I played Gauntlet 2 on the original NES for years upon years and I feel like this game is a faithful remaster of that formula. For the asking price of $20, I have no buyers remorse and have had an enjoyable experience with the game thus far. If you're looking for a loot-driven dungeon crawler, this is NOT what you want; this game is more about cooldown management and circle-strafing while mowing down hordes of respawning enemies whilst attempting to gather gold and destroy enemy spawn points. As for loot, there are cosmetic options that you can earn in the game with gold purchases, and relics that you can purchases and upgrade for limited use during the levels. The four classes are quite distinct and I've found a few good combos for 2-player co-op. It seems like a simple game at first, but there's enough depth lurking here to keep you busy for some time.
