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. Melee
classes are set to a third-person view and cannot select first-person
perspective, whereas ranged classes default to a first-person view but
can switch to third-person if so 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. 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.
