Gauntlet Legends on N64 is one of those classic dungeon crawlers where you just smash through waves of monsters, grab loot, and try not to get wrecked by some ridiculous boss. You pick from warriors, wizards, archers—each feels totally different, and yeah, I always ended up going back to the Valkyrie because spears are cool.
It’s way more fun with friends, though. Couch co-op turns it into this chaotic mess where someone’s inevitably hogging all the food (health potions) while another player keeps accidentally setting off traps. The levels get pretty wild too—one minute you’re in a lava dungeon, the next you’re fighting a giant skeleton king. Just don’t expect deep storytelling; it’s all about the hack-and-slash chaos.
Also, pro tip: save your magic for the big guys. You’ll need it.
