Great single player experience
I recently played for the first time this game, completed the offline campaign as a Valkyrie and had a great fun doing so. Here is the playlist of the stream, stream was done on Twitch, playlist is on Youtube. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtpqh8ebqvxd58U2BPKvdplEGMuP4dyUa I was NEVER a fan of the old Gauntlet games. I found them just a sucker's game to feed more coins to it and even the home ports I found lacking in the fun factor. Mind you I am referring exclusively to single player experience. I read reviews of this game and found the reviews so off putting that I avoided buying and playing this game for years. Only a couple of weeks I made the jump and decided to play the game for my twitch channel and get something out of the money I paid for it. For me it is 100% worth the money. Even more so of course if you buy it on sale. It's a Diablo light game so if you like dungeon crawling in a Diablo themed game, this is for you. There are multiplayer options but I never touched them as I don't care for that. There are three I believe ways of playing the game single player, I played it with the campaign/story mode. Basically you play single levels, with some branching for extra side levels, during which you destroy your enemies and collect treasure. Treasure which can be used to buy different weapons and "spells" which are not better one than the other, just different way of playing. The extra armor, helmet, cape are just cosmetic. If you want to keep buying more powerful weapons, this is not for you. I tried all different weapon/spell combinations for my character, I liked one in particular for most, but still ended up defeating the final boss with the original weapon you start the game. Take it as you wish. I liked it. I played with mouse & kb control and while it took a while to get used to it, by the end I was fine. There is gamepad control too, but didn't try it. Each lvl can take from 3 to 15min not including restarts. Great game.
Is this helpful to you?
