Arcade classic Gauntlet confirmed for DS
Games by Andrew Macarthy on April 6th
Gauntlet, first released an Arcade title by Atari Games in 1985, is a videogaming classic; a hack-and-slash dungeon crawler in which players lead their character through room after perilous room filled with enemies, treasure and potions. After a numerous ports over the years and following a classification by the Australian government, today we officially learn that the series is heading to the Nintendo DS. We’ve got game details and screenshots below.
Developed by Backbone Entertainment, Gauntlet for the Nintendo DS will feature the same brand of cooperative gameplay that made the original Arcade title such a smash hit back in the day. Players choose from one of four characters, each a different class and displaying their own strengths and weaknesses. They’ll then be challenged to traverse through 40 new maps, fending off 32 sorts of enemy.
IGN reports that up to four players will be able to play through Gauntlet co-operatively, either via local wireless or, brilliantly, anyone around the world via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. What’s more, Backbone has also implemented voice support, so you’ll be able to chat to your fellow gamers as you progress. Other game modes (which also support more than one player) include Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Treasure Horde.
As you’ll notice from the first screenshots, Gauntlet will run over both of the Nintendo DS screens, with gameplay complimented by an orchestral soundtrack and the world’s favourite videogaming announcer.
