Developed by Midway, Gauntlet Legends arrived on the PlayStation in 2000 as a beat 'em up. It blends beat 'em up and action elements.
It landed about 5 years into the PS1's life. Other notable PS1 releases from 2000 include Final Fantasy IX, Rayman 2: The Great Escape and Spyro: Year of the Dragon. Among the 18 PS1 beat 'em ups in our database, it ranks #10 by legacy score.
It is part of the Gauntlet series. The series also appears on other systems with Gauntlet Legends (N64) and Gauntlet: The Third Encounter (Lynx). Midway also made Mortal Kombat 3 and Mortal Kombat: Special Forces for the PS1.
Gauntlet Legends supports up to 2 players, including cooperative play, which makes it a strong pick for playing with a friend.
Pick it if…
- you want to fight, blast and test your reflexes
- you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
- you want a game to beat together with a friend
Maybe skip it if…
- you want depth and variety over simple, satisfying brawling
What playing Gauntlet Legends is like
Beat 'em ups send you down scrolling streets fighting waves of thugs with punches, kicks, throws and grabbed weapons. Most can be finished in a single sitting and shine with a second player.
Tip for newcomers: Avoid getting surrounded: keep enemies on one side of you and save your special attacks for crowds. Bring a friend if the game supports co-op.
