Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows Review

1Up has posted their review of Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows, giving Midway’s newly released action RPG an overall score of 6.5/10. Here’s why:

In some key areas, Midway delivers. Sorrows nails the controls, making the repetitive hack-n-slash action enjoyable in a Dynasty Warriors kinda way, and multiplayer is mostly successful. Unfortunately, the graphics fail to impress, the story isn’t anything memorable, banging buttons is as effective as making use of the combos, and what should have been an epic quest can be completed by a novice gamer in around eight hours, with not much reason for replay. Suffice it to say, though perfectly enjoyable for a multiplayer lark, Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows won’t be anchoring Midway Arcade Treasures 8 some 15 years down the road.
