- With its simple, streamlined controls and the compatibility with SteamOS, 'Gauntlet' is clearly nostalgic for the living room-centric gaming of the early 90s. And it succeeds. - Tom's Guide

Critics reviews
Game Informer
7/10
A retro-restoration that's fun with friends for a while, but the repetitive levels and a lack of any relevant progression set the stage for a mundane mix.

3.5/5 stars
Arrowhead made a very true-to-source Gauntlet game, no doubt, but the source is 30 years old, and could use some modern accouterments. Gauntlet is as much fun as it has ever been, but it'll get old fast for those who still remember slogging through the original.

90/100
Few games can come close to creating the same mayhem and excitement as Gauntlet can. While not the game for a lone wolf, Gauntlet is all about friends competing for gold and shooting each others' food. From the new hero designs to the variety of enemies and snarky humor, this is one that co-op fanatics won't want to miss.

A classic reborn...again!
Gauntlet, the grand-daddy of dungeon crawlers will always be a favorite of mine, and this remake really captures the fun and exciting gameplay that long time fans of the franchise know and love.

A reboot that did it WRONG!
While I praise the "Gauntlet" reboot for decent graphics, likable characters, and a GREAT sense of humor, I feel that if they did a movie based on the game? It would actually be BETTER than this video game! Why? First of all, the gameplay is very much imbalanced; it's quite unforgiving, compared to most action RPGs, (even on the "easy" difficulty) Second, it feels that compared to the "warrior" class, that ALL other classes, are obsolete! Third, the gameplay is NOTHING like the other "Gauntlet" games, that we've grown up with; making this game feel rather hypocritical, as far as gameplay goes! In the end? THIS is not worth your money...instead, you're better off spending your money on "Hammerwatch", or it's sequel, "Heroes of Hammerwatch"! Or even "Diablo III", for that matter! Because honestly? This is a game that is best left NEVER bought! (Except with physical copies kept, STRICTLY as collectors' items...that is all!)
