Overview
Description

Choose from Warrior, Wizard, Valkyrie or Elf and battle through top‑down maze levels filled with ghosts, demons and the dreaded Death.

Gauntlet brings back the iconic 4‑player co‑op action of the original arcade, letting you and friends choose from Warrior, Valkyrie, Elf, or Wizard to battle endless monster hordes in a fantasy dungeon. Levels blend handcrafted design with random generation, offering fresh challenges and treasure hunts each run. Play locally or online, solo or with a party, and experience fast‑paced hack‑and‑slash combat while navigating traps set by the evil wizard Morak. The game delivers a nostalgic yet fresh experience for fans of arcade‑style RPG action.
