"This classic quarter-muncher consumed a lot of my own money during summers as a kid, so it's nice to see the fantasy gameplay live on this latest incarnation." - Fortune
"With its simple, streamlined controls and the compatibility with SteamOS, 'Gauntlet' is clearly nostalgic for the living room-centric gaming of the early 90s. And it succeeds." - Tom's Guide

Reviews
Not nearly as good as previous Gauntlet games. Very disappointed there were only 3 characters to select from. The little bit of story I played was marginal at best. Everything is watered down. I'll have to find a way to play dark legacy again to wash the taste out of my mouth.
An arcade classic that defined cooperative gaming for generations, [i][b]Gauntlet[/b][/i] evokes bittersweet memories for many with its pixelated sprites and relentless dungeon crawling. Fast forward to today, and the [i][b]Gauntlet[/b][/i] remake emerges as a title that not only pays homage to its roots but also breathes new life into the formula. This review explores the various facets of the game, from gameplay mechanics to the audio experience, ensuring that both veterans and newcomers can fully enjoy the nostalgic fun. [h3]GAMEPLAY MECHANICS[/h3] The [i][b]Gauntlet[/b][/i] offers gameplay mechanics that balance simplicity and depth, making it accessible to both newcomers and seasoned veterans. Players can choose from four iconic classes: the tanky Warrior, the spell-slinging Wizard, the agile Elf, and the fierce Valkyrie. Each character brings something unique to the table, not just in aesthetics but also in gameplay style and abilities. The controls are remarkably responsive, allowing players to navigate the chaotic environments with ease. The developers have built upon the classic formula by introducing an evolved loot system. Players collect potions and artifacts that may change the course of battle. Additionally, the environment features traps and destructible elements, adding a strategic layer to confrontations. Players may find themselves weighing the pros and cons of charging into a room filled with foes versus luring them into a convenient trap. [h3]VISUALS[/h3] Visually, the [i][b]Gauntlet[/b][/i] remake pays homage to its roots while embracing contemporary aesthetics. With a vibrant colour palette and intricate 3D modelling, the game brings it more to life in improved detail. Each dungeon is meticulously crafted with thematic visuals that contribute to the ambience and atmosphere of peril. The character designs are both familiar and revitalised, retaining the essence of the originals while being infused with charm. Special effects during combat are particularly noteworthy: magical spells ignite the screen while enemies disintegrate. [h3]AUDIO[/h3] Equally impressive is the audio design, which encapsulates the essence of a dungeon crawl. The soundtrack features orchestral themes punctuated by electronic beats, enhancing the adrenaline rush of battles. Sound effects resonate with nostalgia—a familiar grunt when an enemy is vanquished, the jingle of collected gold, and the echoing footsteps through the dungeon halls create a haunting atmosphere. Sound effects are crisp and impactful; the gratifying clinks and clatters of coins collected, the satisfying whoosh of spell-casting, and the echoing cries of defeated foes create a fully immersive environment. Moreover, the voice acting is surprisingly engaging; each character has quips and taunt emotes that not only provide comic relief but also build personality. The combination of immersive audio and visual elements draws you deeper into the world, making every encounter feel like an epic victory or a desperate struggle. [h3]MULTIPLAYER[/h3] As with any solid [i][b]Gauntlet[/b][/i] experience, multiplayer shines like a radiant beacon. Up to four players can join forces (or compete for loot) in local or online co-op modes. The chaotic nature of gameplay encourages communication and teamwork, which amplifies the fun. It’s a blast coordinating attacks, strategising over which characters should take on which enemies, and sharing a good laugh when a poorly timed spell leads to unexpected disaster. [h3]THE LOWDOWN[/h3] [i][b]Gauntlet[/b][/i] has strong gameplay mechanics, visuals, and thrilling multiplayer experiences. It's a delightful mix of nostalgia and modern gaming, providing a chaotic yet satisfying romp through dungeons filled with monsters and treasures. If you’re in search of a game that embodies camaraderie, strategy, and just the right amount of chaos, the [i][b]Gauntlet[/b][/i] remake invites you to plunge into its exciting depths. Gather your friends, select your hero, and get ready to embark on an adventure that honours both the classic and the contemporary. It's time to gear up and unleash your inner warrior!

The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 11: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game.

