As a young hero of one of the many realms in the Gauntlet universe, you've been called upon by the wizard Sumner to save your land, and countless others. The demon Skorne, previously bound in the underworld, has been released by the actions of the foolish Garm, a former student of Sumner. Wielding massive power, Skorne scattered the thirteen runestones, ancient artifacts that kept the demon imprisoned.
Biding his time in a well-defended fortress, Skorne has sown chaos and discord through all the realms, leaving behind powerful monsters to control each land in his stead. Only by defeating Skorne's warriors can you have any hope of breaching the walls of Skorne's prison, and only with the thirteen runestones can you banish him back to the Underworld where he belongs. Aiding you on this quest are the mighty Warrior, trusted Wizard, fierce Valkyrie, and even more characters, waiting to wage battle.
Special crystals and other items unlock the path to each realm, and in each realm await one of Skorne's warriors, guarding a key to the fortress.
Taking advantage of the four controller ports on the Gamecube, Dark Legacy lets you play along with three friends, a definite must for party games like this one.
You've got a character with four stats, Magic, Armor, Speed, and Strength, all of which go into determining how well you kick ass. Every character has a different spread of stats, and among the eight starting characters, there's a lot of variety. Later on, you'll be able to unlock secret characters by participating in bonus levels, each of which has better statistics than the normal character that you can play.
For example, the Jackal is a more powerful version of the Wizard, having higher initial stats. Each character only has a few different actions they can perform, but hey, what did you want? This is an arcade game after all. The light attack is quick, but lacks power, while the heavy attack is slow, but very powerful.
The turbo attack lets you charge up a certain amount of energy, and then release it, either as a rather powerful strike that hits a wide range of opponents, or the max charge that destroys almost everything on the screen.
All of the characters can attack at range, although some are obviously better than others, and in hand to hand, a combination of the light and heavy attacks can unleash a wicked combo great for destroying hordes of enemies.
Magic potions are indispensable tools that can explode, damaging enemies around your character, create a magical barrier that also damages enemies, or also serve as an improvised grenade. Not to mention, for those times when Death comes a knockin' as an eight foot tall bad guy that is , tossing a magic potion in his face is the only way to get rid of him. If that isn't enough, you control your character with the analog stick, and can occasionally burst into song' I mean a run, smacking through enemies left and right.
Items are another interesting part of the game. Three-way shot, power shot, growth, invisibility, anti-death field are all special items you can pick up or purchase in between levels at the handy store to boost your combat ability. As you cut a swath through the opposition, you'll collect gold to purchase these items with, as well as experience to raise your level, boosting your statistics. Each level is a combination of mantraps, unusual geometry, and monsters. Lots and lots of monsters.
Gauntlet: Dark Legacy stays in keeping with the Gauntlet tradition and gives you lots of monster generators, each spewing out the little annoyances at a steady rate. Generals and Lieutenants are tougher monsters that require lots of hits, but only show up rarely, often bearing great treasure or keys to unlock later levels if you defeat them. Each of the levels is themed to its realm, and each realm contains five different levels.
With areas like the air realms, with floating platforms and lots of poison, or the castle stages, every part of the game has a unique look, with a unifying theme of massive, bloody combat. If you manage to make it to the end of the levels, the Realm guardian will await your challenge. Significantly difficult to beat monsters, the guardians are the beings protecting the keys to Skorne's fortress.
Defeat them all, and you'll be able to face Skorne himself. Don't worry about how strong they are, as you can find special items throughout the game that'll let you take them down a notch, making them much easier to beat. Once you've collected all the items, crystals, icons, and keys not to mention the runestones that are hidden in various stages , you'll be able to get near the end of the game and open up the last few secret levels.
While not particularly difficult, Gauntlet deserves special mention for the sheer amount of time it takes to go through the game, as a significant part of it requires playing a few levels over and over again, just for the experience. It can be tedious, but when you're playing with friends, it can be a rewarding few hours of gameplay.
The graphics in Gauntlet are flashy, but not what I'd call particularly impressive. As a cute little arcade number, it does well with the bright colors and overall lack of shadows and lighting effects, and manages to give you something nice to look at in each level.
If anything, its greatest flaw is that, much like the PS2 version, the camera is occasionally constricting, and can be a hassle to maneuver. Listening to that Gauntlet narrator is just too cool. Other than that, don't worry about the sound.
Play a CD, listen to someone cook, whatever'just don't rely on the auditory part of this game. It isn't really there, but it isn't really important.
