Hellgate: London

Summary

Hellgate: London merges the strategic depth of role-playing games with the fast-paced action of first-person shooters, delivering endless replayability through procedurally generated levels, items, and events. Players design their own hero, embark on quests, and fight through countless waves of demons to earn experience, level up, and explore diverse skill progression routes. A versatile skill and magic system, along with customizable appearances and a vast array of randomly generated gear, empower players to craft a truly one-of-a-kind character.

Storyline

Hellgate: London is set in 2038, 18 years after the outbreak of a devastating war: London has been overrun by demons from Hell. These relentless hellspawn have long sought a way to breach our world. Until recently, humanity had many defenders striving to keep the invasion at bay. The background of the Hellgate narrative weaves in real-world events as thwarted attempts at crossovers. The Crusades were actually waged to repel Hell’s forces, as was the burning of London during the Great Fire to eradicate a demonic plague. According to the game’s lore, the legendary Knights Templar were the guardians of the knowledge needed to combat these infernal threats. Tragically, these heroes suffered their own destruction at the hands of the power-hungry King Phillip IV, who resented their global influence. Though the Knights Templar endured as an order, their ranks were drastically reduced and they were forced into secrecy to survive.
