The Stonehenge patch for Hellgate: London, possibly the content that will bring salvation to Flagship Studios, who has made significant updates to the game that originally got mediocre reviews. The Stonehenge addition might be what the game needs to regain positive opinions of action RPG gamers. This preview is made by the Korean distributor Hanbitsoft.
IGN : Remember Hellgate: London? The dark fantasy action role-playing game came out in 2007 for PC, a year before developer Flagship Studios went bankrupt. Since then, various free-to-play and online revivals have come and gone. Now, 17 years after the release of Hellgate: London, it’s back.
I remember some friends and I all bought Hellgate: London day one because it was made by some original Diablo devs. We had fun playing it, good memories.
PC Invasion: Hellgate: London is back on Steam, but it's not what you expect it to be. It's a single-player game in the vein of Asian MMOs.
Let's take a look at the loot-based shooter that started it all and set the path for Destiny 2 and the Borderlands franchise.
It's a shame Hellgate: London did so poorly. It was an interesting game, and well worth a sequel.
The question is... Is there any salvation to be had? =)
I think they might be able to gain some players as they improve and add, but it sucks SO hard that Bill Roper and the boys had to screw up the release of their first game by releasing too early.
Oh well, perhaps they survive to have a new try. The game hasn't been released in Korea yet, and by the time it is, it will work as intended.
