Fight heresy the old-school way.

Inquisitor is a game that will take you on a thrilling journey through a dark medieval low-fantasy world and satisfy your hunger for old-school RPG, and it's available for digital pre-order on GOG.com for only $11.99--that’s 20% off the full price, only during preorders!

Dark times have fallen onto the once-peaceful land of Ultherst. As the prophet Ezekiel foretold: Famine, Plague, and Death came to harvest the souls of the sinners and the innocent alike. In this time of hardship more and more people started to succumb to the Devil's whispers. Heresy and worship of dark powers grow stronger and more blatant with every new follower of the demonic path. This evil must be rooted-out and purged with fire. And you--out of all of the people faithful to the true religion--have been selected to restore God's holy law and order as the Inquisitor.

Inquisitor is a truly old-school cRPG with open-ended gameplay, a large world to roam freely, a plethora of items and spells at your disposal, a deep and absorbing story, and hundreds of lines of dialogs. Get Inquisitor now with 20% pre-order discount and gain immediate access to the chest of goodies that contains treasure such as a full game soundtrack, a collection of 68 artworks, the ominous Revelation of Ezekiel, and a full-fledged Inquisitor novel! The pre-order period will last until Wednesday, September 5 at 10:59 AM GMT.

If you're not yet busy rushing to pre-order this item of old-school excellence, take a moment and listen what Martin Kovar of CINEMAX--the studio that put more than 10 years into developing Inquisitor--has to say about his game.

Leroux: You mean miracles like: Suddenly flames shot out of my fingertips and consumed the infidels? ;)

Fenixp: Vast majority of attack spells are from the 'bad' schools of magic.
Hm, I was hoping for something a little more twisted, like the Church having found the secret to magic, but in order to keep anyone else from using it they officially demonize it and hunt down all other magic users ...

Starmaker: The difficulty is part of the narrative. The game does not need to tell you that thousands of heroes failed to do whatever it is that you're doing and died, it uses your corpses to illustrate difficulty.

Once you can cheat in an RPG, advancing the story and surviving is no longer an achievement. Without cheating, you may choose to outwit your opponents or resort to combat. With cheating, there's "solve the puzzle" vs "fail to solve the puzzle".
It depends on the player really. There is no one 'true way' to play games.

I'll buy it when I will have enough money.

ambient_orange: is there a real gameplay video?

Kovi: Found this: http://youtu.be/XvLmyKDPO_o
But it's from the Czech version, of course.
that's a really funny walk animation... in a very bad way :-\
besides that, resolution seems to be pretty big, yay! Let's hope it supports widescreen resolutions as well

stonebro: So, Unknown RPG from Unknown Studio with Promising Screenshots.

Can anybody testify as to the quality of this?

JMich: Known RPG from Unknown Studio with an excellent review
The english version is new, the Czech one is 3 years old (or something like that).
Known RPG from a known studio actually, if you guys never played Daemonica, you should.
I hope GOG releases both Daemonica and Numen: Contest of Heroes here because they are both good games, and Daemonica even if pretty dated is a truly amazing adventure game (but with rpg-style movement and camera)

I was actually able to open that image :P is 1280x1024 the highest one? looks like it supports a lot of them anyway, great!

tapeworm00: Changing the subject a bit, what other thing does "old-school" mean in the case of Inquisitor? It looks like it plays like Diablo, so is it a straightforward A-RPG or is it more nuanced than that? I mean I loved Diablo, but the RP part was pretty much reduced to class and attribute decisions.
avatar
Fenixp: Behold! As I've said there, you'll be talking a LOT aside from combat, and there's a lot of decisionmaking involved as well. Another of the cool oldschool aspects is that the game doesn't try to ease you into anything - you are genuinely doing what you'd expect to be doing as an investigator, without any bells and whistles or simplifications attached to it as it would be in a more modern game.
Sounds great, thanks for the response! I think I'll bite and buy it soon! :D

Haven't played it, though I had briefly tested Necromania: Traps of Darkness (or however it's called), but it moved too fast for my liking. Turn based (or multiplayer with humans) would have been better imho.
Still, not sure how many people actually know the original studio.

Really? Hm, probably something on my end then. Anyway, I'm using a monitor with native resolutions of 1280x1024, so it might go higher.

Inquisitor supports many resolutions, even 3840×2400, as you can see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1URla4abmI

Those who have read through all of this thread will probably remember that someone posted a thing that was quite spoilery. It was a comment that said the heavy metal sounding song from the trailer came from a certain boss battle, reavealing what kind of enemy the player was fighting.

How bad was that spoiler? I mean, this is supposed to be a game of investigation, and if finding out about that enemy is a large part of the game, I feel a bit cheated and actually put off from buying it.

Can someone tell me if I already know of the hidden force behind the evil conspiracy now, or if the spoiler was more minor than that? Maybe by sending me a private message, as a simple "yes" or "no" to my question might spoil the game even more for someone else who still wants to play it even if it's a yes.

It was fairly minor, don't worry.

Sorry about that spoiler. I thought this was a relatively common knowledge.
But no, even with that information, I think that you know nothing about what the story is about.

This is a question to people who have already played it (I guess the Czech version or the english beta version): How's the performance and graphical department? I've no problem with the 2D setting it seems to have but I still usually prefer to play at 1080p with 60FPS.
