No. Anyone read reviews for it? Considering getting it but I want opinions.

Am I wrong in thinking it looks like Diablo but with inquisitors? I love the idea of an inquisitor based RPG, but looking at it I'm not sure shoehorning 40k into another genre is the best idea.

Yeah that's exactly what it is CJ, and I generally agree - GW has been fast and loose with their license the last 5 years or so, with few winners (total war WHAT UP). They now have a Left 4 Dead analogue, a Gauntlet Legends analogue, a Diablo III analogue, an XCOM analogue, and more - I get that they want to try to get people outside the hobby hooked on the lore and digging deeper to discover the world of 40k, but it seems like a lot.

I kinda wish the format for a video game involving inquisitors was a stealth game mixed with horror and mystery. It would be hard to pull off, but if any universe could, 40k would be it.

Bring back Call of Cthulhu, Inquisitor style. Totes agree, the gritty, dread-filled darkness of a horror-mystery-survival would be great. Dead Space would be a different, but also fitting (ish) take... less pop-out scares, but the same tense setting/gameplay. |

Here's my humble review of Inquisitor: Martyr on PC (casual player only lvl 15 of 50 on my single character in a couple weeks). Pros: -It is literally Diablo III in the Imperium. You run thru dungeons all over the universe smashing various NPS's to progress the storyline and attain items/experience/skills forever and ever. -The story is great! I feel like I'm living thru a Dark Library novel. With all the treachery of chaos, mystery of inquisitors/grey knights, I already want to re-start a new character because there's so many twists and turns in the plot it's like a movie you want to re-watch after knowing what was really going on. -All the graphics. I've got a solid gaming computer and the visuals are beautiful. I instantly recognize every unit in the game via the miniature & lore we all know so well. So many (I'll admit fun) games have cartoony graphics nowadays, but this one is solid. Cons: -Buggy. Chalking this up to how new it is, but my PC has crashed so bad I had to do a hard reboot. Even now Windows won't allow it to update certain stuff because the files are not trusted! That being said, maybe the release was rocky and it's played smoothly the last week. -Confusing skill-trees and such. My 'class' (there's 9 to choose from) was designed to run around with a 2-handed melee weapon, or sword and shield, so I've put every skill point in melee stuff. Now my guy uses a badass grenade launcher I found... -Price. It's what, $55 or something? Typical new game price, but with so much quality freemium out there, I'd never spend that much (it was a gift). In conclusion, it's literally Diablo III in spaaaaacccceeee. The plot is badass, and I'm thoroughly enjoying the campaign I'm fighting thru. I love the Sci-Fi universe, so the story is probably my favorite part. Spoiler (not really): The Martyr is an Imperial spacecraft with MYSTERRRYYSSS GOING ON!! If anyone gets the game let me know, there's a 'clan or guild' feature I haven't tried out. Also the few times I played multiplayer it bugged or was much less XP than missions alone. Screenshots:         |
