At first glance, Inquisitor sounds like a game out of every RPG fan's hopes and dreams. Developed over the course of nearly ten years by Czech developer Cinemax, with the English translation and additional bug-fixing occupying several more after the original release, Inquisitor is an extremely ambitious RPG that feels like a blast from the past. Everything about RPGs from the late 90s and early 2000s is present in Inquisitor: highly detailed pre-rendered backgrounds, an extremely large amount of text dialogue to read, an original fantasy universe, an extensive character system full of skills and attributes, lengthy dungeons to crawl through, and roughly one hundred hours of gameplay (apparently a point of pride for the developer).

games have changed a lot and this generation has changed over previous generation. Sometimes appears a game that tries to forget it and success betting on game mechanics dated, but good results can sometimes to mix other recent concepts, bringing these games to the current times. Unfortunately then there are games with Inquisitor, a game that does not have a single aspect worthy of 2013, eventually the question Inquisitor is not a good game, but it would be a good Inquisitor game in 2003?
DHGF: The Inquisitor is the first entry into a four part tale focusing on the fantasy tales of a real 14th century Inquisitor, Nicolas Eymerich. It succeeds in conveying his mindset and attitudes towards persecuting those outside the church, but I think it falls a little short of how far he might go. Being the first part of a four part story, there is decent enough pacing and the pieces for a larger tale are all being set in place. There is enough here for about six to ten hours of play time without repeating it but the English dialogue and translation feels a bit rough making it hard to sit through. I am curious how it will go from here, but more for a look at the supernatural events than the characters as they are all hard to relate to, especially the lead.
