Item Description

Gauntlet Dark Legacy brought one of the best-loved arcade dungeon crawls of its era home to the PlayStation 2. Developed by Midway Games West and published by Midway, it hit arcades in 2000 and the PS2 in May 2001 as an expansion of 1998's Gauntlet Legends, adding new levels, four new character classes, new items and combat abilities, and a larger set of secret characters. Eight worlds are open from the start, reached through the wizard Sumner's tower, with three more waiting beyond them, and there is enough loot and secrets to make a Saturday afternoon disappear, whether solo or with up to four players together with a multitap.

The roster pairs eight classes with alternate forms: the Warrior, Valkyrie, Wizard and Archer alongside the newcomers Knight, Sorceress, Dwarf and Jester, and a host of secret characters, some unlocked through play and others by code, reward dedicated players. Each level pulses with that satisfying loop of smashing through hordes, scooping up gold and food, and racing to find the exit before your health ticks away, and two adjacent players can team up for a combined turbo attack.

The Dark Legacy name is earned, too. The demon Skorne has broken free of the mage Garm, scattered the Runestones across the realms and shattered the window to the Desecrated Temple, and collecting the Runestones opens the portals to the later worlds. Beneath the hack-and-slash surface sit more mechanics than first appear, from character leveling, with each class pair gaining special potion powers at levels 25 and 50, to the hunt for hidden characters. It is a game made for anyone who grew up feeding quarters into the arcade cabinet and wants that experience on home hardware.

About the game

Gauntlet Dark Legacy is the follow-up to Gauntlet Legends and another installment in the long-running Gauntlet series of hack-and-slash action games. As with all the Gauntlet games, you play a medieval fantasy character who, along with allies if you have them, fights his or her way through hordes of evil creatures on the never ending quest for more gold and perhaps even an eventual goal. This version contains the characters and levels from Gauntlet Legends, plus the new characters and levels from the Dark Legacy arcade game, with a few extra levels thrown in. There are eight characters to initially choose from: the mighty Warrior, the deadly Valkyrie, the quick-footed Archer, the powerful Wizard, the spellcasting Sorceress, the stalwart Knight, the valiant Dwarf, and the chaotic Jester. Although there are similarities between characters from the two games, each character looks and plays differently. In addition, there are eight alternative-modes for these characters to unlock, plus dozens of secret characters to obtain. With a multi-tap, up to four players can play, with rules governing how much they can hurt each other.
