Gauntlet Dark Legacy is a three-dimensional action role-playing arcade game which got released by Midway Games in 1999. It runs on Atari Games's Vegas hardware, and it is a sort-of expansion for its immediate predecessor in the Gauntlet series, Gauntlet Legends, which was released in the previous year. It features four new character classes (Dwarf, Knight, Jester and Sorceress) as well as two new levels (Dream World, and Battlefield). In 2001, the game was ported for play on the Sony PlayStation 2, and in the succeeding year it was also ported for play on the Nintendo GameCube, Microsoft Xbox and Game Boy Advance, but the Game Boy Advance version was only released in the United States.

Story[edit]

Note: Transcribed from opening cinematic.

“In an ancient time the evil mage Garm, using the power of the runestones, released a great evil upon the land. This demon, Skorne, broke free of Garm's control and released his minions upon the lands, scattering the runestones across the Eight Realms so that they may never again be used against him.

No one has dared try...

Until now.”
