Gauntlet: Slayer Edition Review | GameSpew

That was my initial reaction to loading up Gauntlet, which immediately presents itself to you as an obvious Diablo-esque dungeon-crawling RPG. That is, if Diablo had all of its much-loved core mechanisms ripped right out of it. No character upgrades? No gaining experience or levels? No loot? I managed to put my disappointment at the dissipated prospect of finding epic weapons and becoming a badass level 70 to the side though, and once I did, I realised Gauntlet has a lot to offer in its own right.'
