DESCRIPTION
Righteous heroes are sent to hell and — hopefully — back again, in Hellgate: London, a combat-heavy game with deep, RPG-style character development. From a perspective more common to 3D shooters, players guide supernatural savants and modern-day Knights Templar to battle against an eruption of demons into our realm, using swords, summoning, and spiritual fortitude, in the hope of keeping one small corner of Earth a safe shelter for humanity's continued existence.
In the year 2020, the forces of hell launched an invasion into our world, intent on claiming it for their own. They were successful. By 2025, London is a wasteland of broken buildings and lifeless landscape. Dubbed "the burn" by survivors, the devastation of the city is part of the demons plan to literally create hell on Earth. Some hope to stop the devastation by awakening the power of an ancient artifact called "the sigil." Others seek to harness the great power of the demons for their own purposes, instead of eliminating the threat outright.
Hellgate: London is the first release from Flagship Studios, which was founded by former Blizzard North developers who worked on the landmark PC game, Diablo. Beyond the demonic themes, subterranean settings, and fast-paced action-RPG style, Hellgate benefits from other Diablo standards, such as randomly generated levels and online multiplayer adventuring through dynamically scaling instances. ~ T.J.

“Hellgate: London had a great idea....a great story....great combat....but a not so great ending. As of writing this game has hit the gaming graveyard after suffering from limited sales and declining server populations. Unfortunate? Yes. Imagine Diablo II with magic and guns, that was Hellgate. I sank countless hours into this game with the repetitive grind and blast before reaching the "end" of the game. Unfortunately it does not offer the same replayability that was so easy in Diablo II. I am unsure if this is due to a stagnant atmosphere of repetition or the not so exciting read me text questing. Most likely it is the result of both and resulted in the toppling of the developing studio. I would still recommend a go through of this game...but I would expect to play this one alone.”

“That game was far from being as bad as it was said, but paying almost as much for its full online mode as for a true MMORPG was a really, really terrible idea.”

“This was fun for a while and the concept was nice its just ashame they struggled so hard with the servers, which is a major shame and i thought it was pulled of quite nicely. The mobs could of used a bit more work as they always got stuck in walls or so stupid sometimes, but with the random generated maps they tried so hard, just that they didn't deliver sadly! :( ”

“A game supposed to be like Diablo. Classes and overall gameplay felt kinda random and unpolished. I liked the setting idea of a hell apocalypse in London. Didn't look all too demonish in-game, though.”
