Gauntlet II | Nintendo Entertainment System Releases | NintendoReporters

 [![Gauntlet II](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/gauntlet-ii.jpeg "Gauntlet II")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/gauntlet-ii.jpeg)The gameplay is very similar to the original Gauntlet, a topdown dungeon crawl supporting up to four players. The biggest difference from the original game is that players can choose identical classes, instead of being limited to a particular one for each joystick; the players being differentiated by colors. Thus, instead of having a “warrior”, “wizard”, and “valkyrie” (for instance), in Gauntlet II there could be a “red wizard”, a “blue elf” and a “green warrior”.
