Overview:
Ultherst was once a peaceful, God-fearing land until the Three Scourges of God came to pass as foretold by Saint Ezekiel, one of the twelve followers of the First Prophet. First came the famine that devasted the populace. Next came the plague that added more unfortunate souls on Death’s abacus. Finally came the great rain of fire, and death fell down on sinner and innocent alike, blood flooding the streets in place of water. The people, in their desperation, turned away from the Holy Mother Church and delved deep into pagan decadence or succumbed to the temptation of the Devil. You have been charged with the office of Inquisitor. It is up to you to investigate crimes against the one true faith and root out heresy--using any and all means necessary. As in all best computer RPGs--the most important choices are yours to make.
Inquisitor is a unique blend of action-oriented combat with a deep and involving tale of betrayal, torture, madness, and infernal damnation. Put your wits to the test as you collect evidence against possible heretics and put them to trial once they have been charged. Use the might of the Inquisition to extract a confession from your subjects, but be warned, use your power wisely or you will face the consequences. If a gritty old-school open-ended isometric RPG is what you looking for, look no further. Inquisitor will provide you with hours of gameplay and a dark, involving story.

The game was well done. Its got a LOT of story and stats detail. TOO MUCH IMO. The game would be SO much more fun,if they had not put in SO much dialogue to read. I got sleepy just reading the stuff in the first town. Mechanics are ok for the time period. Story is like Divinity Original Sin...who murdered who type,leading to other quests. Causal fun game,if you can get past ALL that reading.
YES BUT WITH A FEW RESERVATIONS!
The story is great and I think that's what is saving the game but on the technical aspects it could have been better, WAY better.
It has bugs, glitches and some gameplay issues that should be fixed.
So do not expect the best playable game ever!
GLITCH
The only glitch I found is about the game crashing by itself for apparently no reason, but it could be related to how many times change the screen to save the game. When the game starts to show big red squares, it means the time has come! At that point is not even possible to quit the game normally and, on that segment, it can generate corrupted savefiles.
BUGS
The bugs I found are: your character getting stuck on the wall, a member of your party getting stuck somewhere or chasing enemies that are not even on the screen. One big bug is when facing a major boss, it applies a debuff on you that will kill you instantly. The problem is there is no indication of what's going on.
GAMEPLAY
There are many gameplay issues and maybe that's the big problem of this game.
1) You have no control over your party and they do not make your inventory bigger. They just follow you with no possibility of changing the equipment or interaction if not for dismission. Plus, they tend to deplet your healing potions stocks if you don't be careful. There is a command to make them stop doing that but, come on!
2) Your inventory has limited space and the collectible items are not stackable. This means that if you have 3 identical objects they will occupy 3 different slots. Also there is no automatic inventory reorganization and if the items are positioned in the wrong way, the game will act like you have no space, when it just requires to reorganize it.
3) In critical moments you can't pause the game, so you have to move your cursor fast which implies that if you want to use an aggressive spell, you eventually end up hurting your allies or an npc. Also, when targetting for normal attack, if you accidentally target an allied or npc, the dialogue will start disrupting the moment, this appens when you go for an adaptive cursor in a real time combat.
4) Some mission items do not disappear automatically.
5) After some time, your game will be full of dead bodies. That's right, the game doesn't make them disappear.
6) On each location, there are some spots in wich a single specific enemy respawn. The problem is they can respawn always, you just need to get the point off the screen, without changing area. Also some spawing points are a pain in the ass (like in the entrance of a dungeon).
7) There are 3 difficulty levels but they are not relevant to the gaming experience (only monsters HP change).
8) There are no potions for debuff removing, for example there's an antidote for the poisoned status but it does not remove the status. Anytime you get debuffed you have to wait for the effect to run out of time or to go to a healer and it will make you and your party brand new.
9) Even if you can choose the magic schools and the spells, there are too many and while some of them are just identical others just do not work as they should.
Even though, I really enjoyed the game, I loved the story and I pursued to reach the end of it.
DIE INFIDELS!! DIE!!!!!
SPOILERS
- Way too much unneeded text. Every NPC has pages of text he tells you which is just pointless and doesn't give you any more information. Just text for text.
- Fights are terrible. Not hard, but just very boring. Most enemies have low damage compared to huge amount of HP.
- Melee is useless. Paladin with melee skill on Master level still can't do anything to anyone. You just stay there and stab enemies until you fall asleep from boringness. And you needs tons of potions. There are four pages in the inventory, at least two of which should be reserved for bottles. And still you need to go back to the town and buy another 100 potions every one or two levels of dungeons.
- Only way to kill enemies anyhow fast are sigils. So there is no real possibility to roleplay. It doesn't matter if you play priest, paladin or noble: you can kill enemies only with spells.
- My first playthrough was as a priest, so I struggled immense at the start, but in the second half of the game you have access to imba spells which kill everybody on the whole screen. That was back in 2012. Now I have tried it as a paladin and start was much easier due to the tankiness and some clues how to play, but later in the game it got only harder.
- There is no fast movement possibility in dungeons. You can freely walk from graveyard to barrens or anywhere else, but if you want to get to the town from the dungeon, you need to do it manually. With slow walking speed and awful path detection it is another challenge to your patience.
- Again, too much useless text. Wanted to play as a paladin to the end, but realized at the start of Act 2 that I don't want to waste my time to click through walls of same answers to same questions from every NPC.
- Ridiculous unlogical scaling of enemy stats. At the start of Act 1 when you are level 1 you need certain amount of effort to kill giant bats at the starting location. At the end of Act 1 when you are already level 20 and equipped with uniques you need the same amount of time if not more to kill same giant bats in the depths of Iron Mines. I am talking about melee combat now. Which is just useless.
- Some locations are full of very strong enemies where I just couldn't find any way how to kill them. But there is a Magical box! You break it and tells the genie you need help against your foes. And the genie rips everything apart. And there is endless supply of these boxes by vendors. Sure they are expensive. But my question is: why is every town suffering and perishing if they can just break ten magical boxes and kill every orc, lizardman and werewolf?! That thing bothers me most than any other problem of this game. Perhaps they did it so because they didn't want to make proper balancing of fight system and enemies. I don't know.
Well, many points, but briefly summarized:
walls of useless text and absolutely unbalanced fight system kills the game.
Despite the fact that I probably won't play it till the end once again, I still like it. It looks very nice, has it's own charm and has many interesting ideas. It is worth to play, at least to try.
Amazing dark fantasy CRPG. Investigate heretics, burn them at the stake and fight armies of hellspawn in underground dungeons.
Inquisitor is a great crpg, with great art, an interesting story (that feels influenced by The Name of The Rose), and just a lot of cool little touches that make it feel very old school. Unf I'm dropping it because of the combat, which isn't so much hard as boring, due to the balance between health and damage being a bit outta whack. I still recommend trying it, especially for the price, but idk if I'll finish it
Yes, but no.
I'm upvoting the game because it's quite fun, especially the dialogue parts.
But.
There are a lot of fighting to do and it's the worst part of the game, by far.
It became such a chore, it made me stop enjoying the game and quit.
Truly a shame, because it felt like a very nice game otherwise!
