Simply Amazing

This game is just amazing and one of the most unique games I've ever played. There is a ton of dialog in the game and at first you might think it's a bit boring, but if you really dive into the lore and the world around you you will start to see how amazing the game really is. The dialog pulls you in and soon you are uncovering clues to mysteries in a grim atmosphere of demons and sacrificial rituals. It really is almost too good to be true because you are constantly uncovering these clues and the game just keeps getting deeper and deeper and the story keeps sucking you in until the outside world is a thing of the past. The game is challenging but if you find the right path to take it's not that bad. Be prepared to save a lot and die a lot as well but it's still very manageable. The best part of this game is the story and investigation that is going on. You will meet people with hidden secrets, ulterior motives, liars, demons incarnate and so much more. Definitely worth the asking price for this amazing gem. Play it and be immersed in this crazy world of unbelievable atmosphere. This game is a true work of art. 5/5

Not a good idea...

I'm sorry I have to say this game kinda sucks, too slow, no dubbing whatsoever, poor graphics and a really bad combat system...not worth it

Combat is far too rough.

I wanted to love this game. The concept is incredible. The story is quite dark, very appropriate all things considered. The detective work, while basic, is a pretty nice change from the usual RPGs I play. I approve of the NPC interaction. However, I will not be finishing this game. As much as I love the NPC interaction is about as much as I despise the combat. 80% of this game is played in combat. I'm mostly into turn-based RPGs, but I'm no stranger to real-time, and I'm not above reading walkthroughs for assistance, so I don't believe the problem lies with my own personal ineptitude. The main problem with Inquisitor is that the "easy" difficulty is simply not easy. I'm spamming potions on Easy at a rate that's just blasphemous. The difficulty levels should be as follows: Awful, Brutal and Ridiculous. Started to play the game on the Brutal difficulty, and about 10 hours in I finally realized I'd best try this game on Awful instead. My character (the Paladin, sturdy as can be) survived longer on Awful, but my followers had about half the HP that they had on Brutal, thus died at the same regularity as they did on the Brutal difficulty. I made it to the second act. About halfway through this act, I found myself attacking foes more often with seals than melee weapons for the sake of survival. After hacking open a chest, I was bum-rushed by several ghost-type foes, and the result was predictably certain death. I had seen enough. If the easy difficulty was more like the "Story Mode" difficulty some games have, this is a five-star game for me, all day, every day. If combat were turn-based, and foes were fewer in number, allies greater in number, this game may even have been amazing. Alas, the potion-spamming and the frequent character deaths have me regretting my purchase and time spent on this game. I rate 3/5 for the story and incredible concept.

Nice world, abyssmal combat

Nothing of this game feels like it was released in 2012, and mostly for the bad. Which is pretty sad, since the world is well fleshed out, the characters have a lot to say (that's an understatement) and the story might get interesting. But most people won't be masochistic enough to suffer through the clunky interface interactions, awful combat and nonexisting enemy balance. And you will have to deal with a lot of enemies (some even respawn). Your weapons can break after 3 hits, spiders in one of the first zones can poison you for 5 minutes, you will spend most of the time filling your inventory with potions (one at a time, health, stamina and mana), the exp enemies give when killed have absolutely no relation to their difficulty, when you run out of stamina it lowers your overall speed....it's tedious as hell.

A tribute to hardcore old-school

Inquisitor is a tribute to times past. First, it is a unique spin on the generic roughly-medieval era setting, and instead of the Renaissance, places the game in the Dark Ages, with all its torturing, devil-worshipping gory goodness. Second, it is a call-back to the hardcore old-school games which did not hold your hand, or handed you any significant assistance to make you feel like you were the greatest hero of all. No, you have to crawl your way to success - seriously ass-kicking enemies, undetailed maps, zero map-markers, mostly unhelpful quest journal. All in all, if you want a game that hates and wants you to die, and uses everything in its power to make it happen, this is your game.
