Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr



This is a stand alone game coming out late in July.


Yeah not exactly sure how I feel about it being "standalone" - the thing people are complaining about is you can't go back and re-play the base game campaign as the new class, which just seems like LAZINESS from the devs that they didn't want to rework another series of voice acting with the new class to be able to play through both the base game and the "expansion" - but at the current sale price, regardless, this is a fun game and I've already gotten my money's worth - not much else right now that I'm playing or looking forward to within 30 days or so, so it worked out just fine for me.
 
Is this game anything like Warhammer 40k Dawn of War? I enjoy playing that game and it's DLC's but have read bad reviews on DOW2 and so on.

That is just odd for an ARPG. These Van Helsing devs have always been kinda weird though..

Nope. It's an Action-RPG like Diablo etc.

The DOW2 base campaign and co-op are VERY well done. Just don't expect the level of base-building and RTS strategy that you're accustom to in the original DOW.... (I feel DOW2 caught a lotta flack when it actually did a lot of things REALLY right)
 
I want this game but I don't want to squint so not sure if I want to buy it for my 24" monitor.
 
Finally picked this up I actually didn't know it was a Action RPG when it launched I thought it was turned based at one time. still downloading the game....
 
Tried it didn't like the controls when zoomed out everything looks the same. I like the graphics and sounds but gameplay just isn't there. Played for about a hour just refunded it..... One of those top down game that makes you feel like shit after a while because it's 3-D top down. My character said "feel the burn" basically that is what the game did to me.

Warhammer Mechanicus is alot better :D and so is Grim Dawn :D

MAJOR UPDATE
POSTED

Just in case, the Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr Complete collection is on sale at Steam to $17.

I'm on the fence; Who's played after the 2.0 changes? How would this compare gameplay-wise against Wolcen or Grim Dawn?

Wayyyyy better than Wolcen..

Not in the same league as Grim Dawn / Path of Exile. (but what is really..)

DEF worth $17.

- I picked up the Prophecy expansion cuz that's also on sale right now. If that's any indicator....
 
It's on sale- 66% off, including all DLC ($16.99 base game / $27.19 for the whole pile).

Which DLC's are worth it?
 
Yeah, I looked through most of the DLC and figured why not grab it all. The only silly thing I saw was a whopping sixty-six cents. D/L in progress now.
 
I've played a little of all three classes, and the Psycker seems the most fun. This is not Diablo but a very fun game.
 
it gets better, the skill trees are really complex

After seeing this game launch with fairly mixed to negative reviews, I decided to check it out to see how it is doing in 2020. They have made a massive amount of improvements and after about 5 hours of play, I can say I am really enjoying it.

Definitely not as polished as many other ARPGs out there and does have a certain level of jank that anyone familiar with the Van Helsing series will have experienced. However, the amount of content, customization and systems that are in play really make this game worth checking out.

They are now doing Seasons in a similar fashion to Diablo 3 which adds another layer of reasons to play. So far I am very impressed!

 
I get tired of the Grimdark, but it's about the best overall Wharhammer realtime game I've ever played.
 
^This. If you like 40K and action hack-n-slash RPG (with lots of ranged), you need to try this.
 
The complete collection is $20. FYI since the unfurl of the URL just shows the base game. All the DLC is 75% off, too, if you're just missing some pieces of content.

Well.... I've got the base-game and Prophecy. (Don't really see any "lil" DLC that stands out??)

PLUS, I just picked up Van Helsing: Final Cut the other day. (Along with vanilla Van Helsing 1 for like $1.50 - since the reviews conflict on which version is superior)

Neocore apparently is gettin' all my Steam Sale dollars this go-around....
 
Prophesy was kind of meh. I got a refund for it.

Van Helsing: FC was a blast. Played the heck out of it.

I also enjoyed Victor Vran. Basically a Van Helsing knock off (or is it the other way around?).

Victor Vran came out two years after the first The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing.

Van Helsing was the last one I played a lot of. Victor Vran was just okay. I never bought Martyr when it came out as the reviews were not at all good at the time. I'm not sure the setting is interesting to me either. I would like another isometric ARPG to play though.

The Inquisitor - Martyr pack for $20 won't disappoint you sir.

(Neocore = the same developer that made Van Helsing AND 40K Inquisitor) (y)

- They did a big 2.0 patch a while back that made the game sooooo much better.

Also, the lore of 40K is BAD-ASS!!

 
New DLC with the Sisters of Battle out. I can't believe they are still updating this game! If you have not tried this yet, it's a Diablo-like but vastly different universe and gameplay- and very nice looking also.
 
I've had my fun with I:M totaling 536 hours according to steam, and leveled 4 character to 100.
Not really interested anymore in the game as a whole and have moved on. Back when they initially revealed a new character class was coming I thought they were going to do something along the lines of a Grey Knight terminator. That would have been pretty cool and would've most definitely had me reinstalling for another go.
