Gauntlet Dark Legacy/Gameplay

If you've never played a Gauntlet game before, you're in for some original fun. The game plays like a beat 'em up but with additional RPG elements.

Gameplay
As you jump into the game, you'll notice that most of the time you'll be standing in one spot holding down either of the two attack buttons.

However, although you can play like this, later in the game you'll be beaten down as you face more difficult enemies.

A few additional fighting techniques exist to help you through the game and make you a more experienced player.

You can use melee attacks by walking into enemies, and you can use magic in various ways to help defeat large amounts of enemies and Death.

Enemies
Enemies will hone in on you, and attack when within a certain proximity. Normal soldiers, creatures, generals and all the melee enemies will seek you out on foot. Archers and bomb throwers, however, will attempt to keep their distance while they attack, so you'll need to rush them.

Gargoyles, generals, golems and bosses are all creatures that have a high tolerance to damage. They must be defeated in different ways, but note that you'll most likely sustain some if not a lot of damage from each of them.

Items
Across each stage you'll find chests scattered about. In each, you'll find various items ranging from gold to food to weaponry.
