Gauntlet

Gauntlet for the Nintendo DS is a feature rich game that includes some of the most memorable features of Gauntlet from the arcade with an updated look, additional attacks and powers, and a new Experience-based combat system. Players will encounter the challenges of 32 enemy types, including a cadre of completely original monsters as well as fan favourites such as Skeletons, Thief and even Death. Scattered throughout the maps players acquire amazing pickups to assist on their journey -- from Bait that attracts nearby monsters to the Glacier Freeze potion that temporarily freezes the hordes of enemies around them. Players must also seek out gold to increase their Fame levels and strengthen their projectile attacks.
