Hellgate: London Preview

The guys at Hooked Gamers have put together a two-page preview of Flagship Studios’ upcoming action RPG, Hellgate: London. A bit of what they had to say about the game:

So far, the only multiplayer mode that is certain to make an appearance in the game is co-op. You can team up with your friends and go demon slaying together in the same fashion as Diablo. The game adjusts itself based on the size and level of your party, offering a fitting challenge every time you start a new game. Other multiplayer modes are being considered but nothing is definite yet.

Chances are that none of your fellow adventurers will have weapons and armor quite like yours. Weapons can be modified with all kinds of items to enhance or alter their effectiveness. Some modifications will increase the power, others will add another ‘type’ of damage so that you can affect a wider range of enemies. The cool thing about these mods is that they will not only change the way the weapons work, they will change the way they look, and even produce different effects. Picture adding a spectral damage mod to an electrical damage weapon and suddenly it pumps out a two colored ray instead of its original one colored one.
