancers within an orb and the most powerful one sent it off into another dimension. A Necromancer's baby survived, and Jandor spared its life, sending it off to be raised by ogres so that its history would be unknown.

Unfortunately, that baby grew up into the powerful female Necromancer Hecubah who now seeks to crush the living. Hecubah summons the orb from the alternate dimension, where Jack Mower, an ordinary lower class trailer-park resident, gets sucked into the vortex along with his television decoration, the orb.

Jack falls onto a zeppelin, where a strange Captain charges Jack as being an adventurer destined to save Nox.
