Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor is now open for early access. The new game features a Chaos-infested Caligari Sector where you play as an agent from the Imperium of Man. Let’s see what comes with the early access and what the developers had to say to Steam about it.
Enter the Chaos-infested Caligari Sector and purge the unclean with the most powerful agents of the Imperium of Man.
Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr is a grim Action-RPG featuring multiple classes of the Inquisition who will carry out the will of the Emperor even in the darkest reaches of the Imperium!Why Early Access?
“Inquisitor – Martry is a complex, multi-layered ARPG with a long-term game cycle planned, with many online features that’s hard to finalize with a small internal team. With Early Access, we hope to gather real feedback from a wide range of players, then polish and balance all the features based on that feedback.”
Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
“We expect the game to be in Early Access for about six months.”
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
“With most of the gameplay elements lacking real polish, we estimate this game to be 60-70% complete. It has 80% of planned features with around 40% of the planned content. The game will be expanded and polished in the near future, but we don’t plan on big, fundamental changes, and there are no game breaking problems.”
What is the current state of the Early Access version?
“Some mission types are playable both in single player and co-operative mode (including new Defend and Endless modes), now with general and combat tutorials. A basic PvP mode is included, another PvP mode will be added for testing. Story campaign will be added at full release.
Two character classes are playable (Crusader and Assassin), each with three specializations and melee / ranged loadout options (Psyker will be added throughout the Early Access). Both classes can utilize all their weapons, skills and both have a full passive skill tree. Skill customization (Inoculator), crafting and Uther’s Tarot missions can be used. Glory system and Protector system is also integrated in the game. Seasons and Global Events are not part of Early Access.
Factions include Nurgle, Worldbearer and Rebels, more will be added at full release. The Star Map starts with the first subsector fully playable (others will be unlocked at release and afterwards). The first subsector will be expanded during Early Access. It includes points of interests with multiple terrain settings with several subsettings and 40-40 levels each. Investigations have multiple story modules, Early Access expands on them. Players can create, upgrade Cabals and complete Cabal missions.
Early Access starts with reset characters for all players, including Founders.
Early access for Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr looks like it’s going to run for about six months before it’s fully released. This means people that order it now will get access to about 80% of the planned features and 40% of the planned content. But how much does it cost?
You can pick the game up now for $49.99 on Steam, and the price will not change later.
So if this is a game you’re looking at picking up you can rest assured there will not be a difference in cost from the early access to main release. One of the biggest things about running an early access program, especially for six months, is the developers are looking for community feedback on gameplay or issues, testing their servers to make sure everything runs smoothly, and last minute changes to gameplay and features. If you do decide to pick the new game up and you notice something while you’re playing, drop the developers a message and let them know what you experienced.
What do you think about the new Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr? Are you going to be participating in the early access?
