Elf needs food badly!
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announces they've thrown down the
gauntlet with the release of
Gauntlet,
a remake of the arcade classic for Windows PCs. Here's word:
“This new
digital version of Gauntlet innovates on past titles while staying true to the
brand’s legendary four-player format,” said David Haddad, Executive Vice
President, Publishing Operations, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
“Multiplayer gameplay is at the core of Gauntlet’s appeal and now gamers have
the option to play with friends and family locally and online.”
Players select from four classic fantasy-based characters: Warrior, Wizard,
Valkyrie, or Elf. Each character has its own distinctive play style and unique
strengths and weaknesses. Upon selecting a playable character, the gameplay is
set within dungeons where the object is to fight through the chambers slaying
evil creatures and completing challenges. An assortment of special items can be
located in each dungeon that can restore the player’s health, unlock doors, and
shift the odds in the player’s favor with magical relics which can aid the
player in surviving longer in the Gauntlet. The enemies are a vast assortment of
fantasy-based monsters, including ghosts, grunts, demons, spiders, sorcerers and
skeleton warriors.
Players can improve their heroes’ abilities and powers by unlocking achievements
called “perks.” Multiple difficulty settings add to the game’s
replayability.
