Special Features

 

  • A New Perspective on RPGs: Combining the depth and customisability of role-playing games with the immersive experience of a first-person perspective, gameplay is fast-paced without requiring lightning-fast FPS reflexes, making it accessible to a broad audience of RPG fans.
  • Unique and Appealing World: Experience the ominous setting of post-apocalyptic London. From ancient ruins buried beneath city streets to shattered cathedrals to the last remnants of humanity bunkered in the Underground, the boundary between fact and myth are blurred as a few glorious heroes fight for their very souls.
  • Customizable Character Classes: Fight against the demons of the underworld as one of several unique character classes. Like the Templar, each class has a unique visual and game play style based on their particular history and heritage. Randomly generated and modifiable items ensure that heroes are distinct and individualised.
  • Hell on Earth: Battle against a wide variety of demonic enemies, each with their own unique attributes, abilities, and vulnerabilities.
  • Infinite Replayability: With dynamically-generated levels, massive quantities of randomly- created items, chance events and story-driven quests, no two gaming experiences are ever the same.
  • Single-Player and Online Multiplayer Support: While Hellgate: London stands on its own as a single-player game, it also provides a compelling cooperative multiplayer experience through a dedicated online gaming destination. By creating unique and individualised game play "instances" within a vast online community, gamers get all the best parts of traditional massive multiplayer games without the common downsides.

Review

 




Set twenty-five years in the future, Hellgate: London introduces a world devastated by a demon invasion and a desolate city scorched by hellfire where mankind has gone underground to survive. Among them are the Templar, an archaic and secret society that foresaw this demonic apocalypse centuries ago.

Hellgate: London combines the depth of role-playing games and action of first-person titles, while offering infinite playability with randomly created levels, items, and events. The player creates a heroic character, completes quests, and battles through innumerable hordes of demons to advance through experience levels and branching skill paths. A robust, flexible skill and spell system, highly customisable appearances, and a massive variety of randomly generated equipment allow players to create their own unique hero.

Customer rating: 2 out of 5 stars Tedious and lacks replayability

Avoid this game. After about 10 to 15 hours of play you've seen basically all the game has to offer. Missions are virtually all 'kill X number of monster and bring back Y body part', the plot (such as it is) is so linear it may as well be on railway tracks, the environment tilesets are extremely limited, the monsters seem to be the same ones you saw a dozen levels ago and the online community is almost non-existent. In short, its a snore-fest that you may not want to play through ONCE, never mind again and again.
