Gauntlet: Slayer Edition is a reboot to the earlier version of Gauntlet which was launched for PC. The Gauntlet: Slayer Edition will have the same old-school arcade version of co-op multiplayer action gameplay. Even if it is a reboot, the concepts remain the same but an addition to it we have new special attacks and huge dungeons to explore.
This new version will add some new realm, modes and monsters, so you need to pick your players wisely. The Four players you can select are the Warrior, the Wizard, Valkyrie and the Elf. The game starts with a new a new story followed with the hero and his weapon abilities with customization included. To survive in the world of Gauntlet here are few tips and tricks for beginners.
Choose your Character:
It is very important to know your characters before you begin with story mode and start the survival. Every Character in Gauntlet is very unique and each has his own combat style. Wizard is good with the magic attacks but has a poor health. Elf Is good with small attacks like shooting arrows and throwing bombs in a single shot. The Warrior is good with his Axe, his special move which makes him a lethal weed-whacker. Last but not the least The Valkyrie hits multiple enemies at once. Extra player “The Necromancer” which can be unlocked after the purchase of $4.99 excluding the game price. This player can be used to summon assistant which includes the archers and the ghost.
If you are searching for a character with more of striking abilities you should go for the Warrior or the Valkyrie. If you are searching for a character with for of distant attacks then you better pet a Wizard or an Elf to do the job. Stick with the player and if you find you don’t like it then change and see what others have to offer. The Character you choose will play a key role in the Game. So choose wisely.
Building Strategy:
If your character dies in the game then you have two options either you use the skull coins which you have collected during your kills and collecting treasure in the game. And once you have used them up you can try to recollect some of them after your rebirth. The other way is to restart the game. This will end all the fun you had so far. So you need to build a good strategy to survive and use the coins wisely.
To start with, you need to keep a close eye on the health bar. If you have taken damage while fighting then the collect the food scattered throughout the stage, this will refill your health. You need to keep your health up for the long run and this can be only possible if you keep collecting foods. Also keep your Aly healthy, if he needs some food then stop being greedy and give then one.
Note: The Skull Coins are equally important as foods in the game, so search them while playing.
Surviving:
One of the best way to survive is to avoid the Death which pops up at any level in Gauntlet: Slayer Edition. If he touches you are killed that very moment. There are two ways to avoid Death first is very simple – RUN away. Use your characters Dash attacks to cut down the enemies in front of you and this will avoid him for a moment. The second way is to use the magic potion which you hardly find in the game. Whenever Death comes use the potion and you will have time to escape until he comes back.
Collect Gold:
Collecting gold is important as you need them when you buy items from the shop. Gold will also help you to shop and improve the Character’s gear and performance. Take your time, improve the looks and also use the customization option to use it on your character’s Armour.
Hope this was a useful guide. Enjoy.
Gauntlet is one of the longest-running dungeon crawlers in the video game industry. In Gauntlet, the player takes control of a class/hero (with specific abilities or attributes) who hacks and slashes his or her way through hordes of enemies throughout various dungeon-style environments. Ideally, the player is one member of a group of heroes who can work together to overcome the challenges of the dungeons, with a simple story giving the characters a goal, and some bosses along the way. Here, we will compare Gauntlet Dark Legacy for the PS2 and Gauntlet: Slayer Edition for the PS4.Graphics/AudioThe graphics in Dark Legacy are about as good as you would expect for a game of its time, with noticeably low texture resolutions and animations that appear to stutter, but this helps contribute to the novelty of the game. Slayer Edition is by no means breathtaking, however the graphics have certainly improved to modern-day standards.
The game runs smoothly at 60 frames per second and the art style has come a long way towards making players, items, objects, etc., stand out from the landscape and background.There is also a large difference in the camera between the games. The camera in Dark Legacy follows the players (sometimes far too closely) with a predetermined position in an almost third-person perspective, which can sometimes make it difficult to see what lies ahead, but is also used to sneak views of certain things into the camera at intended locations. In contrast, the Slayer edition camera follows the players in an overhead view, and locks into a zoomed-out position when the players walk into a “battle” room (this will be explained in Gameplay).The audio is one aspect of these games that is quickly recognizable as Gauntlet-flavored. Although the sounds have changed dramatically, there is still a distinct style or theme to the audio effects, particularly voice and item sounds. The sound quality/fidelity also improved significantly, as expected.ControlsThere’s not much to say about the controls of any dungeon crawler, and Gauntlet is no different. The left stick moves the character, attacks are performed by a couple buttons or triggers, items are used with another button, etc.
Between Dark Legacy and Slayer Edition, the developers assigned different actions to different buttons depending on what best suited the game, but ultimately the controls are designed to be intuitive and easy to pick up quickly. StoryIn both games, the plot is rather simplistic. Dark Legacy explains that, in ancient times, a wizard summoned a demon using Runestones. The wizard intended to control the demon, but failed, and the demon then conquered the world with his minions and scattered the Runestones across the realms. Throughout the game, the adventurers reclaim the Runestones and ultimately defeat the demon.If that wasn’t simple enough, Slayer Edition is nothing more than adventurers fighting through the Gauntlet – a series of dungeons conjured up by a corrupt wizard – in order to claim riches. There are subtleties, like the heroes’ backstories and reasons for embarking on such a suicidal mission, but it’s not really important to the game or even the genre. Dungeon crawlers are about simple fun, and that’s part of what makes the Gauntlet series so good at doing it.
GameplayIn Dark Legacy, the combat is mostly button-mashing, with most tasks being relegated to a strong/slow attack and a weak/fast attack, along with an “ultimate” ability that causes mass destruction if fully charged, and relatively less destruction if halfway charged. Potions also get their own button, which cause a powerful area explosion that kills almost anything on screen, even Death. So yes, it does help to know which button/ability to use in any given scenario, to minimize the damage you and your teammates take while maximizing damage output. The newer Gauntlet makes combat slightly more tactical, although a lot of time is still spent spamming minor abilities in order to kill many minor enemies.One notable difference is the role of items in these games. Gold and items are of the utmost importance in Dark Legacy. A shop screen is available between levels, which players can use to stock up on items, restore health, buy stat bonuses, or purchase power-up items which last for some duration into the next level.
Some items, like keys (used to unlock chests, which contain more items) and potions, exist in both games, although their functionality or implementation changes slightly. In Slayer Edition, items are almost non-existent except for potions, keys, and a single weapon and item slot that is specific to each character.
These slots have few different choices that change how the character is played, but some of these are upgrades which take a significant amount of gold to unlock.Dark Legacy contains a hub with portals to every level in the game, while Slayer Edition uses a Mario-styled level selector tree. The levels within Dark Legacy are large and non-linear, with platforming aspects as well as hidden secrets.
This varies greatly from Slayer Edition, where the levels are linear tunnels and corridors with “battle” rooms in between. In the battle rooms, the doors lock and waves of monsters spawn until either all of the monsters are killed or the players die. In both games, the levels take approximately the same amount of time to complete, 30-90 minutes, depending on the level.Overall, Dark Legacy is a much more epic game – something to spend countless hours grinding through with a group of dedicated friends – while Slayer Edition is designed to be more bite-sized, where a few random online players can group up and tackle a level or two without much time commitment. They are both great games with some similarities, but the Gauntlet series has changed so much over time that they can hardly be recognized as the same series any more.Filed Under.
