Gauntlet on steam, I played this game for 4 hours along with my wife and kid.
the game offers a lot to be honest, I heard it was botched but I think people just expected a tad more since it is a classic and WB was Publishing it.
I mean it was Gauntlet!
Impression : the game has different classes, each class offers different way of playing, kinda customizable buying items using the money you find in the game and you can not select the gender of the character you play as, Barbarian is Male, Thyra the Valkyrie is Female and that is what she is, basically the Old school way of characters, how the Old Gauntlet establishes its characters.
with the addition of Necromancer Lilith as a DLC.
one character struck me hard was the Wizard, his game play was very interesting and unique from all characters that he feels like he dropped from a different game, I never played as a Wizard in the Classic Gauntlet but I am sure he just plays different in here, if I am wrong please do correct me!
he has 3 sets of spells ( Fire, Ice, lightening ) which are assigned to each button, Y,X and B
if you double tap one of those buttons he will activate the pure spell and you use the second analog to aim and shoot, the cool thing is that you can mix those spells, if you do not double tap and lets say you select B and X and you will get a lightening bolt that travel through enemies, if you select Y and B you will get and explosive fire bomb that can shatter coming horde of enemies, and it goes on, he has strategic value but you really! got! to! learn! those! SPELLS! and their INPUT! cause if you don't a single mistake can cause you your life cause enemies are merciless.
not too far into the game but it is a fun co-op and if it goes 4 players I am sure it will be 4 times the fun! for the price discount and even the price without it 10$ is a fair price for this game, fun party game for sure!
I hope Gauntlet Legends will be ported to PC one day.
