Gauntlet: Slayer Edition

This game is a great modern retake on the classic that is the original Gauntlet. Every hero is fun to play and has several different styles of play. I have been coming back to this again and again over the years and always love my time with it. Definitely a strong recommend for those who love the top down perspective action dungeon crawlers. Plays really well with controller or keyboard controls. Two thumbs up from me!

Game is very fun, reminds me of the Playstation 2 version I played all night long with friends back in the day. Great to play with friends for Remote Play, as only one person needs to have the game!!!

Despite the flaws this game has, and the legacy it may or may not live up to depending on your history with the franchise, Gauntlet is still my favorite horde-slayer in 2025. I have nearly a thousand hours between Vermintide 2 and Darktide, and have greatly enjoyed time in Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop, Helldivers 2, GTFO, Magicka 1 & 2, and other games of their kind. I wouldn't say that Gauntlet is a better game than any of the others listed, but it is a good game, and one I personally strongly recommend. The vast majority of my time in the game was singleplayer, but any opportunity to play with friends is a welcome one.

This is an arpg with a capital A. It is ten years old but still has a dedicated community of players. Spme have over 12,000 hours in the game. It is difficult to unlock the 50th achievement solo, but the community is ready to assist.

100%-ing the game is very grindy unless you put 100 or so hours in the game anyway.

revisiting after years, I can confidently say it is 100x better. It's still not old glory Gauntlet Legends but atleast I can say it's a good tribute.

Pales in comparison to Gauntlet Legends or Dark Legacy back in the day but, for the budget this game was given, a damn fine adventure to coop with friends :)
