Gauntlet IV
圣铠传说4
Gauntlet IV is a four-player cooperative dungeon crawler released in 1993 by Tengen for the Sega Genesis. Players select from multiple character classes—Warrior, Elf, Wizard, and Valkyrie—each with distinct abilities and attributes. The game presents top-down maze-like dungeons filled with hordes of enemies, treasures, and environmental hazards. Players must navigate these labyrinths, defeat monsters, collect keys to progress through doors, and consume food items to maintain health. The gameplay emphasizes real-time combat and cooperative strategy, as players face increasingly difficult enemy waves. Multiple difficulty levels and stage progressions provide varied challenges. Gauntlet IV maintains the core arcade formula while adapting it for console play, featuring multiple levels with distinct themes and boss encounters.
