Constant loss of Health?

[Pastor Richards]

Since the game is trying to "capture the classic feel" I'm wondering if my health will continually drain or will I only lose health when I take damage?

Great question, I also have this doubt.

I really hope they add this. It wouldn't really feel as much like the original Gauntlet without the constant pressure to cooperate and proceed.

[Pastor Richards]

I hope they have an option for both honestly.

Well, that was originally included to keep people pumping coins into the system.

While an option for it would be cool, it would be less useful with the timed revives in multiplayer.

As it is, there is no constant health loss. DeltaBladeX's comment explains very well why this is the case. There is a possibility that a respective game mode will be added but it is too early to talk of yet.

I have a Gauntlet Legends, and I turned off the health tick. But then I usually play with only adding one credit to the machine and see how long I can continue.

[Pastor Richards]

Awesome! Great answer I was looking for. Bummed about the later release date, but still excited overall for the game. Gauntlet Dark Legacy is the only Gamecube game I have left and the only game I still play on my Wii. Super stoked for the New Gauntlet.

I hope a sort of mode or option like that is added at some point. While as mentioned by someone else, the health draining was meant to get people to spend more, I always felt that it added a sense of urgency. Nothing was better than panicking over the fact that your health was very near to running out, and you found yourself surrounded by a few hoards of enemies. What was I supposed to do? NOT put another coin in?
