The original 1985 Gauntlet has plenty of memorable elements: An iconic quartet of co-op heroes, the hunt for keys, and badly-needed food. The 2014 remake pays proper respect, but it lacks the bravery to add the variety to make it worth playing more than a couple of times in the post coin-op era.
Credit must be given for making the same foursome feel different. The Warrior can dish massive damage to enemy generators and tougher foes up close, while also taking his fair share of hits, too. The Valkyrie's dashing stab and Captain America-like shield throw give her some ranged attacks to complement her decent melee. The Elf controls more like a twin-stick shooter character firing infinite arrows from afar, though he can drop or shoot an explosive with far less frequency due to its countdown and cooldown periods.
