Gauntlet™ Slayer Edition

Far too hard on solo for weak little Wizards (and me!) and much more progress to be made in coop.

The gameplay reminded me very much of a Diablo style, in that I was actually able to just hold down my left mouse button which is the regular attack and not let go as enemies just surround you most of the time - your other abilities come with a cooldown so you need to time these for when they are going to be most beneficial.

Slayer Edition's iteration of the monster roster has bestowed very welcome refinements, particularly to the tougher variety.

Classes mesh well together: Valkyrie's shield and melee screening pairing well with Elf's ranged DPS and area CC, for example.

If you do want the multiplayer experience in Gauntlet, then play it with friends and get on Skype together, it will make the entire experience so much more fun and will definitely make it a better play through as opposed to playing with randommers or on your own.

The lighting on the darker levels is something I found to be really well done though - you get a sense of being really deep underground and with the helpless lost feeling as you are crawling through empty dark hallways and caves.
