Gauntlet Dark legacy Style DLC

[Bud Smoke]

Everyone knows this game is fun and follows more true to older gauntlet play styles. But Its also a well known fact DaRk Legacy for the Ps2 and other consoles was the best gauntlet game period. And i will list the reasons why , And why possibly it should be considered for future Dlc/ expansion.

This is the old game Gauntlet Dark Legacy For the ps2

Playable characters: Wizard / Knight / Warrior / Archer / Sorceress / Valkyrie / Dwarf / Jester.

Not only is there a mass of characters to choose from but you can Change the Colors from Red blue green yellow which changed the appearences of all characters.
Not only that, but there were hidden unlocks for each character to be changed into a animal / Jackal / Unicorn / Minotaur / Tigress / Medusa / Falconess / Ogre / Hyena. This was able to be chieved by Minigames you can find throughout the levels in the game. Regardless of a ton of characters to choose from this gave an end game goal for us players to work for.

Leveling from 1 -99 gave purpose for all us rpg dorks out there and upon every 10 levels your character would change vanity items and look way better, and even upon further level gaps ie every 20-30 levels you would get a familiar that would also gain vanity things. This is a goal alone for many gamers.

Ontop of leveling you could actualy spend your gold on usefull things like Stat points. Not every characters base stats are the same and they increase with leveling yess but if you wanted to be strong you had to farm gold and raise your stats. Some points in the game were simply too hard if you didnt take up on this. Many more "relics" were available to the game and did not cost potions. Because Potions used to use magic that was extremely helpfull in runing from death, not only that but 4 different elemental types of potions. Every character had their own specials that you could even combine with other players to slaughter rooms. There were six different basic attack combos you can perfom.

***BTW why did death only show up in the new game a few times.... kinda lame he used to be worth something like DRAIN YOUR LEVELS!, trust me no one wanted to ♥♥♥♥ with death***

There were tons of hidden things throughout Stages that you would find your self searching for at higher levels to defeat bosses and what not. Bosses were actualy hard at first and might actualy require you to find the scimitar in act 3 level six to drain most of the GENIE boss'es health off the start. as i stated before there were mini games and actual rewards for trying to stray aside from the normal path. ***The new gauntlet felt like it pushed you in one direction the whole time, i never had to search where to go or anything. If it gave you a barrel you pretty much knew search this room or the room next to it to find where to use it.*** A total of 8 realms that all had sub levels and then hidden realms at the end.

I guess all im getting at is Dark legacy was a really Great game that they should have modeled their new game off of because it had many things that are what new gamers usualy look for in a good purchase. It has many Different things that offer to the completionist style of gaming. It has a leveling system and stats that can reach a top cap for maximum god like if you are the rpg have to have everything maxed out style of gamer. It offeres great adventure with many different realms with a good story and many twists for if your and RPG dork. It is a lengthy game, with a good dificulty level ,with many secrets and high replayability level.

If you could reproduce that game with todays " I Got to have my shinies" a mentality Refering to random drops and random spawns for rare enemies and items then you got a great Dlc or expansion. but regardless if you didn't and just made an expansion based off Dark legacy it would still be killer.

I wish this game was like Gauntlet Legends / Dark Legacy / whatever version you played
I agree Jeslis. That's what I thought too. :/

Agreed. I am bitterly disappointed about how much better Dark Legacy (a 15 year old game??) is than this Gauntlet.

[A Fish]

Yeah, the gme as advertised, really seemed to be Dark legacy to me,
i was sure it was that, or some package of all the gauntlet games rebooted or something,

I was reaallll disappointed when it turned out that it wasnt actually that.

False advertisement?

Or have they mentioned that they intend on rebooting dark legacy ?

Is there any way to get my money back? this isn't what I bought.

The original Gauntlet, sure, nostalgia up the bum, defintely not 20 squids worth of game play though, this is like a $5 phone app.

Actually, I'm not disappointed, i'm pissed.

I don't recall at any point them giving the idea that this was about anything other than the original Gauntlet. If you saw the trailer for this game, you would notice that it displays the original Gauntlet game only.

The game has more than enough content for 20 dollars. I assume you haven't come close to becoming an extremely adept player, let alone played on Unfair mode.

You want your money back? Goodluck.
I've never been able to go into a store, buy a pear from the "pear" labeled basket, bite into it and then say, "Hey, I want my money back, I thought this was a peach!".

[Ferrahgo]

While i agree that dark legacy and legends are great games, and that I would love to have them implemented into this game, its pretty tough to say that this game is not EXACTLY what arrowhead said it was going to be. On top of that, I really enjoyed this game and hope to continue playing it when more content is released, or another level of difficulty is added.

how on earth did u think this was based off dark legacy? even if u only watched a video without someone explaining the game you should know.
it was very clear this was gonna be based around 1985 gauntlet.

its your job to be a smart consumer and a smart consumer researches a product before buying.

you cannot get a refund since you bought a game that was very clear about what it was going to be. now if store page said dark legacy remake and then it turned out to be this then yes you would have grounds to ask for a refund but you do not

[Doctor Pepper]

I would easily buy a 4-pack of Dark Legacy with a graphics upgrade and nothing else. That game will forever be in my Top 10 games of all time (maybe top 5).

Yes, I was hoping for more of a Dark legacy style gameplay...My sister and I put countless hours into it. unlocking new chars, getting max lvl , and going through levels trying to find ♥♥♥♥ we skipped, and the Item system made it fun as well there was always something you could buy to prepare for the next battle.

Messaggio originale di Inkubus:

I seem to be the only person here who played Legends and not Dark Legacy lol. Isn't Dark Legacy just Legends with some extra levels and stuff?

no its a sequal

[Haiiroookami]

it would be great but i doubt would ever come out me and my brother want a port of the classic ps 2 one steam with drop in drop out co op

[Calico]

I really hope for something more Dark Legacy-ish soon. I like the multiplayer/drop in mechanic of this game. But I do want to see the leveling system of Dark Legacy, as well as the appearance changes that happened every 10 levels and a similar map system.

[ThePossibleJerk]

Yes please, do that :D

This isn't.....Gauntlet Dark legacy Remake. Which is a remake of a remake anyway. This is Gauntlet. Have you played the original Gauntlet? I agree on a Dark Legacy STAND ALONE, not DLC. It needs more as this is supposed to be reminescent of the ARCADE GAME that came out in 1985. They did a good job on remaking a 3 hour 1985 video game into a 9 hour 2014 game.

But to say "they should have modeled their new game off of because it had many things that are what new gamers usualy look for in a good purchase." I'm sorry, but No. Dark Legacy is NOT gauntlet. It's Gauntlet Legends Part 2. Why In the hell would you go straight to the end of the book? Also, this was made to be the original, top down not third person. I didn't like the third person gauntlet. I felt it was trying too hard to be another game, which is why that series killed that game for a decade. Just saying. No. It should be a stand alone released on it's own accord instead of ruining the True Gauntlet Experience.

Agreed. I am bitterly disappointed about how much better Dark Legacy (a 15 year old game??) is than this Gauntlet.

It's not even the same type of game. That's like grabbing a NFL tickets to a basketball game. If you walked in expecting a third person, you'll be utterly disapointed. If you walk in After plaing the 31 year old video game, you wouldnt say this. I'm just tired of these n64 fan boys trying to Ruin a classic. Gauntlet Legends was comeplete different than Gauntlet. This is Gauntlet, Not Gauntlet Legends. No where did it say "Dark" or "Legacy" anywhere. And since when has a Remake ever been better than an original? Pfft.
