Gauntlet: Slayer Edition Review
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Multiplayer isn't limited to pre-formed parties
Gauntlet has online lobbies for you to find your perfect party if you're an adventurer or two short.
Pro Unlimited playability
There's 3 difficulties. Easy, Normal, and Hell. Easy would be for the ultra-casual player, or perhaps a player that hasn't played something similar before. Normal is where you'll find most people, as it's challenging but not overly so. Hell mode is one you don't take too lightly, it's pretty ridiculously hard. On top of that, Gauntlet gets harder and harder every time you clear a map. You can play over 40 hours and still enjoy yourself.
Pro Fast-paced and action packed
It's a Gauntlet game. You go fast, you slaughter tons of enemies, and have to deal with the dangers of the opposing forces. There's environment effects, magic to watch out for, and loot to horde.
Pro Not your typical hack and slash game
In Gauntlet, there are horrendous traps, hard boss fights, and even your own allies can pose a threat to you. It takes away from the mindless grinding
Pro Great on a budget
Gauntlet is regularly on sale for as little as $5 on Steam. If you must have it now it'll cost you $20, but if you buy the 4 pack you'll save $20 that way.
Cons
Con No true end-game
There's no overlying goal to the game other than completing the story, which is short. This is a game you get so you can go wreck people with some buddies, and let everything else fall to the wayside.
Con It can be a little grindy
Like most ARPGs, grinding for achievements can be get annoying. Luckily, achievements aren't why most people play ARPGs.
