Development Info Inquisitor launches english beta

Sometimes I have this strange urgency to play something diablo-like for a while. Maybe this could satisfy my needs?

I have this urge since Diablo 3 failed to deliver for more than one playthrough.

The graphics in this Inquisitor look a lot like Divine Divinity and Lionheart. Which is a good thing!

Finally!

Woah, look at all 'em sprites and buttons. I want this.

Have any Czech Codexers played this?

I know I wouldn't give beta access to John Walker either

Well, at least it looks like a proper rpg, color me interested.

Guys, don't get your hopes too high. There were threads about this game and I remember our resident Czechs said the game was mediocre. Sure, I'd like for a proper Codex review. Maybe they didn't grant RPS a review rights because they feared because their game is old school, it will gain negative publicity etc. I think one of the devs posted here about english version, and they could be receptive for a Codex review (because we mostly favor old school design).

It looks good, but that's just about it. Then again, Diablo-likes were never my cup of tea. I did like Kult: Heretic Kingdoms though (another "original" Diablo-like from CE).

What is this and why haven't I heard of it yet?

Wait, this is made by the the same people who made Kult? I remember they were working on some game for a long time too.

Anyway, fucking awesome 2D graphics.

I want to be a Torquemada!

It... lives

I recall relatively negative impressions of the game from people who had tested it out while still Czech only.

However, if it is made by the developers of Kult, that gives me some sense of positivity. Kult was a very charming game, and had wonderful backgrounds and art, as well as character.

There was a thread not long ago and a developer posted. He said specifically that it's not a Diablo clone and is a true RPG. He also said something to the extent that he's tired of this misconception everyone has for some reason.

D’oh! At first thought someone was trying to bring the awesome Black Eye PnP module to PC.

Still it looks okayish, I guess. At least it doesn’t look like too much of a click-fest and the story seams halfway decent. It’s just a shame they went the combat route, instead of concentrating on investigating heretics and putting fear of god into peasants. We really need a game that let’s one order the Auto-da-fé.



Edit:

I so hope it's true and the game turns out to be a hardcore RPG after all.

It's realtime with puases combat then? Don'T mind that either. I thought it would be more like rt Diablo where you can switch partymembers. Originally I thought the game is a fraud, but now it becomes very interesting. The review scores aren't that high but the things they mention sounds like the things I want to hear. Maybe Czech press is just Oblivion biased?

It is such a shame projects like this make all these wonderful assets that are never used again. Then the next indie dev has to spend 3 years coding and isometric engine and drawing sprites and backgrounds.

It would be great if the engine would be sold, so that a different dev might create a game with it. I mean, just look at those screens. It baffles me how anyone can call the graphics ugly.
