An upgraded version of Gauntlet, a title with arcade origins known from early stages of PC gaming. The remade version (released in 2014 on PC) was developed by Arrowhead Game Studios. Gauntlet: Slayer Edition is a new incarnation of a dungeon crawler released on arcade machines in 1985. The players enter a fantasy world, and their task is to explore grim dungeons inhabited by dangerous monsters (giant spiders, armed skeletons), or even ghosts. We can choose from one of four heroes (Warrior, Valkyrie, Elf, and Wizard), different in terms of playstyle as well as powers and abilities. Aside from the single player mode, a multiplayer module has been introduced (online, as well as locally). Compared with the PC version, Gauntlet: Slayer Edition has better visuals, and more balanced gameplay.
