Sometimes it feels like the odds are forever stacked against the Gauntlet franchise, but in this video, I do my part to talk about why Gauntlet: Dark Legacy in particular is such a special game and is deserving of a comeback. Whether that ends up being a simple remaster, a complete, from the ground up remake with new bells and whistles, or a true sequel to the game, I would be happy. Dark Legacy is a four-player powerhouse of a game with interesting locations and characters, and thanks to the emergence in popularity of sword-and-shield heavy games like Demon's Souls and Hades, as well as co-op focused experiences like Vampire Survivors, Vermintide II, and more recently, Helldivers 2, I think there is a niche to carve out that a new 3D Gauntlet entry could uniquely fulfill. Now is a better time than ever.

Special thanks to my friend Tristin for providing footage of Diablo III, since I can't seem to find my copy anywhere, as well as educating me on the glory that is Gauntlet Slayer Edition. Additional thanks to DannyKhan419, who made the up-res texture pack for Dark Legacy that is featured occasionally in this video. The EarthBound text boxes I used were from a generator made by Bill Eager, a legend in the Mother community.
