    I remember playing this in 4 player co-op. We beat the game in one sitting. I was the Wizard and the early parts of the game were ROUGH since everyone else was able to kill stuff before me. However, by the last few stages I was able to single-handedly clear out rooms before anyone else could do much. So, not a bad game by any means. It was a solid rental.
    I also distinctly remember the announcer sounding like he said "death has a beard"

    Yeah the only problem with this game is its length. It's extremely fun, especially with friends, but it's the shortest Gauntlet game of all of them and to be shorter than the NES versions, that's... not good for being multiple consoles in the future. It just wraps up with no fanfare, in fact, you think it's going to keep going... but it just ends.
    They really could've done more levels and this game would've been great.

    The combat itself was good, but I think the main issue for this game was the real lack of variety of stages, lack of items like 3 way shot x-ray glasses, mythical beast chars, and the cheesy goodness of the voice narrator.

    I felt it was too easy for the most part. Food was in abundance and magic regenerates so I hardly ever felt worried. Also significantly shorter than Dark Legacy with little to no replayability, quick to fully max compared to DL's 999, left my characters easily maxed early. Still enjoyed the combat but it did get repetitive in such linear maps.

The arcade style was just the best.

    Honestly, this game lowkey whipped and doesn't deserve all the hate. I have years of fond memories playing this back to front on friends' couches. Yeah, I was disappointed it wasn't more Dark Legacy (which I played into the ground on my PS2) but it's not a BAD game - it's just not more "classic" Gauntlet. If you look at it as a brawler, on its own merits - the visual design, more grim (but still campy) setting, and gameplay mechanics - it still holds up IMHO.
    Also, if you want to play more stuff in this vein, I'd be really interested to see you check out Demon Stone, a D&D action RPG that also has similarities to those LOTR games!

    I had this game for my 15th birthday, my dad was going to buy me a game and I had to choose between this or Soul Calibur 3. When he brought Gauntlet Seven Sorrows home and I played it, I was so disappointed that I returned it and bought Soul Calibur 3. My biggest gripes with Seven Sorrows are that it was a very short game and it had a severe lack of content, I played Legends and Dark Legacy, so I was expecting this game to blew both out of the water. In my opinion, this is the weakest in the series. Even the 2014 version on PS4 is better.
