Gauntlet DS: details and new screens

chautemoc | September 01, 2008 | Previews | DS 
If you're hankerin' for more Gauntlet, some news on the game's features are here, as well as a few new screens.

One of the most surprising features announced is Voiceover IP (VoIP), which will allow players to talk to each other while in the online play mode, making Gauntlet one of the very few titles to do so. There's also 40 maps across three realms, co-op play, and competitive multiplayer, which incorporates Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Treasure Hoard modes. The multiplayer is supported by local wireless or via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

Gauntlet DS is published by Eidos and developed by Backbone Entertainment, the studio behind a load of other modern updates and ports. The game releases this October!
Gauntlet is set in a fantasy-themed universe where evil cloaks the world from the high clouds of Ascendia to the depths of the lava-ridden Abyss. Players can choose from the four classic heroes, Elf, Warrior, Wizard, and Valkyrie, each with their own strengths, weaknesses and special abilities. Throughout the journey, the heroes will slash their way through demonic foes and gain up to four power move abilities to aid them in their battle with evil.

“With Gauntlet we’ve revitalised all of the action and fun of the original 1980s arcade classic, whilst updating the visuals and gameplay for today’s DS gamer,” said Ray Livingston, Brand Manager at Eidos. “With four-player Wi-Fi cooperative mode, one of the most memorable multiplayer gaming experiences of all time is back with a bang.”

    Oooohhh, I like the idea of voice chatting during a game, there aren't many DS games with that feature.
