Description from IGDB IGDB

Storyline IGDB

Hellgate: London takes place in 2038, 18 years after the start of a war: London has been invaded by demons from Hell. These particular hellions are a tireless lot, and have been looking for a way into our universe for a long time. Up until recently, humans have had many champions looking to hold back the flood. Various real-world events are referenced in the background of the Hellgate story as averted crossover attempts. The Crusades were actually undertaken to fight back the minions of Hell, as was the charring of London in the great fire to wipe out the Plague. According to the story line, the famous Knights Templar were the keepers of knowledge on how to battle these demonic forces. Unfortunately, these heroes underwent a charring of their own at the hands of a jealous King Phillip IV, who hated the power they held in the world at large. While the Knights Templar survived as an organization, their numbers were severely diminished and were forced to remain in hiding to stay alive.

Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA

Hellgate: London is an action role-playing game that builds upon the core design of roguelikes by using random generation of maps, monsters, and loot to allow for replayability. The game can be played in either third person perspective or first person perspective. Hellgate: London can be played offline or online without a fee. Players can pay a monthly fee to gain additional content over time, including new areas, weapons, monsters, classes, quests, events, titles, game modes, and other content. The game consists of six acts to unify the areas a player travels through on a greater scale. All acts account for approximately 25–40 hours of single-player gameplay. Hellgate: London was initially designed to be primarily focused on solo and cooperative PvE combat, but players can duel and there is a free-for-all PvP mode for subscribers. Dueling can only take place outside of Underground hubs. Players can also choose to enter into PvP mode, which means they can be attacked and harmed outside of Underground hubs by anyone else that has chosen to enter PvP mode. The game does not feature LAN support. The game world of Hellgate: London is a set of demon-infested dungeons and city streets, featuring safe zones such as disused London Underground stations. The safe zones scattered across the world act as havens, where players can purchase and upgrade items at NPC merchants, interact with other players in the game world, and commence or complete quests. The journey between zones is randomly generated; levels are fully 3D, rendered with the game's own proprietary graphics engine. Included in these environments are randomly generated enemies, bosses, and items. The game features historical London areas and buildings, such as St Paul's Cathedral and Big Ben. The Hellgate: London setting has six classes to choose from. These are paired up into three main archetypes, referred to as Factions in game. The factions are split as follows: Templars, the fighter faction, are of an order of divine warriors who wish to preserve humanity and smite the Great Dark that has fallen upon the world. Their two classes are Guardians and Blademasters. Cabalists, the mage faction, are seekers of knowledge who want to control the fate of mankind by studying the Great Dark and using their powers. Their classes are Summoners and Evokers. Hunters, the ranged faction, are highly trained ex-military operatives who have been through almost every warlike scenario imaginable. Marksmen and Engineers are their classes. Melee classes are limited to a third-person view, whereas ranged classes default to a first-person view but can switch to a third-person view if desired. Precision aiming is not required to use most weapons, which track their targets, lock on, or carpet an area with explosives. The game contains sniper rifles and other weapons that require accurate manual aiming, though most are exclusive to the Hunter faction. Players may choose the character's name and various visual physical attributes. Depending on whether they're playing single-player or multiplayer, several different difficulty settings will be available to players when creating new characters. A character is permanently locked to the chosen mode. Normal mode is the default difficulty setting. Elite mode is designed to be harder than normal difficulty with several adjustments to game mechanics. Enemies are stronger and deal more damage, and rarer mobs are more likely to spawn. Augments are also more expensive, and merchants pay less for goods. Hardcore mode is played in either Normal or Elite difficulty and adds permadeath as a consequence for dying. Hellgate: London uses a heavily randomized item system featuring a large variety of base weapon types and armor types, with a pool of random properties and bonuses (magical affixes) applied to them to promote replayability and item collection. Furthermore, unwanted weapons and armor can be freely disassembled to save space in one's inventory, often yielding crafting materials that can be exchanged for new weapons or used to upgrade existing ones. Items may have slots that a player can insert mods in to further enhance their power. The single-player version of Hellgate: London hosts a five-act story questline. Elite characters can be created once a character has completed the story quest line once. The storyline can be repeated in Nightmare difficulty, where enemies start at level 30. A character's experience is capped at 50 levels, while enemies in Nightmare difficulty can reach level 62.
