SO...I loved Gauntlet in the arcades. I have been trying to find a good modern rendition of the game. Sadly all the official Gauntlet releases have been rather disappointing. Then I found Pixel Descent. Weird way to put it maybe but this game scratches all the itches I had for Gauntlet...and even showed me a few itchy spots I didn't even know about. ;P Point is...VERY good game in the Gauntlet style of play...but modern and good.
A really fun little game! Kinda like Gauntlet with features. Plenty of characters to unlock and the finite but randomly selected levels keep things pretty fresh, lots of permutations of those characters and upgrades and artifacts... I guess the only thing I could want is a randomly generated Daily Dungeon or Endless Mode or something just for kicks. Once you've unlocked everything (which, with the Priest, isn't TOO hard but challenging enough) there's not a whole lot to do. Either way? 8 or 9 outta 10. Really liked it.
As advertised, mildly positive, but it gets pretty repetitive. Enemies are all about the same, just with different stats, some slightly faster or slower, some with different shots, but they all move and shoot in exactly the same way. Final boss is much different, but not all that fun for me.
All the simple dodge and fire game play of Gauntlet along with incremental permanent upgrades. A lot of fun and a bargain whether on sale or not.
Perfect for folks like me, who can always use a little more Gauntlet in our lives
It's a simple, addictive action roguelike at best. It's not everyone's taste, and I'm still getting the hang of it. It's difficult, and usually I hate difficult games. The last difficult game I played to death was Atomicrops (90 hours on another account and still in year 3!). The dev still happily updates the game, even after leaving early access, which is very rare. Hopefully, after 95 minutes of playing, I can pass level 2.
awesome
