    Sure this game is very repetitive if you play single player,... but if you play it with three or four people then thats when it REEally shines!!. It's just your basic hack-and-slash gorefest,...YUMMMM!

    If you liked nightcaster you'll like this game. It doesn't sound as good. You'll be mad if you pay $50 for it, find it used.

    Flawed but solidly fun, deep as a dime, and airy as a zeppelin. [Summer 2002, p.93]
  2. While the single-player game is fun, the multiplayer cooperative quests are where it really is entertaining.
  3. While Gauntlet: Dark Legacy is a decent enough game, its main saving grace is the four player co-op play, something of a rarity.
