Gauntlet 2 is proof that sequels sometimes mean “more of the same, but louder.” The 1989 upgrade takes the chaotic dungeons of the original and adds new enemies, nastier traps, and more opportunities to yell at your friends for hogging the turkey leg. Ever wanted to be turned into a moron by a magic spell? Now you can. Ever wanted to fight Death itself armed only with a bow and questionable reflexes? Here’s your chance. It’s messy, it’s frantic, and it will definitely ruin friendships—but in the best possible way.
Zero Magazine issue 4 (1990) - "Warriors, Valkyries, Wizards and Elves are pitted against such monsters as ghosts, grunts, demons and...erm, death - a hooded nasty from Darth Vader school of designer knitwear. Acid puddles wander around aimlessly (don't they always?), thieves come nick your gear and life seems to end with alarming regularity. Superb gameplay, a lasting challenge...it all adds up to a classic package. Gauntlet II is worth a brown crispy one from anybody's wallet."
