Travis Patterson (Gamer Headlines) has put together the current information available for Warhammer 40K: Inquisitor - Martyr:

Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr – In Depth Look

[...] For the first time ever, in the history of the Warhammer 40k gaming franchise, Neocore Games is attempting to create a game that has never been done before. Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr is designed to be an Action RPG much in the style of their Van Helsing games. Another great example of an Action RPG would be Blizzard’s Diablo III.

Now unlike other Action RPG’s this one will have a cover system, not just for the hero, but the AI can use it as well. In fact if you take cover, the AI will respond and take cover as well. Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr is taking not only the rules of this genre, but the rules of 40k, and incorporating the lore, to make something truly special and unique. Also Neocore Games has promised that it won’t be just a wave of hordes of enemies coming at you that you would find in a Diablo game. The game is designed to be very strategic, tactical, and the enemies, as well as the hero, are very powerful. I’m sure at some point, it might be possible to find a mission or two with a horde aspect, but this is not what the core game is going to be about.

The player will assume the role of an Inquisitor. There will be 3 classes, 1 will be a female class, and the other 2 will be male classes. A Crusader Tank style class has been confirmed, the other two have not. However, while going through the Pre-Alpha screenshots I noticed one of the Inquisitor’s was named Reborn Marauder. This very well could be a DPS class. At this moment though, it is only purely speculation.

There will be a wide arrange of weaponry from the Warhammer 40k franchise. I did watch the Gamescon 2015 footage, and in that footage they showed us a power sword, a bolter, a plasma gun heavy weapon, and talked about a chainsword in great detail. I imagine there will be several additional weapons, but it was nice to see early game play footage and a variety of weapons. It looked really good for a Pre-Alpha state. You can watch the Gamescon 2015 footage here. [...]
