Gauntlet IV brings the definitive arcade dungeon-crawling experience to the Sega Genesis. Released in 1993 by Tengen, it serves as a near-perfect port of the original arcade classic, complete with a legendary chiptune soundtrack by Hitoshi Sakimoto. Choose from four iconic heroesโthe Warrior, Valkyrie, Wizard, or Elfโand navigate massive, monster-filled mazes to survive as long as you can.
How to Play
Your objective is to find the exit in each maze while defeating hordes of monsters and managing your continuously depleting health. Food restores health, potions clear the screen of enemies, and keys unlock doors to new areas.
- D-Pad: Move your character
- A / B / C: Attack / Use magic
- Start: Pause game
(In your browser, D-pad maps to arrow keys; A/B/C map to Z/X/C; Start maps to Enter.)
Tips
- Don’t shoot the food: Your attacks can destroy the food on the ground. Be careful where you aim when you’re low on health!
- Destroy monster generators: Prioritize taking out the piles of bones and monster spawners, as enemies will infinitely respawn until their source is gone.
- Manage your keys: Keys are limited. Don’t waste them on doors that only lead to dead ends or optional areas unless there’s valuable food or treasure inside.
