Worst game play ever.
You have to constantly move around which gets old and tiring.
Death in the catacombs comes constantly and you can barley get away if your lucky....

It would be better if I could play it. GeForce RTX 4080 Super. with i9 and 32GB of ram. If its choppy on this then it is the dev fault. I guess I will try this game again in a year.

Great game! Lots of fun with friends! Elf will destroy all your food!
10/10 Will go hungry again!
P.S. Please add support for Geforce Now cloud gaming. You just need to click a box in Steam and they will get the ball rolling with nvidia.

Good game overall, just simple fast fun, but death really ruins the levels he is on. Basically changes from a 9/10 game to a 2/10 game instantly. It should either be removed or be optional.

Great game, lots of fun solo or co-op. Great for a quick challenge or a marathon night too. Only wish there was more!

Repeatative. There multiple no win scenarios. Annoying isometric fixed view. Levels are long and you can only save progress at the end of a level. Died several times near the end of a level. Got tired of replaying the whole level over and over just to get to the last part. Wasn't expecting much from a 1980's remake. I was still disappointed.

Despite the flaws this game has, and the legacy it may or may not live up to depending on your history with the franchise, Gauntlet is still my favorite horde-slayer in 2025. I have nearly a thousand hours between Vermintide 2 and Darktide, and have greatly enjoyed time in Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop, Helldivers 2, GTFO, Magicka 1 & 2, and other games of their kind. I wouldn't say that Gauntlet is a better game than any of the others listed, but it is a good game, and one I personally strongly recommend. The vast majority of my time in the game was singleplayer, but any opportunity to play with friends is a welcome one.
