    In terms of content and base mechanics this is just as good as on PC, but Neocore still has problems to translate their engine to console. And it shows in a lot of areas - especially on the standard systems.

    There are plenty of enjoyable elements to be had but with repetition proving heavy throughout, you have to be prepared for the grind to really get the most out of this Warhammer-RPG.

    Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor Martyr (told you the name was ridiculous) is a solid game that I had a lot of fun with…once I got past its blemishes. A patch or two and this game might be a must-own for ARPG fans. Right now though, it is hard to recommend due to its hindrances.

    An enjoyable enough adventure through Warhammer 40K’s dark future that never quite manages to exhilarate you.

    A great proposal if you are a Warhammer fan, but not that much if you aren't and it's a bit uglier than the original PC version.

    Warhammer 40K: Inquisitor – Martyr is a pretty solid ARPG from NeocoreGames with some neat ideas – like procedurally generated dungeons – but it’s far too frustrating and repetitive for a mere mortal like myself. If grind is your name though, you should probably change it, but at least you’ll like Martyr.

    I wanted to like this marriage of Warhammer and action-RPG. Really like it. And initially I did, but the honeymoon was over pretty damn quickly. The hotel room was nasty and bug infested. The food invaried and bland. And the wife who looked so radiant on the day, lost most of her appeal when her skills and abilities were found to be lacklustre and severely limited.

The game is both fun playing on your own and with friends and I’m pleased to say that the online components hold up really well throughout.
    In terms of content the game has a decent amount for you to get to grips and you will no doubt return back to this game time and time again. You can do a lot of customisation to your character and taking them into battle very rarely gets dull because the combat is pretty decent. Each element in the game combines together really well and I was pleased that they didn’t try to make doing certain things too complicated. There isn’t really anything wrong with the presentation side of the game I just felt it to be a little boring and nothing much stood out here. The story may be good in parts but overall it failed to keep me interested and I’ve seen better. Does Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr do enough to get a recommendation from me? Warhammer 40k: Inquisitor – Martyr has had its release day pushed back several times on the Xbox One and whilst this was pretty frustrating I’m kinda glad that they did because they’ve released a game that has very few problems and it offers you a smooth experience throughout. The smooth experience though isn’t the highlight of the game for me though because I’ve reserved that for the variety the game has. I’m not exaggerating when I say that every aspect of the game has variety and when you combine that variety with the game’s different elements you end up having a very enjoyable experience even when you play on your own. I would however recommend that you play this game with friends because this is when the gameplay truly shines and thankfully I’m pleased to say that the game doesn’t have many problems at all when played online. This then means that Warhammer 40k: Inquisitor – Martyr gets a big thumbs up from me because it goes about everything the right way.    … Full Review »

    The game feels more like a very long concept demo rather then a fully fleshed game. The
    itemization is the worst I have ever seen in ARPG,    The game feels more like a very long concept demo rather then a fully fleshed game. The
    itemization is the worst I have ever seen in ARPG, seems that the only thing that matters is quality (ilvl in other games) and not actual stats. Sometimes you get to a point where for several levels the items can roll exactly the same stats ranges but the quality level raises anyway?!?. It is a broken game, I really regret having bought it full price. There are other things like bugs and the very small and boring maps. Save money and time, play something else.    … Full Review »

    gets boring reaaaally really fast. it´s repetetive to no end, no sense of progression. it´s not really an rpg since leveling up doesn´t changegets boring reaaaally really fast. it´s repetetive to no end, no sense of progression. it´s not really an rpg since leveling up doesn´t change anything at all. you leveled up? great now invest your points in another 0,0000001% damage boost. the box says it´s diablo in the 40k universe. if that was their goal they failed miserably. in diablo each level up was something special since you gain new skills or modify existing ones to change and adapt your tactics. it was someting new and fun to play around with here the skills are bland and broing and mostly useless and very few in number you´ll unlock ALL of them within the first few hours of the game and that´s it. that wouldn´t be that much of a problem if there was decent loot to be had, something new to play around with. but again no. you get bombarded by trash you´ll never use. they new damn well why they but auto sell all buttons in the game because you´ll ne using them constantly. i´m a huge fan of both 40k and diablo so this game should be just the thing for me and if you just skip through gameplay videos it might look decent at first glance. but trust me it´s not. it´s so much wasted potential incredibly poor game design. they clearly had no clue at all what their doing here and wasted yet another opportunity to make decent 40k game. it´s sad but this one is just like its loop useless trash that should be sold instantly.… Full Review »
