There will Never be another Dark Legacy! Shame

[Martial Biker]

This game doesnt even come close to comparing to the Legendary Gauntlet Dark Legacy (or Legends) game!! No announcer (Nothing better than hearing - "Blue Minotaur has gained a level!"), no legendary weapons to collect to fight certain bosses, it has TINY ass characters which is just stupid on a big monitor!, weak attacks, overloaded enemies you cant slash through and get a 'bravery' recognition, you name it.. it just doesn't have the over the top fun and excitement the last great Gauntlet game had, it's actually quite boring!

[Martial Biker]

Bring Dark Legacy to steam! THAT was how a Gauntlet game should be!

This is Gauntlet, not Golden Axe. This is as true a Gauntlet game as we've seen in the nearly 30 years since it found its way into arcades. The game you fell in love with was Gauntlet in name, nothing more.

Good joke, this is a poor imitation of the original at best. I mean, not even including the original announcer that's been used since the original? What the ♥♥♥♥ is wrong with the devs? Not only that, but why are you comparing Legends/Dark Legacy to Golden Axe? Are you retarded or something?

The game is BORING, who cares what it is. Dark Legacy was action packed, rockin music, awesome battles, unique levels, and the voiceover rocked. This game is BLAND.

Except most folks prefer the newer Gauntlet games so I wouldn't brush them off like they weren't super fun. The Gauntlet that came out most recently though (the one before this one) wasn't all that great though...

Also, what did Golden Axe have to do with this?

It's not supposed to. It's a re-imagining of the original Gauntlet game from 1985. THAT was how a Gauntlet game should be!

This is true, the part about it being a re-imagining of the orginal Gauntlet. Unfortunate, but true. They have never stated otherwise. I'm hoping their next one, if they make one, will be closer to dark legacy or the other one released around that time. When I get home I'll give my 2 cents, but for now, my lunch is almost over.

I would pay $40 for a 1080p update of Dark Legacy with Achievements. I can't believe so many people are defending a BORING BLAND remake of a boring bland game for $20.

Haha. I wouldn't have bought it, but a friend got it for me as a b-day gift so I'm going to play it. But yeah, I would definitely pay for a Dark Legacy HD remake with achievements.

I paid well over $20 in that damn arcade machine in '85 and '86 and whenever Gauntlet 2 came out. I'm well within my right to enjoy something that brings back the fond memories of the famed quarter eater. Yellow Wizard is about to die

I'm not brushing off fans of any game. I'm saying that Dark Legacy didn't feel like a successor to Gauntlet to me. Gauntlet was brutal and punishing. The Golden axe thing was just a stupid comparison we used to make with the way it felt like a beat em up/hack n slash instead of Gauntlet. I guess it's a difference of people that grew up with the original vs people that grew up with the Gamecube.

This seems to be a pretty good remake of the original, but I'd sell my left nut for a HD remaster of Dark Legacy with online co-op and achievements. Someone go make an online petition aimed at WB Interactive.

Just because you dont like it, dont act like people are stupid for defending it

[Martial Biker]

Oh, I'm sure WB would have made 2x as much money if they did a remaster of Dark Legacy instead.. but they chose to please the 40% who prefer boring and blah instead

[Khargon]

Easily one of the best Gauntlet games. I played the hell out of that one in the Arcades AND on my N64. god I need to get an N64 and that game again!

[Doctor Pepper]

No lie, I would drop 60 bucks for an HD Dark Legacy....man......game was so damn good

[Kitt 🌟 Stargazer]

I'm enjoying this game a lot, up to 68 hours into it as well...
