![]() If I were scoring it, the only question is, does it get a 20%, or drop into the teens. Yes, fulfilling my expectations (and worst fears), Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows (PS2/Xbox, I got it for PS2) is a miserable, horrible game. This game is just miserable, particularly for Gauntlet fans. Sadly, I think it's even worse than my lowest expectations. The question on my mind was, would I hate it so much that I'd think the $6 were wasted, or would I find some minimum level of fun somewhere that saved it and gave it value. ![]() I'd never have paid full price for it, but for cheap, I couldn't resist. ![]() But it's Gauntlet, so I had to have it anyway. Anyway, having finally seen a cheap copy, I got it even though I knew I would almost certainly dislike it. By the time it came out I wasn't exactly surprised to see how bad it was. Soon afterwards Sawyer and Romero left the project, the PC version was canceled, and the alarm bells started ringing loud as it headed straight towards being a generic hack and slash game. Internal discord at Midway between Sawyer and John Romero (who was also working on the game at the time)'s RPG direction and a more simplistic hack and slash beat 'em up style advocated by others at the company got worse and worse as time went on, and reports of internal discord began to come out. Sawyer at the helm I knew it would almost certainly be good. I was never sure if it was really what I wanted (it seemed to be largely ignoring the style of Legends/Dark Legacy for something new even in the early Romero/Sawyer version, when it was supposed to have a good story, more RPG elements, and more. As a Gauntlet fan, I'm mostly comparing this to the Gauntlet games, not those.Īs a huge Gauntlet Legends and Dark Legacy fan, I'd been very interested in Seven Sorrows ever since it was announced. 2) I haven't played or have barely played most of the modern hack and slash beat 'em ups this is styled after - Onimusha (never played any), Ninja Gaiden (only played the original Xbox one, and even then just for a few minutes), God of War (don't have either, but I have played through the demo of God of War II, anyway. I will finish it, for sure, probably pretty quickly, but that's all I've played so far. īut anyway, that's quite an accomplishment, given how extremely low my expectations were!įirst, disclaimers - 1) I've only beaten three levels, though the first boss (the scarecrow). this atrocity doesn't deserve the attention. Or, how about you just go read my thread about Gauntlet Legends and Dark Legacy and bring it back? 23 posts isn't enough for such great games.
