Hellgate: London Gameplay

gHellgate: 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.

Melee classes default to a third-person view, whereas ranged classes default to a first-person view. 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, most are exclusive to the Hunter faction. 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 five acts to unify the areas a player travels through

on a greater scale. All acts account for approximately 40 hours of single-player gameplay.

The game world of Hellgate: London is a set of demon-infested dungeons and city streets, featuring safe zones such as disused

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, St. Paul's Cathedral was

featured in an early concept art drawing. Another building that has been brought up in an interview is the Clock Tower which houses

Big Ben.[citation needed]
