A 2014 PC dungeon brawler developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, this entry revives the classic Gauntlet cooperative formula for up to four players. The game offers four distinct hero classes to choose from, each with their own playstyle, as players fight through monster-dense dungeons in pursuit of treasure. Levels combine hand-crafted and procedurally generated layouts, providing varied environments across sessions. Combat follows the hack-and-slash tradition of the original arcade series, pitting players against waves of enemies in enclosed dungeon spaces. Both local and online cooperative multiplayer are supported, keeping the franchise's signature group-oriented experience intact. The blend of familiar arcade sensibilities with modern dungeon design makes it a contemporary take on one of gaming's foundational co-op franchises.
For ages, fool-hardy adventurers have been lured by promises of countless treasures in the depths of the Gauntlet, yet none have ever made it out alive. The corrupt wizard Morak conjures minions and devious traps against would-be champions and taunts them all along the way. But a new group of heroes looks to succeed where all others have failed. Warrior, Valkryie, Elf, and Wizard – each has their own reason for entering the Gauntlet but all four are bound together for one goal: to survive the Gauntlet and claim the ultimate prize!
