Gauntlet Dark Legacy Game Sample - GameCube
0Original Air Date: January 14th, 2010
Gauntlet Dark Legacy is the follow-up to Gauntlet Legends and is an "okay" single-player experience, but a very fun multiplayer game with arcade action and some RPG elements blended almost seamlessly. It's one of many games within the long running "Gauntlet" series and, while modernized to a fair extent, hasn't changed too much since the days of classic Gauntlet.
Your job is to defeat the evil demon Skorne, a demon who was released into the world by a stupid evil mage known as Garm by using powerful runestones. Skorne repayed Garm for his kindness by killing him and imprisoning his soul in the underworld, and now he's going to kill everyone else if you don't choose a brave hero and stop him. You will meet Garm, but it's not in the way you'd think.
The game has many characters to choose from with different strengths and weaknesses, lots of items you can collect, stats to upgrade, up to four players can play, team attacks and special attacks, secrets to be had, Robotron action, "The Voice", and more. The graphics don't look much better than some late N64 titles, but there is a lot of good color usage and the game runs pretty smoothly when you're not in the tower oddly enough. The music is also adequate, but you probably won't pay it much attention while you bash minions with infinite melee weapons and projectiles. It was originally in arcades and ported to the Cube, PS2 and Xbox. Enjoy.
