Gauntlet Legends je arkadna fantasy \"hack and slash\" dungeon crawler RPG igra iz 1998. godine. Primarni gameplay fokusiran je na borbu protiv hordi neprijatelja i skupljanje blaga dok istražujete tamnice. Ono što ga je izdvajalo za arkadni naslov je mogućnost spremanja napretka i likova, omogućujući dugoročnu igru i razvoj karaktera tijekom više sesija.
","tokens":{"input":1962,"output":104,"total":2066}}Primarna petlja igranja vrti se oko navigacije kroz različite razine, svladavanja hordi neprijatelja i skupljanja blaga. Igrači biraju heroja i ulaze u tamnice, koristeći raznoliko oružje i magične sposobnosti za prevladavanje prepreka. Sustav borbe naglašava izravnu konfrontaciju, zahtijevajući od igrača da upravljaju svojim zdravljem i resursima dok maksimiziraju izlazak štete protiv sve težih protivnika.
\n\nZnačajna karakteristika za arkadnu igru tog razdoblja bila je implementacija trajnih podataka o liku. To je igračima omogućilo da spremaju svoj napredak, uključujući razvoj lika i inventar, dopuštajući dugoročnije ulaganje u avanturu izvan jedne sesije. Ovaj sustav podržavao je kontinuirani rast i prilagodbu lika tijekom višestrukih posjeta.
\n\nIgra uranja igrače u svijet visoke fantasy avanture. Iako specifični narativni detalji nisu široko dostupni, temeljni koncept usredotočen je na istraživanje opasnih lokacija ispunjenih čudovištima. Okruženje je dizajnirano da omogući stalnu akciju, karakterističnu za žanr beat 'em upa, prekrivenu sustavima napredovanja lika tipičnim za RPG.
\n\nOvo izdanje glavne igre trenutno ne sadrži službeno objavljen preuzimivi sadržaj (DLC) ili ekspanzije. Iskustvo je cjelovito onako kako je prvotno lansirano za arkadnu platformu.
\n\nOvaj naslov privlači igrače koji cijene brze, akcijske RPG elemente i klasične fantasy postavke. Zbog naglaska na neposrednoj borbi i mogućnosti dugoročnog razvoja lika putem spremanja napretka, privlačan je onima koji traže intenzivno iskustvo arkadnog stila s elementima zadržavanja napretka.

The third and final console version of Gauntlet Legends, released in June of 2000. This version is most notable for being a near-direct arcade port, as the only console port to feature the four original Realms from the arcade original. However, some of their levels were completely redone, a new physics engine was used, and some of the soundtracks were remixed. Like the arcade version, there is no inventory. The player can only access the shop after completing a level. Special items are used on a time limit, which is slightly longer than the arcade version. The game is often criticized for not allowing players to buy food at the shop. This port includes many features from Gauntlet: Dark Legacy, including its 8 new character classes. The Poisoned Fields area is included as the first level in the Castle Stronghold. The Mausoleum is also accessible from a secret passage in the Castle Courtyard.

The second console version of Gauntlet Legends, released in March of 2000. This version is often criticized for its extreme diversity from the original arcade version. Most of the levels have been down-sized, many objects features buggy physics, and lack of four-player cooperative play (omitting Multitap functionality) gave the port relatively bad ratings. The game retains the inventory system from the Nintendo 64 version, the two new realms, and extensive cheat codes.

The first console version of Gauntlet Legends, released in September of 1999. This game introduced an inventory system that allowed players to stock and activate items after they were obtained, with a few exceptions (Invulnerability and Anti-Death Halo). This is also the first Gauntlet game to feature Sumner's tower and his shop. Four-player co-op is supported, but only by making use of the Expansion Pak.
