An arcade RPG clone of "Gauntlet Dark Legacy."

BS is no gem, mind you, but it is strangely addicting, as these games tend to be when the mood strikes. [June 2003, p.57]

Only two kinds of gamers would appreciate this title: beginners and those looking for an easy hack-and-slash party game.

It's the same as "Gauntlet: Dark Legacy." And by "the same," we mean "virtually identical." [Jan 2003, p.92]

It's definitely more fun with your friends, but in the same way that eating broccoli with a saltine is better than eating the green alone.

Playing this game alone borders on punishment, so I stress the point that if you are a loser and do not have any friends; please steer clear of Blackstone and all its unholiness.

Yes there is some fun to be had but you’ll get bored long before you unlock all the characters or see the final 26th level.

A good-looking but brain-dead, thumb-numbing game.

Unlike "Gauntlet," Black Stone is so poorly executed, that it is absolutely no fun to play. [Feb 2003, p.104]

Gamer's Pulse
It baffles me how a game like this could be made. I cannot fathom why, during the development process, someone did not just say, “Enough is enough,” and scrap the project entirely.

Seems to have sprung up from the sharp minds of bored high school students who probably spent too much time playing "Gauntlet." [Winter 2002, p.109]

GameSpot
Like a botched cloning experiment from a B movie, with developer Xpec Entertainment playing the mad scientist's role and Gauntlet playing the test subject. The beast that's emerged from the cloning chamber is just what you'd expect: a shambling, ugly, and dumb version of the source material.
