PS2 version of the classic Gauntlet arcade game, offering cooperative dungeon crawling for up to four players. Procedural levels and frantic action remain fun even if production shows its age. Ideal for local multiplayer sessions with friends in a nostalgic arcade spirit.

Description
A PS2 conversion of the 1998 Atari arcade, released in 2001 by Midway. A four-player loot-run hack-and-slash, the direct heir of the 1985 Gauntlet but with a more pronounced RPG layer. Knight, sorceress, archer, warrior: the arcade formula still shines in co-op.

Gauntlet - Dark Legacy (PS2) price, value & rarity
Is Gauntlet - Dark Legacy still worth playing in 2026?
A hack and slash action RPG from Midway, Gauntlet Dark Legacy carries over the cult arcade formula of four player dungeon crawling, with classes of distinct powers, hordes of enemies and a frantic gathering of treasures and keys. The immediate fun, the cooperative chaos and the readability of the action make for an ideal convivial vent in multiplayer. The repetition over time and a certain simplicity are worth knowing. An arcade hack and slash to recommend for fans of snappy co-op and no fuss dungeon crawling.
