Gauntlet Slayer Edition Review
This game is the classic top-down hack-and-slash with a lot of great flow to it, and a pretty visual theme to boot! This will ♥♥♥♥ you off to no end, in the most fun way imaginable! The characters all have their own very unique playstyle and skillset, which makes mastering your own style of play very easy but not intimidating enough to make you soley stick to one character. (Haven’t gotten the Necromancer yet, so I don’t have any input on him.)
The Warrior is very well done, and he can definitely deal a ton of damage while staying nimble enough to aovid huge mobs.
The Valkyrie is fun to use and extremly useful in a pinch when you’re playing with 2 or more characters. Though the shield is a bit a awkword to figure out at first. Balancing throwing and blocking takes time.
The elf is just flawless. While he can’t hurt the monster spawner with basic attacks, the bomb arrow more than makes up for that. His ability to roll around and laugh at enemy damage is hilarious.
Saved my personal favourite for last. The mage is extremly fine tuned. With nine spells – including slows, freeze spell, an aoe explosive, a shield, and arcing lightning – The developers had a lot of fun making him. I’ll say that trying to remember the element combination (any two combined of fire, lightning, and ice) takes a minute to get the hang of, after that he decimates waves and spawners. It’s almost unfair, but he does have a bit of a health handicap. So it evens out.
Would I buy it again? Hell yeah! And another! Maybe another, but that’d be it. I’d have four online friends, it’d be perfect!
