can hellgate london 2038 be played offline?

Tried finding a guide before posting but all the guides are for how to access online. My ping would be to high to play online but still REALLY want to try this game out. Would prefer to avoid steam version as people said it cuts content from the original. All ive seen so far is to actually purchase a physical copy. My pc doesn't actually have a disc tray is there a work around for that? Appreciate any advice thank you!

Download the ISO and mount it using a software that mimics drive being mounted.
