Righteous heroes are sent to hell and -- hopefully -- back again, in Hellgate: London, a combat-heavy game with deep, RPG-style character development. From a perspective more common to 3D shooters, players guide supernatural savants and modern-day Knights Templar to battle against an eruption of demons into our realm, using swords, summoning, and spiritual fortitude, in the hope of keeping one small corner of Earth a safe shelter for humanity's continued existence.
