"Although the idea to port a multiple platform version of Gauntlet sounds great, this is very problematic. Whatever version you choose will take you to a broken arcade port where controls stick, items missing, enemies are mindless drones &;you don`t even have energy! Even the music is from Gauntlet II & death that appears on Level 8 is from the Spectrum version?! Buying the full version is the only option yet you need to watch videos??! Sounds are also wrong. This shouldn`t have been released."

"It`s does a decent job at replicating the look of the game but the onscreen direction pad is no substitute for a joystick. You should change it to click to move so the player can just click on where they want to go."

"So happy to finally see this in the play store! Thank you for replying to my review. I don`t use any xbox or ps controllers. Just the on screen touch screen controls, so I have no idea how those affect performance."

"Would be better with the original NES controller instead of the oversized transparent joystick and I miss the voices ``the valkyrie shot the food``. I selected the female valkyrie and got the male valkyrie. But ahhhhhh the memories. A few bug fixes and we`re in business :-)"

"When I played the original arcade game back in the 80`s alI I needed was one to two quarters in the slot, and it would last me over 2 hours (using the Wizard) and passing level 100. This game is a little tougher and the monsters are faster and solid food can be shot at and destroyed. Suggestion: an ``easy`` setting to slow down monster generation & speed. I am unable to tell if the game characters have their own unique strengths (elf=speed, thor=attack etc). Custom maps looks like a cool feature."

"Back to the 80s with this classic. Excellent version for mobile. Keeps true to the feel of the original, except I dont have to fill up a machine with 10p pieces! Would be nice to add the voice overs like `Elf needs food badly`. And the voices of characters as they battle."

"Hey developer, I`ve read the other reviews hoping I would find some hope for fixing the issue with the controls but found you telling then they where wrong and saying that`s not how the game works, but I still struggle with the controls. OK so I figured it out. You need to pull your finger away from the control pad very far, and just circle around the controls"

"Complete nostalgia made me purchase. Graphics are spot-on, but that control system! Noooooooo! UNPLAYABLE. If this was a favourite back in the day. I was ready to smash out hours of nostalgia goodness. But, that control system wrecks it, does not go where you want it to, time and time again. Author says he fixed the controls last year, but I call bullship! DO NOT BUY. I can`t get a refund now, so disappointed. Dev contacted 16th Feb me telling me not give a bad review. How about coding a playable control system instead of being a fuchtard."

"This looks like it`s going to be awesome. It`s got the feel and the look... but you basically can`t play it. The controller is so dysfunctional you can thumb one direction and literally go the exact opposite. Fix the controller please."

DESCRIPTION
Gauntlet is a fantasy-themed hack and slash dungeon type game originally released in 1985.
Bring back a little bit of the 1980`s nostalgia gaming with this ``Gauntlet Clone``, hack and slash your way through Arcade, Custom (user-designed maps or developer), ZXSpectrum,NES levels of warrant mayhem and destruction.
Take the lead of one of the main characters Warrior (Thor), Valkyrie (Thyra), Wizard (Merlin) or Elf (Questor) and pick your wits against ghosts, grunts, demons and others, it`s your turn to remember what gaming was all about in that classic time period of 1985.
Design
In this current version, large amounts effort has been made to make the graphics feel more 1985, what with new UI graphics been designed and use less smoothing, also the underpinning of the game has been redesigned, from the ground up this is the biggest change since it’s first release in 2016.
Gamepads
In this current version “October 2020” gamepad controllers have been implemented tested devices are XBOX, PS4, and 8BitDo, other controllers may work. If lag is an issue and you can do so plug it directly into the device, as it’s a fast-paced game so everything can keep up.
Map Editor
I`ve added the facility to make your own maps using a Custom Map Editor. You can download this from the website, why not get a little fame when others play your level(s) you have created, all we need is a level name, your developer name, and a description if you want, just create them and send the maps to use, a complete explanation is provided.
Game Play
The game will work on any resent device, but the larger device “none gamepad” you can use the better, as the sensitivity is key here; the game has been played on multitude of real devices form 6-10 inch, and the larger the screen the better the experience.
Be aware that the controls work like the original (I cannot emphasis this enough), you cannot move and fire at the same time, if you want this feature, go to the main settings and change Classic to Modern (as requested by users).
Every effort is made to release new content in a timely matter.
Ads System:
There is an internal ad system but YOU, make the choice to use it or not, if your health is low, also the ad system is NOT pre-initialised so your data tariff is safe until you need to use the ads, but because of this they will take longer to start.
have fun and keep playing.

RECENT CHANGES
Added in a modern version of the new touch control system, it can be changed by going to the settings dialog and changing it from classic to modern, it makes it less harsh, also updated the settings dialog to make it easier to change the settings.
By updating the settings dialog, I've also reworded some of the information to be more descriptive.
Add two new NES maps.
Also updated some of the monster code, to make it more responsive.
Also takes into account the armour better of the hero.
