Gauntlet
Gauntlet delivers a fun and challenging dungeon crawling experience that manages to avoid repetitiveness. Although it has some minor launch bugs to work through, they are easily overlooked. The best way to think of the Gauntlet series before this reboot was as an old muscle car.

Gauntlet! Possibly the most iconic videogame of all time (or at least, the most quoted one) received a new installment earlier this year. It's only available for PC and considering I haven't heard any news concerning a console release, chances of seeing...

I have played my fair share of Gauntlet games in my day. Originally in the arcades, every death meant I had to pump more quarters into the machine. Now, with the series hitting multiple consoles spanning different generations, Gauntlet is back after a...

In some sense, the world already has a series that carries on the Gauntlet legacy; it's called Diablo , and clearly, it's done all right for itself over the years. That said, while Diablo is accessible, it's not the kind of game you'd have found...

In truth, I'd argue that part of the reason Gauntlet's so fondly remembered after all these years is precisely because you can shoot the food - and because this arcade classic hinges on one of the darkest insights into human psychology that you're likely...

l I feel the game was fun for the mindless, button mashing, hack and slash good times that some gamers like to have, just not alone. The omission of health potions was a let down and some of the levels felts like they dragged on so to get the most out...

Before the Internet (gasp!) people had to actually be in the same room to play video games with one another. It seems hard to believe now, but it's true. Gauntlet is a relic of that time, but it's also proof that the past is alive and well. There's...

The new Gauntlet takes the best elements of cooperative hack n' slash games from the golden age of arcades and updates them for modern players. Grab some weapons and a bunch of friends, because we're going dungeon-crawling.IMAGINE four mighty heroes at...

Die Dungeons sind einladend, die vier Charaktere spielen sich sehr unterschiedlich, und die vier Schwierigkeitsgrade fordern euch heraus. Wenn ihr euch auf Gauntlet einlasst, bekommt ihr ein liebevoll gemachtes Remake eines alten Klassikers, das euch...

Gauntlet can't quite strike the balance between the nostalgic arcade experience and a modern-day replay-friendly adventure. It's cool that there's such a varied experience amongst the iconic quartet of heroes, and four-player co-op is almost always fun...
