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.
Hmm, doesn't really sound like my cup of tea. Too bad. Thanks for your review.
is there a real gameplay video?
is it hack and slash (like Diablo) or more like baldur's gate?

Found this: http://youtu.be/XvLmyKDPO_o
But it's from the Czech version, of course.

Merchito: Thank you for your answer, it makes it even more exciting. :))
I guess you're related to the dev team. I wish you all good luck with this release.
Judging by his nickname, he must be the guy from the video.

Real-time hack and slash, you do get followers, but they have their own AI (you can control them via orders, however)
Anothe suprise. i though it's TBA (or what it's called) abandoned project. Heard main programer died... and what I see? Preorder? Wow.

Are you Martin "Kovi" Kovar from the video? If so, I'd like to ask you a few questions about the english translation. Apparently it took three years but exactly how was it done? Did Cinemax work with the translator closely, maybe doing the localization yourselves, like CDProjekt did for The Witcher 2?
Also, is there voice-acting in the game? Is it possible to have czech voices and english text, for example?

From what I read, it's more like Baldur's Gate combat, ie real-time but you can pause combat by pressing space-bar anytime. It actually makes you wonder why they would even bother with a pause when it's single-character and no party, I hope their isn't too much potion scumming during combat.

But yeah, followers have their own AI, like Fallout or Arcanum.

Well you can also pause Diablo by pressing 'ESC,' but that doesn't make it BG-like :-P Really, it's not pseudo-turnbased, you can't control your followers, you just exchange attacts with your enemy until one of you falls over. And there's a LOT of potion gulping.

I do mean it, it's like you're playing an RPG from 1999. Which I suppose was king of the point.

Oh? Does it lock you into auto-attack, or do you have to click every-time you attack, like Diablo? And by "pause", I mean you can pause during combat, issue commands like spells/potions, and when you unpause the PC automatically performs those actions in combat.

Ah, the Ultima VII school of combat tactics...
I wish this were available for this whole weekend =)
