Gauntlet Reinvention Goes Up For Pre-Order On Steam
May 22, 2014 by brennon
Gauntlet is going back down into the dungeon to slay beasts and it's already up on pre-order for Steam. Admittedly it might be a little too soon for us to be clicking 'buy' but hopefully upcoming gameplay will make it worth the wait...
I think one of the cooler additions to this pre-order package is the digital comic that comes with the pre-order. I can give or take some cosmetic (or indeed deadly in-game) weapons and armour but the fact you get a cool story to read through 'Darkness Calls' is a nice addition.
I am liking the dark fantasy art style and it reminds me a lot of HeroQuest in its look and feel. I think I'd have to choose Barbarian if I played the game, or wizened Wizard!
Will you be checking out more on this?
Interesting, Brennon, as I’d be less interested in a comic (which I would expect to have low art and story production values) and more interested in in-game bonuses like exclusive weapons, or better yet, classes. Different strokes for different folks.
I remember playing a Gauntlet clone on the Amiga back in the day called Garrison, which added a Dwarf player class.
“Warrior . . . needs food badly.”
“Elf . . . shot the food!”
*shudder* I still have nightmares.
I loved the old Arcade machine I frequented for Gauntlet Legends that was adapted for consoles. Brilliant fun and if this one is a mix between the classic and the Gauntlet Legends games this should be a gem.
Shame its Steam/PC though as it screams Console for the Couch Co-op
Ha ha….this takes me right back to rainy days camped round my spectrum 48k.
Rubber keyboard……….class!!
