  • Summary: Gauntlet's hack-and-slash gameplay continues in Gauntlet: Dark Legacy. You and up to three of your friends must work as a team through eight dangerous worlds. As one of eight different characters, you'll vanquish creatures, evade traps, and search for treasure. Character-based power attacks, magic potions, new power-ups, and combination moves add to the mayhem. The game save system allows players to transfer evolving characters from their own machine to a friend's to take on the dungeon together.… Expand

    While the single-player game is fun, the multiplayer cooperative quests are where it really is entertaining.

    While Gauntlet: Dark Legacy is a decent enough game, its main saving grace is the four player co-op play, something of a rarity.

    If you've played this game before, there really is absolutely no reason to play it again. [July 2002, p.80]

    Less demanding gamers will get a kick out of its intuitive setup, but those in the hardcore bunch will tire of its simplicity promptly.

    It may just be a port of an old game, but the old game is pretty great. The only thing I don't like is how Midway seems to be milking the series without adding anything.… Expand
