Good and Bad... Simply OK!

Like some reviewers I had high hopes for this game. Text heavy game that's fine. Diablo combat? Fine. So...what's the problem? Lets start out with the heavy text. The heavy text itself I do not mind. Following quests it involves I do mind. I got some hints from the town people about a couple of quests. I also solved about 3 or four quests. Which is fine. However I am still stuck on most of them on ACT I. I cannot find out how to solve if the "captain of the guard" is guilty or not. I have spoken to multiple town folk. I have even visited the execution site. Still no avail. The game makes it hard as hell to get info from anyone. I have to get evidence and prove it to the head inquisitor to torture anyone. (Which I have not done yet) And another point. Gathering evidence is hard. No one is willing to speak up. Even under threat. You could pay them, but even then they might not talk. How the heck am I supposed to get info if they wont talk? Second the combat. While I do admire combat to a point. I actually think the stamina system is interesting. The real problem is the currency. While you level up you will sometimes have problems acquiring money. Especially from the monsters you defeat. There are no special characters. Well unless you include bosses. The average joe monsters you do defeat hardly have any dough on them. This makes it incredibly hard to buy potions to keep up the overall health and welfare of your character. Over all a decent game that should have been thought out more.

Did not look good to me..

I got the game through special offer on GOG. Main interest was RPG style and potential good graphics based on the screenshots. After installation, the graphics did not look so great to me :( Just for that, this game ended up on the backup burner in my priority list (well when you end with 5 games for like $15... You need to set priority, right???). Will make a less shallow review later (after a real thorough playing of Inquisitor).

English Translation

I have played through the beginning of the game and it appears that whoever translated this did not have a firm grasp on conversational English or word usage. This is more a heads-up than a review but so far I have enjoyed everything other than the translation, which I would rate as poor.

Horrendous

Played it (for maybe 4 hours) on Steam a few years ago. Enemies are nigh invulnerable, and combat seems to be all about making sure you have ALL the potions, lest you die. I remember I simply deleted it when I no longer had money for potions. I find it weird that virtually all enemies in the first few hours can kill you if you don't have potions. This, of course, prevented me from enjoying any other part of the game.

Awful-Just frustrating and Awful

This could have been a great game. However due to some really bad game mechanics and how the game is designed, Inquisitor is let down by some really bad design choices that result in a game which is one-quarter charming and engrossing, but three-quarters frustrating, repetitive and monotonous in the extreme. This game has some of the worst game balance I have ever seen in an RPG, overly linear quest design, a lack of player influence on the story, awful combat, and massive amounts of filler content, Inquisitor's leaves nothing to be desired. While it does have its strong points, it will take an incredibly strong-willed player to endure the dozens upon dozens of hours of torturous gameplay it takes to reach the good parts. If you want to play a game that is fun and you can enjoy the story, likely you will have a tough time defeating the first few enemies, with maybe 3 health and stamina potions I might add. I played the game to circumvent that with a high stamina and the game was still just a disaster. There's a reason people are called insane when it takes 12 years to finish a game and it comes out like this.
