Co-op geared game but I played it 100% solo and offline. Took about 5-6 hours to beat with a single class. Each class is absurdly different (down to controls) so I could see someone playing through the game 4 entire times. Same maps but the feel from class to class makes it feel like different game. There are also a bunch of unlockables and upgrades you can farm. I never care too much about that stuff but would greatly extend game time if you liked ticking those boxes. Well worth $3 no matter what.

FWIW, I played OG NES Gauntlet back in the day and this didn't bring back any 'member berries. I think it is Gauntlet in name only.

Steam Deck perfect.

how does this work? I bought the 4 pack for $5.99, but I don't see the options to gift it. Do I need to buy 4 copies? That doesn't make sense.

edit: nvm, I see it in my community inventory now

I really wish there was a way to turn off the "death chasing you" mechanic...

I haven't played gauntlet since the 80s and 90s. If I get this, will I be able to play online w/ other people? I remember it was funnest playing with others, especially the arcade version where you could have 4 people at the same time.

Lol I bought the four pack and already owned the game and I see only three to gift. Time to email customer service. The original gauntlet got the slayer edition patch for free so they better give me another copy to gift

I'm slow. I bought the 4-pack via steam. I installed it on my own machine. Where do I get the other 3 codes for friends? Thanks

edit: found my 'gift inventory.'

Loved this game. Played with the wife and kid, not too many couch coops out there for three that are this much fun.
