Interesting premise, great atmosphere...

This game comes with very unique premise - you become a member of the Holy Inquisition in a fictional realm, resembling Europe during the Middle Ages . Your main goal is to hunt down and eradicate heretics. So you talk to people (there's a lot of text to go throug), look for evidence (you need to really, REALLY look around, if you want to successfully accuse someone), torture suspects (something for masochists) and finally, burn those convicted heretics. Dialogues in the Czech language are great and they help to depict the immersive world and gloomy atmosphere. However, the English translation lacks "charm" of original and a little polish wouldn't hurt. On the other hand, combat isn't very good and sometimes can be little frustrating. The main problem is that you lose stamina very quickly. You don't lose stamina only when you hit an enemy, but even when the enemy hits you! If you're out of stamina, you can't attack or run and you'll die. So you will need bazillion potions. The biggest pains in the ass are dungeons, which consist of several levels. If you run out of potions in the middle of dungeon and you don't have any genies, you'll have to go back to the town for shopping. Then you'll have to go through all previous levels of the dungeon before you can continue your descent. Especially the dungeon in Act I (Iron Mines) is really big and get to the bottom can be pretty annoying. Game is in general very hard (even if you play on easy). For instance, there is no tutorial. You are thrown into the world and practically left on your own. Another issue is looks. Graphics simply aren't very appealing. If you're looking for eye-catching sceneries, try another game. Despite its flaws and occasional bugs, the game offers very unique experience of becoming the Inquisitor. As I mentioned, this game is hard and time consuming and you will need lot of patience to get to the end. But if you endure, the game rewards you with great atmosphere and interesting story set in the medieval world on edge of Apocalypse.

Good game but...

This game was definitely well made and pretty hardcore compared to many RPGs I've played. Even on easy mode the combat can be pretty rough. It started out pretty nice as a new experience but as the game progressed I found the gameplay and combat to get rather repetitive and companions really sucked even though they did actually make fights easier. I personally didn't like how some of the negative status effects basically forced you to sit and wait for it to run its course since they make moving around rather difficult by affecting your mouse cursor itself. The story and script were pretty good even though some of the lines still sounded a little strange, though being translated to English I'd say it was done pretty thoroughly. Worth the play if you're in for a challenging game with a rather dark setting, not one for the casual gamer I don't think.

Great game if you embrace its mechanics

Inquisitor is a great RPG with strong mecanics. Like in Baldur's Gates the conversation trees are complex, the writing rich and each object you pick has a story behing it, especially rare items (weapons, armor, rings etc.) The game has a nice slow pace. The combat mecanics are very simple. This contributes to a "realistic feel" and immersion. I played in the hardest difficulty, and I did not found the game very hard, but I played the knight class, so maybe they are imbalances I am not aware off. The game is made to be played slowly, and to roleplay the character and the setting.

Worst combat mechanics EVER

I'll be honest, this game has some really nice graphics, sounds, ambiance and music. The story was shaping up to be rather interesting as well. Unfortunately all of that is killed by the absolutely godawful combat mechanics, most specifically the stamina system which is probably the stupidest design decision I've ever seen in a game. Everything you do in combat (except walking) drains stamina, from hitting things to casting spells, to BEING HIT. And once it's gone you're like a rock in the mud barely able to hit anything and unable to cast spells. Did I mention it drains extremely fast? In order to make up for it you'd have pump points into stamina boosting stats and chug potions out the wazoo to survive (The reviews stating you need to dedicate a huge portion of your inventory for potions or die are correct). Who thought this was a good idea? Second to this is the nearly equally stupid stat/skill system. For example in the beginning you have 0% chance to cast one of the first level noob spells found in a scroll on the floor. 5 levels later after putting points into the skill that raises casting chance I still only had a 20-something % chance to cast it. Other things like identifying and equipping certain items had the same idiotic ratios (6+ points into swords and I still can't use the crappy noob level broken sword I found on the ground because my 'skill is too low'? Give me a break) I'm sorry but this is bad game design. Admittedly I didn't get too far into the game, but from what I've read it doesn't get any easier in fact it gets even WORSE! With enemies and bosses that stunluck or perma-drain stat points and all sorts of other cheap moves. No thanks. I could've saved $15 and downloaded one of the endless imbalanced monster mods for Skyrim or something game where the maker was either a complete nub or sadist and made everything super 133t by giving them 231719 damage and health. At least it would be free punishment.

Dark dungeon-crawling fun in darkness

I should probably mention the game is dark, both visually and thematically. Getting the "Light" spell helped a bit, but still - sometimes it's hard to see until an item was highlighted by cursor. The other problem I had with this game is the randomness of NPC shops - if you close and reopen them, every single item is re-rolled (for, like, a hundred items), so instead of getting a cool find every couple of quests it becomes a decision of how long are you going to stand there, closing the conversation screen and reopening it again, in hope of rolling something better than your current outfit. So that was the bad. And the good? A lot: the theme is nicely conveyed, you get long write-ups in every item and spell description, if you are inclined to read game lore. There is character progress (albeit kind of slow/grindy) and you are going to learn many new abilities - after gaining a couple of levels, you get an edge on those bats ;). There are many quests, where sometimes you get the choice of going the easy route or digging deeper and stepping on some toes. They tend to be long, too, and have some substance - definitely not the filler "pass a message here, kill 10 bears there" kind. The inventory management is OK (got two pages side-by-side if you are a sorting freak and spend a lot of time arranging your gemstones by color etc. ;)). To sum up, if you like dark, slashy and grindy, you will get a kick from it. If you look for a game where it's easy to see where the walls and the doors are, pick something brighter and more colorful :)
