Nexus: The Kingdom of the Winds -- Part 2

Nexus still runs on a pretty colorful 16-bit graphics engine, which makes the game still look pretty good by two-dimensional standards. The gameplay itself is very reminiscent of Diablo, where you have to press spacebar to swing your weapon at the enemies standing right in front of your character. Killing monsters becomes an exercise in eliminating entire hordes using your special abilities and a large weapon. The game sticks to the standard four classes consisting of the warrior, the rogue, the mage, and the poet (healer), but it also allows for eventual sub-classes via quests and meeting up with members of the class you wish to be.
