Review

This is a Gauntlet clone with some very light adventure/RPG elements, i.e. you collect gold in the dungeons, which you can bring back to a central hub area to spend on equipment and stat upgrades. This game is brutally hard, and will require long hours grinding gold to progress past each area. But it's kind of fun to do this with a friend, and the vibes are excellent. It has a CD-quality soundtrack that probably isn't what people mean when they say "Dungeon Synth", but that's how I think of it. That's mostly what makes this game memorable to me.

These piles of gold in the central hub area repopulate every time you leave the screen and come back; unfortunately, it's way more efficient to do that over and over than to actually play the game.
