Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows

Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows is a computer role-playing game. It is the follow up to Gauntlet Legends and Gauntlet: Dark Legacy. Industry veterans John Romero and Josh Sawyer spearheaded Midway's San Diego studio, intent on reviving the classic Gauntlet action RPG franchise after the last title was poorly recieved. Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows fuses fantasy fighting action with the strategic RPG collecting and customization elements for solo play, co-op and an online community.

Story
Centuries ago, four immortal heroes set out to kill the most powerful emperor their age had ever known. They failed, and for their crimes, three were crucified on a great tree at the bottom of the world. Mysteriously set free, the heroes set out to finish what they had started, only to find that they must now save their tormentor from his own dreams and madness. If the ancient heroes cannot undo the emperor's deeds on their own, his mad plans may tear apart the world.

Romero left Midway Games before the completion of this title.
