Inquisitor

Inquisitor asks for patience because it is built as a slow, old-school fantasy role-playing game with a heavy mood and a strong bias toward punishment. By our assessment, its strongest quality is the sense of grim pilgrimage: towns, quests, and dungeon crawls are all wrapped in a harsh religious frame that gives the whole thing a distinct face. The downside is that the combat and pacing can feel stubborn, especially for anyone expecting smooth modern action. In practice it is a game of reading dialogue, carrying burdens, and moving through dangerous places with little mercy from the world. Compared with bright heroic RPGs, it sits much closer to the gloomy, austere side of the genre, and that is exactly its appeal. Inquisitor is best for players who want their fantasy muddy, serious, and unhurried.
