Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr Reviews

great game, i went looking for a shooter diablo and found this gem has some small drawbacks but otherwise is great, when im perusing my library for something this is most likely to be replayed and downloaded then most other titles, its got alot of missions, good amount of weapons, classes are fine although i really only play crusader with ranged weapons , if your looking for something to smash out recommended , also on xbox!, 7/10 worth replaying, worth buying , on sale ofc as it is older.

Fun slightly older game, played it with a friend, had a great time, enemies do pack a punch

Normally when I play an RPG game I value story more than I value mechanics. My favourites are games KOTOR I&II and Mass Effect trio to say the least. And I don't know what made me to buy this game, because I don't do well with Diablo since it is very repetitive and I actually didn't know much about the Warhammer in general. Somehow I happened to buy it and I've played it for some time now. The game is repetitive, yes, and also the mechanics are not well-explained unfortunately. You need to read online resources for more than min-max reasons. Like even when it simply tells you about Supreme Critical Chance, you end up reading about it online. But still, the Warhammer world is just too good and the game itself is very playable. Different classes give different options as usual, and even within the same class you still end up trying different types of weapons and tactics.

Played for a few days. Didn't know about offline play - so I've literally been unable to play every single day since buying because after hours of actively playing the game suddenly game crashes into "unable to connect to server" message. Seen the "fixes" they suggested in discord. None of them worked. Seems like its just an ignored issue with the game as a whole being closer to EOS as time goes on. Wish you could convert from online to offline.... ---Edit 1: Offline play doesn't include the campaign missions or leagues. It's like the guiding parts of the game are turned off. Online play is still unreachable. Such a waste man I really was enjoying this one...

I only play offline single player for casual and mostly brainless fun. The game has a very unimpressive start and is terribly optimized, but once you get past those issues there is fun to be had. I was actually just about to refund it when i started to enjoy the gameplay. I got it for 90% off and so should you. Definitely not AAA quality, but worth it if all you want to do is burn heretics with a flamethrower until they turn into bloody soup.

I love this game - but its cost prohibitive. $20 for a character class is just way too damn high.

At first glance, you might assume Inquisitor Martyr is a series of boring, linear corridor levels with no promise of exploration and low enemy variety. You'll be correct. However, the combat and class customization elevate what could have been a mediocre experience into the "goated with the sauce" territory. Like many other aRPGs, this game actually has a very enjoyable action game/twin stick shooter underneath all the stats and RPG mechanics. Most aRPGs, however, suffer from being too stat-driven, to the point where the action gameplay stops mattering and the gameplay devolves into stat-checking: either you instagib the room or get instagibbed yourself. Inquisitor Martyr works around this problem by allowing you to fine-tune the difficulty level before every mission, so that you can always play on the edge of your gamer chair and have the best kind of aRPG experience - engaging action combat, and not just a series of stat checks. The classes are fun. They strike a good balance between something like Diablo, where a class is pretty much locked into a single playstyle, and Titan Quest/Grim Dawn, where the unique identity of the character classes is sacrificed for the sake of customization. The weapon movesets are fun. They aren't consistent in power factor (some "generalist" weapons seem to be doing everything good, and more specialized weapons suffer from being OK at one thing and terrible for everything else, there's a clear bias towards AoE versus single target weapons), but most of them have enjoyable moves that can be stringed together like in a more traditional action videogame. I have to specifically mention the eviscerator - probably the best designed aRPG weapon of all time. The tank/titan missions are dumb. But still fun. Personally, I much prefer the Inquisitor martyr's take on the aRPG genre over something like PoE. This is just pure, unadulterated action RPG goodness with the emphasis on the "action" part.

One of the few singleplayers game that got me. Even better if your are into Warhammer.

Lore-rich Story to go along with the shooty shooty, fun gameplay

Love it so far. Bought it while it was on sale, hoping for a Diablo clone based on the W40k universe. Ranged combat is fun and the flamer is awesome. Stilll trying out other builds and don't have a ton of time in it yet, but still having fun.
