No epic story !

User Rating: 6 | Hellgate: London PC
By limraz | Review Date:
Hellgate London was designed for a multiplayer, FPS experience. There is no in-game save, pause, character depth/background and epic story. You can`t put me in the fight with Sydonai/Asmodeus and his legions and throw a bland main story to boot the game.
Like in every other games, there are, of course, good points and bad choices.

Good :
- furious battles with sometimes 30 - 40 enemies
- easy weapon/armor/gun customization and upgrade
- hard difficulty
- great game for marksmen class

Bad:
- framerate drops while cleaning area with to many enemies
- crappy armor from looting/crafting
- dull quests
- guardian and blademaster, to name just two classes, need more polishing and acces to gun skill trees.
- aura`s don`t work properly when you get surrounded/shoot by many enemies who`s high damage seem to breack the game mechanics

This is a game of patience and after a while I just keep up only to beat the final boss. With more skills or a choice to use skill trees from other classes, plus a reshaped main story, could be good.
