Gauntlet Review
Gauntlet pays faithful homage to the '85 original, but doesn’t bring the replay value expected in the post-coin-op era.

While this game is a blast to play on the PC, this a co-op/party title and not many PC gamers have moved their computers or have a second computer that is accessible to everyone or in their living room for everyone else to play with them. This title cries “let’s play” and would be right at home on a console, regardless if it’s a past-generation or current generation title. That said, Arrowhead has gone on record and stated that there are no plans to bring this title to the consoles, a real shame. That said you can’t go wrong with Gauntlet and while it is a bit short, it is a fun game especially when you’re playing with others. The title is solid and I highly recommend it and a few friends to slash the night away.

As gamers, we’ve certainly become a lot more demanding for original and varied content across the stretch of a game, and while repetition and score-beating held up well 30 years ago, it’s not the case anymore. For series fans looking for a temporary time machine this’ll do the trick, for most other gamers, it’s a simple reminder of gaming’s brilliant, but dated, past.
