In the end, Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows is merely a simple hack-and-slash action game that’s a worthwhile experience but it doesn’t really rise above the familiar 80s formula that made this such a classic back in the day. Yes we’ve played better games of similar genre - like Hunter: The Reckoning - but there’s a reason the original Gauntlet shows up in everything from the PSP to the Xbox 360. This is a classic that gets a slight gameplay and visual upgrade but if you’re looking for something altogether new you won’t find it here.
