“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.…”

“What's not to love about a simple hack and slash. Had plenty of fun with it in coop. Well worth it for £5 if you have a few friends to join.”
“I was happy to discover one of the Gauntlet titles make it to Steam. This feels a bit too MOBA-y for a Gauntlet game, but it's still fun to grab a few friends to smash some spawners.”

“Awesome gameplay! Unbeatable graphics at 2020! Superb way of presenting a game to the private game player!”
“[h1] Fun for parties and solo[/h1] The aesthetic and the vibe is on point. The music is ass (turned it off and put MagicMan instead). The story was mid too. It's all about the gameplay and vibes. 7 Hype moments and aura…”

“Gauntlet is a fun diablo 1 style game. Its really fun to play with an Xbox controller. You are just running around hacking up monsters, collecting treasure and keys. There isn't much depth to it. Just hack and slash.…”
“I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of polish this game has. It really feels like the developers were passionate about the project. Every unlockable has it's own unique bit of flavor text. Combat system is smooth…”

“Simple game, simple premise, easy replayability, but don't expect a masterpiece”
“Really enjoyed this with my wife and kid as a couch co-op! My wife and I in particular enjoyed the harder difficulties and the endless mode.”

“In name only. Boring generic mashup of others games not remotely OG Gauntlet. Anyone responsible for making this garbage should be left without food.”

“I loved gauntlet legends as a kid, and this game is just alright. Definitely lacks the content and customization that previous gauntlet titles have. So buy it on sale, I got my copy for like $3. Still a fun drinking…”
“Its gauntlet. Graphics are ok, should run on low end computers. Some of the achievements are grindy but theres not really graphic issues or bugs so i dont really have anything to pick on. Its cool if you like gauntlet…”
“Plays like a simplified Diablo, which isn't a bad thing for those of us who hate inventory management. Sadly it's very samey. Every stage is a concrete temple full of bland mobs, including the abruptly ending final…”

“Game would be half playable if it had a dodge mechanic, even on normal mode you're dead in about 3-4 hits”
“This game is garbage in my opinion. The easy difficulty isn't Really easy at all. if you've come from Gauntlet legends or Gauntlet Dark legacy, you might be used to having health to spare. but no. not this time! I…”
“Fun modernized version of Gauntlet. Also tough as nails.”

“It's a fun game, great coop, but very short. It's worth if it you can catch the game on sale!”
“no nostalgia, no content, an absolute waste of time and resources. As someone whos spent more sun up to sundown days playing this in the arcade with friends and my stepdad, it was more an insult than anything to play.…”
