Eidos
Revitalizes Coin-Op Classic
Gauntlet On Nintendo DS
Eidos
Interactive
have announced that Gauntlet, a
classic action role playing game
(RPG), will soon be coming to the
Nintendo DS.
"Eidos
is proud to revitalize the iconic
Gauntlet franchise from Midway by
offering a totally revamped
iteration of the classic
multiplayer action RPG to the
Nintendo DS," said Robert A.
Lindsey, Executive Vice President
of Sales and Marketing for Eidos
Inc. "Gauntlet pushes the
technology behind the DS by
introducing VoIP as well as
offering gamers an in-depth
competitive multiplayer
experience never before explored
in the Gauntlet
universe."
One
of the few titles taking full
advantage of the hardware
capabilities of the Nintendo DS,
Gauntlet offers Voiceover IP
(VoIP) which allows voice
communication through the
Nintendo DS microphone, giving
players more options to interact
with their friends
online.
Gauntlet
offers fast-paced, retro RPG
gameplay in addition to the
in-depth multiplayer features
including cooperative play, and
competitive multiplayer. The
co-op story mode campaign
features 40 maps across three
realms, allowing players to
experience Gauntlet with up to
three friends, banding together
with their powers to defeat
swarms of demons and skeletons
and clear a path to victory. The
arcade style competitive
multiplayer feature strengthens
the addictive Gauntlet experience
by introducing ranked multiplayer
games like Death Match, Team
Death Match and Treasure Hoard
game modes across 16 unique maps.
Co-op and competitive multiplayer
can be hosted locally over
Nintendo Wi-Fi
Connection.
Gauntlet
is set in a fantasy-themed
universe where evil cloaks the
world from the high clouds of
Ascendia to the depths of the
lava-ridden Abyss. Players can
choose from the four classic
heroes, Elf, Warrior, Wizard, and
Valkyrie, each with their own
strengths, weaknesses and special
abilities. Throughout the
journey, the heroes will slash
their way through demonic foes
and gain up to four power move
abilities to aid them in their
battle with evil.
