Soon you're feeling the consequences bloated and dreary eyed you pay your bill and move on. You get there and just gorge yourself on everything. The problem here is that once the arcade element of popping quarters or fearing a limit is gone, the lack of gameplay depth becomes instantly apparent.
Gather four of your friends up and just go all-out without the worry of spending money, right? Gauntlet: Dark Legacy is meant to bring all that great quarter-popping action of the arcades to your fingertips at home. Midway obviously wasn't trying to fool anybody into thinking that Gauntlet is suddenly a deep action RPG, but therein lies the problem. It's extremely shallow and can become daunting and boring quite quickly because of that. This is pretty much all there is to Gauntlet: Dark Legacy, unfortunately. You'll even be required to cast a spell or two now and then. There are a few puzzles thrown in for good measure and even larger, mini-boss and boss type characters to keep you on your toes.
Enemies will relentlessly flow from nearby spawning points, which give you and your friends plenty to hack at. Once you've got all that sorted out you can jump right into the action in the first level. They're all balanced pretty fairly, drawing on strength, armor, magic, and speed, so you can come up with good teams if playing with friends. All of them can be customized according to color to make it a little easier to identify one player from another. You begin by choosing your character type: wizard, knight, dwarf, archer, wizard, jester, sorceress, or valkyrie. It's a simple setup where you and up to three friends can get together for some button-mashing. Gameplay Gauntlet is a self-proclaimed hack-and-slash.
The latest iteration of one of the most popular multi-player arcade games has now landed on Nintendo GameCube.
