Evaluation

Inquisitor launched on August 7, 2013 as a fully realized old-school isometric RPG. The two DLC items on the store — a Deluxe Edition Upgrade and an eBook — both released in February 2015 and represent the complete catalog of add-on content for the game. The last developer communication related to Inquisitor itself was a bug-fix patch (Update 1.10.18) on June 19, 2017, which addressed quest logic and dialogue issues. Before that, Update 1.10.17 shipped on May 15, 2014. No further patches, announcements, or content updates have appeared since June 2017. The only other notable developer news post was a March 2017 announcement that the studio had released a separate, unrelated game called The Keep — signaling that the team had moved on to new projects rather than continuing work on Inquisitor. There are no unreleased DLC entries, no announced roadmap, no season pass, and no developer statements indicating further content is planned. The game shipped as a complete product and has received no content development activity since June 2017.

About this game

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.
