Hellgate: London 2007

Is it still worth playing?

A fast paced action role-playing hack and slash game set in a post apocalyptic London in 2038, from Flagship Studios, released on October 31, 2007. A team led by former Blizzard employees who oversaw the creation of Diablo made it. It builds on the roguelike idea of random generation, so maps, monsters, loot, weapon and armor attributes and level layout all vary. You can play in third or first person view, offline or online without a fee. When you finish the single player story, you can restart it on a higher difficulty and create new characters in an elite mode. The studio went bankrupt in 2008, and a free to play version was later developed in South Korea. There are six classes, from the melee Blademaster to the Summoner who controls infernals, and weapons take mods that change their stats and look. A random city to hack through still makes each run a different London.
