Gauntlet IV is a 1993 action video game developed by M2 and published by Tengen for the Sega Genesis.
Gauntlet IV features four different modes with different game play styles: "Arcade mode", a port of the original arcade game, which has up to four players exploring a sequence of dungeons shooting at masses of enemies with projectile weapons, collecting keys to open locked doors and finding potions that wipe out all enemies onscreen.
The players health decreases constantly as the game progresses and has to be replenished by collecting food items and each stage often has multiple exits which send you to different levels.

Upon the game's release in 1993, MegaTech said that "the action is flawless" and had stood the test of time well.
