About
The classic Gauntlet 4-player co-op action gameplay returns in a completely new experience! Play as one of four distinct heroes in an intense monster filled dungeon brawler with a combination of both uniquely built and randomly generated levels to explore. Battle the endless hordes of foes as you and your friends fight for treasure and glory via both local and online co-op multiplayer. Invade the Darkness!
Classic dungeon crawling action is melded with innovative new features for the ultimate Gauntlet challenge.
Explore on your own if you dare or play with friends in 4-player same-screen and online co-op. Your friends can become foes as you compete to see who can claim the most kills and the most gold.
Gauntlet’s four classic characters: Warrior, Valkyrie, Elf, and Wizard return but with more distinctive play styles and their own unique skills.
Players can scour the dungeons for gold and loot to unlock mystical Relics that grant the holder deadly new abilities. But beware – if used incorrectly they can be detrimental to your party’s health!
Fiendish traps, monstrous hordes, epic bosses and even your own friends will cause you to die in confounding and extraordinary ways.

"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

I bought this to bring another great classic game into my steam library. I've played gauntlet since the arcade days and will buy and play ever iteration that comes out because it is THAT much fun! I'll never forget alll the hours I dropped playing Gauntlet Dark Legacy on GC and I was so excited to bring the magic home! That was truly the sweet spot in making a long progression based RPG and definitely my favorite in the series. Meanwhile Gauntlet Slayer Edition is a fantastic reminder of the relic arcade system with shorter runs for busier schedules. This is all the fun of the arcade, no roll of quarters required. You can get this on sale with your friends and won't be sorry.
As one who played the original Gauntlet at the arcades and bought it as soon as it was released on the first generation Nintendo console, I can confidently say this is a faithful iteration of the classic Gauntlet game. Most of the core elements that made Gauntlet special are here but presented in an updated style with better graphics and a few different mechanics thrown in to make the game feel revitalized. In some ways, the game is possibly too similar to the original for its own good as the simplicity and repetitive nature of the gameplay will not necessarily appeal to the preferences and expectations of modern day gamers. Even for me, nostalgia could not sustain my interest in this game for more than several hours, just long enough to complete the campaign which was surprisingly short. A few deviations from the original game that were to the detriment of this version included reducing the spawn rate and number of enemies, and making the game feel too linear. I have no regrets spending my money and time with this version of Gauntlet, but I would recommend getting it on sale and keeping your expectations in check.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
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. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

I like this game! Yes, its pretty old game, but still fun to play. Easy to understand the mechanics of the game. Playing with a friend with most times its just us, while running on endless mode but always made sure the party in on public so others can join us, just to carry us. 😂😂😂 My first time playing such game, still gets confused on which is which my hero is. Thinking I was already with the team yet I was stucked and being left behind. Sometimes the animation effects on the enemies are slow which causes me to die or maybe thats on me for being noob 😂😂😂 Well, ill take this opportunity to recruit players to play with us, to carry us to finish the campaign and endless mode. 🤣
fun game but not as fun as the Dark Legacy
Um verdadeiro clássico. Muito divertido e dinâmico e a 'briga' pelo ouro é sempre engraçada, principalmente entre 4 jogadores. Recomendo muito, principalmente em promoções. Vale cada centavo!
Gauntlet is a good revitalization of a long-dead IP. I played the original arcade version on my GBA ages ago. This is definitely a nice modernized version of it! The graphics are good, the characters are extremely unique and fun to try out, the gameplay loop keeps things engaging all the way thru. There is some things I didn't like about it, namely: 1. The fact there's no tutorial whatsovever. You get dropped in the game and the best you're gonna get is a "how to play" button on the pause screen that will show a couple pictures and extremely short details on what things a character can do. 2. The "Death" levels, altho a fun idea, were more annoying than anything. He spawns way too often, then noises are annoying and it's just not an enjoyable hurdle to play with. 3. The boss fights are more a test of patience than of skill. They are also all the same. Boss is invulnerable while you fight mobs, becomes vulnerable for a short term until the boss hits it's next HP bracket, then becomes invulnerable again and you fight more adds. The first boss atleast added a sort of "puzzle" mechanic to it, but still. Out of the entire game, they were the least fun things to deal with. Overall though, I recommend it. It's pretty short. Probably around 4ish hours to complete the campaign. If you're into twin-stick gameplay, you'd definitely enjoy it.
Still a fun game to play all these years later. I do however wish the developer or some other one decides to step in and update this with new stages.
Great throwback game. I remember the game being more arcade like, being able to turn into a chicken and silly stuff like that. But this is more of just a simple dungeon crawler. The game still holds up but I wish there was more to explore and unlock. The wizard character is one of the most interesting concepts I've seen in a dungeon crawler, and for that reason is way too complicated for me to play. Still having this game for $20 is a little steep.

Joguei muito os predecessores de Gauntlet no fliperama e no PlayStation 1. Lembro de ter gostado demais deste em questão, porém, por algum motivo que não sei explicar, ele acabou pegando poeira, esquecido na minha biblioteca. Passeando pelos meus jogos, encontrei essa pérola. Baixei despretensiosamente e tive uma grata surpresa — tipo achar cem reais nas juntas do sofá. O jogo é gostoso demais e me faz voltar 25 anos no passado. Trata-se de um dungeon crawler com action RPG muito divertido, que possui um modo campanha, mas brilha mesmo no modo endless, onde você vai descendo a masmorra até onde aguentar. Apesar de ter mais de 10 anos, ainda vale muito a pena!
