When IGN first reviewed Gauntlet on PC in 2014, we gave it a score of 6.8 for "Okay." Here's what we said then:
“Gauntlet can't quite strike the balance between the nostalgic arcade experience and a modern-day replay-friendly adventure. It's cool that there's such a varied experience amongst the iconic quartet of heroes, and four-player co-op is almost always fun with the right crew, but its repetitive structure works against its longevity."
For all of the improvements that come with Gauntlet: Slayer Edition (a free update for the PC version and a standalone $20 release on the PlayStation 4), repetition is still this demon's greatest weakness, though it's not quite as big a killer as it was before. The core campaign is still the same set of levels leading up to a boss battle, though many bonus levels have been added to freshen the experience should you seek more gold. While it's purely aesthetic, the icon-based map (think Super Mario Bros. 3) that lowers deeper and deeper into the underworld actually adds some personality to the drab hub area of the original release.
