So I too want to jump on this Nox bandwagon but those graphics look a bit...dated for my tastes atleast. How does gameplay compare to Diablo?

ArtisticMinstrel: I have, only wish I could do it 100 more times. And yes I know it's free out there, but I'd love it on GOG.
Very good.
Sadly it's not. Abandonware isn't really legal and as long as it isn't freeware, it's neither free nor available.
I've got the German original version and the English translation both, but would gladly buy it in a GoG package.

I wonder where the problem lies, this game is truly one of the most fitting on Good Old Games.

Here's a list of games that were formerly commercial and are freeware now, GoG could use some more of those for their "get them free with your account"-collection here too:

Klumpen0815: Good morning everyone!

I woke up, turned on my tablet, clicked on "The Last Federation" and scored a critical hit.
I didn't yet own this game and am quite happy, this day had a good start. :)

This was my second hit after Nox.
Congratulations Klumpen. You nailed a very good game there.

It's pretty good, ignore the graphics....and all should be good.It was release around the same time as diablo, diablo got more mainstream attention.....

It had a 1024x768 resolution natively while Diablo 2 was still stuck at 640x480, so it aged better than most.
Gameplay is more fluid, a little faster and you can't look around corners with the shadow-effect, which gives it a bit more tension and immersion. It's less linear, because every class has a different line.

Strange - I was sure Abandonia or one of those specifically said it was legal. My mistake. All the more reason to get a classic like this on GOG.

We have the discs in the family, but it's not strictly mine, plus it is a hassle to get it running again on updated machines. I'd snap it up in a heartbeat... (or at least very first sale at the latest)

Splatsch: Good morning everyone ! Hello again !
How are you all doing ?

CarrionCrow: Good morning. =)

Still sale watching despite having nothing to buy. Getting ready to put a game on.

How are you doing today?
Morning ! :)
Fine, and you ? Slept less than expected (I'm a little ill and coughing awoke me, and prevented me to sleep again. Not big cough but enough to do it XD), but that happens !

Addicted, even without anything to buy ? I agree, this sales are really fun :)

Thanks for the info, I think I will hold off on it for the time being until I beat some more games.

If you can pass through the graphics, I advice you the game. It's a "light" diablo : it's more an action-rpg than a hack-n-slash, but with similar gameplay bases. Similar, but not exactly the same.

bew1977: Still no Pharaoh. I know I'm going to fall asleep and miss it.

zenwan: I tried to buy Pharaoh last time, then discovered I had it already. I'm waiting for Children of the Nile, it went so fast last time that I missed it.
Really enjoyed Children. One I figured out how to really play it was super fun

But if you're unsure, of course, you better have to hold off :)

If you need a nap, now is the time. These 2 will stay here for 3 hours.

Yea, my tolerance for old school graphics only goes so far, but I will take a closer look at gameplay videos.

Changing compatibility settings didn't help?
