Ever wish someone took Diablo 3 and put it in a sandbox? Me neither but here it is. We’ve got promises and trailers what more do we need? We don’t know a lot yet but here it is, and if you know more I’ll throw it into the OP.  Inquisitor – Martyr is an open-world sandbox Action-RPG set in the Caligari Sector, a secluded region of the Imperium with hundreds of star systems, thousands of planets, which offers a huge variety of mission types on randomly generated maps: a persistent universe with special mini-campaigns and a storyline influenced by the community. 4 player cooperative play.  True to the spirit of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, the gameplay incorporates tactical elements like the cover-based combat, a brand new AI and controllable vehicles, not to mention the spectacular display of destruction where attacks noticeably affect the environment. Aimed attacks at giant foes can destroy body parts, getting rid of the special abilities, not to mention the rewarding and special execution moves to finish off the bosses. Build and develop your own inquisitorial fortress. Defend it through indirect pvp.  https://www.neocoregames.com/en/games/warhammer-40k-inquisitor-martyr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaFnYTxOTuQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUBPRJLXSAI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwNjuXG_DKo

Yes hello I will be your designated moron today. They started off strong by releasing the wrong build to Steam for purchasers. It was insanely rough. Will report later about updated build.

I played through the entire Van Helsing trilogy with my brother and while we had fun, I'd be hard pressed to actually call the games "good" so there's no way I'm buying this at anything close to full price. Neocore definitely falls into the quantity>quality school of game design.

They're doing the thing where they're running distribution, branches, testing, etc through Steam's infrastructure, but you have to buy it directly from them currently. I'm sure there's some legal or money trick to that whole deal, but it's a pretty standard thing. They give you a Steam key.

Isn't the point of the Inquisition to, you know, inquire and stuff? I mean, it might well turn out to be a fun action game in its own right, but it seems odd to take the one aspect of 40k that's well-suited to somewhat more subtle/talky approach and make it all about shooting big monsters.

Every Warhams I've read so far regarding Inquisition aggregates to this conclusion: Their job is 99 % shooting / stabbing / flamer-ing things for having an extra toe or a lazy eye and maybe % 1 actually investigating things (even then it is highly optional)

I think there wasn't enough impact; literally, when I hit something or got hit or got a crit, there was no sense of anything actually happening. Game really needs some screen shake and poo poo. Still I'm a bitch for anything Warhams because it's such a good setting for video games so I'll probably get this at some point unless reviews are real bad. Godspeed, brave Orv

Yeah a randomly generated ARPG sandbox persistent world with an ongoing storyline and DLC and indirect PVP, sounds real promising and not the buzzwords from a dartboard.

So that video is of the old build, which none of the public were supposed to see. The new build, I'm happy to report, is much better; it's more fleshed out in systems (loot, leveling, missions, star map), plays better and runs about the same. This is all relative to the earlier build of course, and the reality is that this game is truly in alpha. Even for an early access project, this is a very early time to let the generally-video-game-development-ignorant public see your game. Probably too early, honestly. So what's the punchline? At this time I cannot recommend you purchase this in any way. If they manage to get it working properly (and there's no reason they shouldn't, they've made perfectly technically sound games before), it'll be a cool Warhammer Diablo. Right now it's a goddamn mess. Also requesting a thread title change to Inquisitor Martyr - 99 Problems And A Dreadnought Is Every One. Seriously you fight like five Nurgle Dreadnoughts in every mission right now. E: On the other hand... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9c5pKKU1NU (Still don't buy it.)

I was curious if the Warhammer and 40K franchies were getting close to overtaking Dungeons and Dragons for more video game adaptions and it looks like they are over half-way there. Total # of video games i including expansions: D&D - 85 Warhammer -18 Warhammer 40K - 34 I thought it would be closer but there was a mountain load of D&D games released between 1988-1994.

The character and environment models look very good, but the combat animations/effects and gameplay seem fairly slow and not very exciting. Comparing for instance the missle swarm that fires a few missles that briefly cause a small red glow, versus something like meteor shower in diablo 3, theres a big difference in how satisfying the animations look and to me action rpgs were always about how satisfying it is to blast groups of enemies with cool looking animations over and over.

At those prices they are clearly huffing something. Don't waste money unless it's on sale and you like burning money. Or failing that go play kotor or something. This is another Eternal Crusade.

Add int he elder scroll games while you are at it. Might as well add starcraft and warcraft for warhammer since they were originally going to be before blizzard couldn't get the IP rights.

Heh, you say that now, but if you'd had the chance to buy into WoW for a thousand bucks during alpha and got every expansion free with it, you'd be just about ready to break even in just another 14 expansions. Sucker.

GW only very recently worked out that videogames = money. (They seem to be immune to the lesson that Too Many Bad Games = No Money due to an entrenched and rabidly loyal fanbase)

Neocore has made functional games, in this genre even, unlike Behaviour whose only games before EC were shovelware licensed games for a decade and a half, that's a poor to hyperbolic comparison. Given that $40 gets you the full game on release and the other tiers are clearly intended for the kind of people who have the disposable income for actual Warhammer minatures, it's hardly some scam. You still absolutely shouldn't buy into it at this point, mind you.
