About this product

Product Information

"Gauntlet Dark Legacy" for Nintendo GameCube brings all of the action of the classic RPG style arcade game into the home with better graphics and improved gameplay. Up to four people can participate. Players battle an onslaught of evil trolls, goblins, and skeletons while playing as a warrior, dwarf, sorceress, jester, or other chosen character. The backstory of the game is steeped in fantasy mythology. In long ago days, a great evil was released into the world by a demon and still exists. Players must gather twelve runestones that have been scattered far and wide. Only when this quest is completed can the land be free of evil again. Sumner is a good king, and it is for him that players are fighting. He controls the eight realms of his kingdom from his tower. Players are able to enter different worlds from Sumner's tower. Information about the history of each of these worlds is revealed through brief video sequences before the new world is entered. Players have the power to control different professions of everyone in the game. These include archers, warrior, valkyries, and wizards. Each profession brings unique strengths and weaknesses. For example, wizards start with strong powers in magic, and archers have fast speed. Each character, regardless of type, holds powers in the areas of armor, speed, strength, and magic. Armor protects and speed enables swift attacks. Strength and magic are both used to damage enemies. These attributes are increased as you level up and strengthen your legacy throughout the game. Once a fight has begun, players have several options of how they will conduct their attack. You can mix and match the variables of fast, slow, strong, and weak to put together a custom attack. These combo attacks are stronger than attacks based on one variable. Strafing, blocking, and charging are also options in battle. Strong players can defend themselves and inflict damage simultaneously with the same move. Choices of weapons used to slash through the dark hordes of enemies include sword and ax. Magic spells can also be strategically cast to cut everyone down to size. Power ups can be found in over 60 stages of gameplay. They increase health and take out enemies when their numbers become too many. Gameplay differs between realms. In some cases, players simply race straight down paths and fight whatever gets in their way. In other locations; however, players must navigate mazes. Along the way, players seek to gather up magical items which can give them additional powers. Players must also gather food for sustenance. Treasure can be used as currency to buy food or weapons at shops. The enemies vary by the level or world they are encountered in. A magical generator creates enemies even as they are killed. It is only when the generator is destroyed that enemies stop being created. "Gauntlet Dark Legacy" was the last video game within the Gauntlet series of games to be released in arcades. "Dark Legacy" added four new character classes: sorceress, knight, jester, and dwarf as well as five new levels. This Nintendo GameCube recreation has stayed true to the charm of the Gauntlet arcade game while offering the features and functionality needed for a home console based game. In addition to the GameCube, this game is also available for the Xbox and the PlayStation 2.

  • FUN!

    This game has it all in terms of multiplayer fun in a great fantasy setting. Highly recommended for retro gamers! Seems to work perfectly on my Nintendo Wii as well.

  • Great next to the N64 but with more of everything. Sharper colorfuler need more GL on Switch no DLC

    Okay so here is the deal. Playing this game via disc stand alone provides no "jumping of sound" and runs smooth. It is way better then the Dreamcast game but that being said many graphics improved. However there are things about the N64 game I miss a lot ( a lot ). Like no FMV, cut scenes ( which could have been rendered fully in the GCN version. The uneeded graphics. The exit from the load screen ( that chime plays with your reappearance animation while the N64 version is silent with another sound ) where the N64 plays it right when exiting. The warp where your character model minimize ( where the N64 version makes it gold but in the GCN the entire character minimize then turns gold ). I am looking forward to a Switch version of this game or possible MMORPG with the same exact visual style. The only thing missing about this game is a FPS mode, or Second person mode ( like Mario 64 ) camera. Otherwise it is great and colorful and a joy to play

  • Great Classic

    Gauntlet: Dark Legacy for the GameCube is a step up from its PlayStation counterpart in that you can use items when you want and are not forced to use them immediately. There are additional items that aren't in the other versions as well. There are some downsides, minor in my opinion when compared with the additions, like not health bars for bosses, and no additional effects from the legendary items when used against the bosses beyond damage.
