Pleasant Suprise

Looking for Gauntlet clone or just need to get a Diabolo fix, then this will certainly do. It does just about every thing you'd expect from a top-down shooter (ala Alien Breed.) The controls are some of the best twin-stick out there, smooth and variable, allowing for a level of precision the 8-direction shooters just can't match. The graphics are ok, but are a little flat. The entire games presentation could be significantly improved with even basic shadows, allowing the nice hand drawn art to pop where at the moment object appear paper thin. A game play tweak that is needed is to allow pickups to be stored until needed. Some of the buffs are cool, but I always seem to have them when I really don't need them. I played through the first 6~7 levels and only encountered two enemy types. I'm ok with that but not if the two units don't change behaviors as I progress. My interest in continuing declined as I saw that enemies were not changing as I went further; I was really yearning for a boss fight, but became bored with the game before I found one (if there are any.) So, why 4 stars then? It's the potential for this to be primetime. A few graphic tweaks and a more refined challenge/reward system and this could be awesome. -Grey Matter

Overall this game is pretty good for a mobile game. But please make this app universal to work with ipad. Also please make this game compatible with iCADE. This game is perfect for iCADE.

Wow. Just wow! When i went browsing the App Store for a Gauntlet game or clone thereof, a few popped out at me. But Catacombs was by far the most attractive and appealing of them all. And to top it all, it was free! The moment i downloaded the game and started playing, i was totally immersed in the game. Since this game follows a path more faithfully to a game like Gauntlet among others is that you collect gold for points, like Gauntlet. You also get to choose which character to play between a warrior, mage (Wizard), Archer (Elf), Thief (One short fall as opposed to a valkyrie) :) The game is free! Did i mention it is also free? and with all that, for just a measly 15mb download, it would be nuts NOT to get the game!
Amazing!

If Diablo and Gauntlet had a son it would be this.Fun right from the start and music is perfect for this style of game.More like this please!!!!!!
So far, So AWESOME

So far i am level 9 and in the dungeon, map 8. I have not played Diablo, but am a master at Gauntlet. Ever played Fate, the computer game? Well this is a mix of Fate and the Arcade Gauntlet, not Gauntlet Legends, but the old 2D Gauntlet. Hopefully im not being too repetitive but this is a good game
Awesome

This is a great game. One of the best dungeon crawlers out there, regardless of your skill level, you will find a setting that's comfortable,from casual players to hardcore gamers this is one we can all enjoy. A must have for anyone,period.

ok this game is good but it is basicly a very nice looking gauntlet right down to the keys,monster generators , invisible walls, even the power ups like bouncing shots where this improves on gauntlet is the mini map up top and the fact you can place stat points in different areas. the gold is used to buy the thief character but other than that there is no use picking it up it would be nice to see some items for sale to improve stats even more if you like gauntlet then by all means get this if your looking for a diablo substitute then keep looking
