Get ready for an action-packed adventure as Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows , the latest installment in the Gauntlet series, comes to Xbox. The Emperor, driven by a thirst for immortality, has crucified his four loyal heroes to a magic tree. Hundreds of years later, he regrets his actions and frees them, asking them to defeat his six former advisors to undo the damage.
The game returns to its roots, with the warrior, valkyrie, elf, and wizard fighting their way through hordes of enemies to reach the six bosses. The gameplay is mostly a hack'n'slash affair, with limited puzzles that involve finding keys and pressing buttons to open doors and portals. Each character has unique moves and attacks, such as the warrior's powerful attacks or the valkyrie's quick moves.
Defeating enemies earns experience points, which can be used to increase your stats. You'll also find chests containing better armor or weapons, and new moves can be purchased with gold. The game supports both single-player and cooperative multi-player modes, where up to four players fight together.
The Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows experience is enhanced by the addition of online gaming. Played online, the game is identical to a regular multiplayer experience, allowing you to play with friends on different Xbox consoles.
