Defeat The Enemy Hordes
Here in the present, Midway is attempting to revive the hack and slash genre with Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows on current-generation consoles, and hard-core fans of the original will not be disappointed. Seven Sorrows is just good old-fashioned, three-dimensional Gauntlet. You will hack and slash, and you will hack and slash some more.
In its attempt to bring Gauntlet up to date, however, Midway tries to add a strange storyline that just seems out of place. Please, bear with me here: the Emperor Ghost of the once mighty Uricointi Empire is cursed for betraying the four great immortal heroes, the Warrior, the Wizard, the Valkyrie and the Elf. Back in the day, the Emperor coveted the heroes very immortality and the Emperor's trusted six advisors convinced him to trap the heroes in the Great Tree Rit'i Malki, which "grew its very roots into the nexus of magical energy at the bottom of the world."
Jeez, who writes this stuff? Did Midway track down Tolkien's alcoholic cousin to pen the storyline? If you haven't already guessed, the advisors turn on the emperor, steal his power, enslave the world and transform themselves into evil forms like the Scarecrow and the Twisted Man. The Emperor, having seen the error of his ways, frees the four heroes and sends them after the six evil advisors to mend the sorrows he has wrought.
Between levels, the Emperor melodramatically narrates the story with his deep, booming voice, and there are some nice still-shot screens that show the four warriors moving on to their next obstacle. Try as they might, though, it's almost as if the people at Midway just haphazardly threw some story together just to have a story. The four heroes don't talk or have any personality, so there is no way to relate to the characters and no reason to care about what happens.
The heart of Seven Sorrows, like its predecessor, is the on-screen, hack and slash action, which can be a lot of fun. The four characters each have very different fighting styles, each equally enjoyable in their own way. The Warrior is a hulking brute with powerful combos and close attacks, with limited magic and projectile attacks. He wields a giant axe that has good range and looks pretty dang cool. The Valkyrie is a slippery little swashbuckler with a short sword and a strong projectile attack. The Elf is a swordfighter and uses a fencing style to stave off enemies. The Wizard uses his staff to cast spells and is the weakest physically of the four.
The controls are simple. There is a hack button, a slash button, a launch button, a projectile button and a block button. With the D-Pad you can use your magic attacks, known as Mana. There is also a Mana nuclear blast that knocks out all on-screen enemies and is necessary to take out Death when he makes an appearance. Yeah, for some reason, every so often when you open a chest, a giant grim reaper will appear and hurl purple fireworks at you until you Mana-blast him into oblivion.
Personally this game sucks
