Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr - Hierophant Class (DLC)

Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr is a grimdark action-RPG built around the Inquisition's least subtle problem-solvers, and the Hierophant Class DLC adds a fresh playable archetype to that roster: an Inquisitor with a Hierophant background. If you've spent any time with Martyr, you know the base game's loop is dense, loot-heavy, and mechanically layered in a way that rewards min-maxers and punishes button-mashers. This DLC fits directly into that structure, offering a new lens through which to replay content you may have already cleared several times over. The Hierophant framing positions this class as a zealous faith-warrior, and in a setting where the distinction between psyker power and divine will is deliberately blurry, that's a rich space to occupy. The class identity leans into Ecclesiastical authority, which in 40K terms means you're wielding belief as a weapon, not just a motivation. Whether the skill trees and ability interactions actually back that thematic premise up with meaningful mechanical differentiation is the real test, and Neocore has a track record of giving each archetype its own distinct feel without completely rewriting the game's underlying systems. Builds that mix offensive faith-based abilities with supportive auras should give co-op players a reason to slot this class into group content specifically. That said, this is DLC in the most literal sense: it adds one class and nothing else. No new story arc, no new Subsector to unpack, no fresh dialogue that rewards a close read. For players who care about narrative payoff alongside mechanical novelty, that's a real limitation. Martyr's worldbuilding is genuinely interesting, and a class rooted in the Ministorum deserves lore investment to match. If Neocore chose to tell us more about what a Hierophant actually believes, who they answer to, and what moral weight that carries inside the Inquisition's famously flexible ethical framework, this would be a more compelling purchase. As it stands, the appeal is almost entirely mechanical. Who should pick this up: players with 40-plus hours in Martyr who want a new build to theory-craft, fans of support-adjacent hybrid classes, and anyone who runs the co-op modes regularly and wants to bring something different to a fireteam. If you're new to the game or haven't exhausted the base roster, start there. The Hierophant will still be waiting.
