A smart mix of new, old and borrowed.
Like Get Medieval and MageSlayer, Hammerwatch is a rather Gauntlet-ish game. You play as either a Paladin, Ranger, Wizard or Warlock, run through a dungeon, solve puzzles and kill things that try to kill you. I've only tried its single player mode this far, but I can imagine that the coop mode gets very fun. Many games that try to bring back "old school ways of arcade days" tend to go over the top when it comes to difficulty, but Hammerwatch is quite balanced when it comes to this. You get a lot of options regarding difficulty, including infinite lives and regenerating health. All in all, I think Hammerwatch gives a good balance when it comes to combining new and old. The level design might be very 2D and very pixelated (which will makes the creation of your own levels rather easy, I believe) but the soundtrack is modern. And by modern I mean orchestral sounding, rather than MIDI-y or chiptune-y. The soundtrack is not modern in the sense that it goes for "atmospheric wind sounds" rather than actual, hummable music, though. As I said, a smart mix of new and old. The genre isn't that common, or at least it isn't a genre I'm that familiar with. I give my first impressions of game 5/5 because I haven't played anything in the same vein that is better, and because I couldn't find a lot of things to complain about.