En una larga y épica noche, mis tres amigos y yo nos sumergimos en el universo de Gauntlet™ Slayer Edition, ese mundo oscuro y lleno de monstruos, trampas y secretos. La nostalgia nos invadía mientras nos adentramos en cada mazmorras, riendo y compartiendo momentos inolvidables, como si fuéramos los antiguos héroes de una leyenda olvidada. Las risas no tardaron en surgir, y es que, entre espadas, hechizos y flechas, la codicia de cada uno por conseguir más oro y poder nos unió en una batalla constante. ah re xD
Did the minimum job and campaign should've been longer. More customization and extra DLC expansions would've been nice as well. Nowhere near the level of Gauntlet Dark Legacy, but a decent game with good visuals, sound, voice acting, and dungeon design.
Short and simple. Nothing too deep or complicated, just Gauntlet. The characters all play differently and add a little variety. Fun with friends.
Should've been Gauntlet: Dark Legacy Gauntlet was never a good series, (except for Legends & Dark Legacy,) and this one is the worst
nice game! reminds me of the old arcade game except doesnt eat quarters anymore... just time! game can get pretty hard after a while but its till fun! be prepared to die... A LOT! in fact most of the games achievements revolve around how often you die! if you're thinking of picking this one up id recommend getting it when its on sale! i grabbed it for under $5 and i definateley think it was worth it!
Played the classic and older versions, this one is a [u]bit run down[/u] but is still great fun[b] WITH FRIENDS [/b]if you play this on your own you will be bored. I was lol! Get the 4 Pack and send it to your friends (haven't got any? friend me bro!) Childhood game: turned corporate but turned corporate before 2018 where microtransactions were rampant so it's still gr8 fun.
Right, so here's the thing about Gauntlet Slayer Edition. Everyone's banging on about how it's this modernized version of the arcade classic. They're all "Oh, look at the twin-stick shooting" and "Ooh, they've added MMO tactics" and "It's got RPG progression now." Yeah, brilliant. Well done. Golf clap. But here's what you really want to know - Is it actually Gauntlet? Is it REALLY Gauntlet? Let me tell you a story. 1985, right? Picture this - bunch of teenagers in an arcade, proper 80s stereotype stuff. You've got your preppie, your punk, your jock, and the girl. Bit like The Breakfast Club but with more quarters in their pockets. These kids had nothing in common except two things: video games and bloody Dungeons & Dragons. Proper nerds, right? So they're standing there in this arcade, probably smelling of teenage desperation and cheap deodorant, when they see this massive cabinet. Four players at once! Proper revolutionary stuff for the time. And without saying a word - which is a miracle for teenagers - they each pick their characters. The girl takes Warrior, punk goes Valkyrie, preppie chooses Elf, and the jock - in a twist worthy of M. Night Shyamalan - becomes the Wizard. Now, fast forward to present tense. The graphics are proper gorgeous now, controls are simple enough for a chimp to use, and there's special effects everywhere like Michael Bay got loose in the development studio. But it's got problems, right? The battles are harder than explaining science to flat-earthers. Some enemies are more overpowered than a politician's ego. The gold drops are rarer than common sense on social media, and the resources grinding? It's like trying to fill an Olympic swimming pool with a teaspoon. You've got maps darker than a basement at midnight, puzzles that would give Einstein a headache, and more traps than a reality TV show contract. The enemies keep spawning like it's a rabbit breeding program, and some of these instant-kill hazards are about as fair as a rigged election. But here's the thing - and this is important - when you get a group together, something magical happens. Despite all the fancy modern rubbish they've added, despite the grinding and the brutal difficulty and the darkness and all that... it still captures that same feeling from 1985. That same magic when four random people come together and just... play. So is it Gauntlet? Yeah, it bloody well is. It's Gauntlet with all its flaws and frustrations and moments of pure brilliance. And you know what? Just like that group of misfit teenagers in 1985, you'll probably end up playing it for hours, cursing every second, and loving every minute. But seriously, they could've added more gold drops. I'm not made of patience, am I?
A solid hack‑and‑slash that shines brightest with friends. The classes feel distinct, the action is punchy and the gold‑stealing rivalry is basically a sport. It does get repetitive after a while, but honestly, so do I. [b][7/10][/b]
