I have been playing a lot of Gauntlet:dark legacy lately and have been having a lot of fun. I think this game is the most "Gamey" out of all of them. The only other games that would be as gamey would be old arcade games that didn't even pretend to have a story. It is simple yes but it is still a joy to explore the levels. I also just love the presentation of it all. The booming voice of the old wizard makes for a great announcer, all the characters are just fantasy stereotypes taken to an extreme. I would complain about the slowdown in the hub but I have no idea if that is on the original gamecube or if its just my emulator acting up. It is making me wonder why they dont make another gauntlet game. Then I remember that there was one back in 2014 but no one gives a shit about it. Probably wont make a sequel to that either, Arrowhead is much too busy with helldivers. How come buying the bundle is cheaper than buying gauntlet separately?

Something else I love is that each colour has their own costume. They could have just made them all re-colours but no they went the extra mile to add a bit of variety.
Green Dwarf was my man. Played a shitload of Dark Legacy on the Xbox back in the day. Those pre-level cutscenes (and the game over screen) are prime early 2000s mid 90s plastic-y CG.
>>1270422 My man, Green dwarf was my favourite pick as well.

For some reason the Shining Force games on the PS2 were Gauntlet clones instead of tactical RPGs like you'd expect from the franchise. They're both worth playing if you haven't heard of them before, especially EXA.
>>1274937 I looked at gameplay vids. Are you certain of this charge? Exa seems more like a typical ARPG than a gauntlet clone, NEO is a bit more like it but not quite. I had not heard of either of these games until just now.
>>1274993 Gotta admit it's been ages since I've played either. But that was always the comparison I remember making and hearing. Most of the game is you crawling through an area chewing through hordes of monsters and destroying their spawners for tons of upgrades and currency. I remember them constantly showering you with new skills, weapons, and party members to try out, which made them really addictive. But I could be mistaken about how close it really is to Gauntlet.
>>1275136 I haven't played either game so I wouldn't know. I might try EXA anyway because that looks kinda neat. I dont need to play the rest of the series right? I have only played the first one.
>>1275431 Neo and EXA aren't connected, and I hadn't played the Genesis games since I was a kid so even then I didn't remember anything about the plot. So if it's connected to them at all, I didn't know and it didn't stop me from playing it.
