"The Gauntlet franchise has been making gamers' thumbs blister and ache for years with its 4 player co-op and intense hack-n-slash combat, and Seven Sorrows absolutely takes the addictive core gameplay to the next level," said Steve Allison, chief marketing officer, Midway. "While staying true to the franchise's roots, Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows also features a deeper gameplay mechanic that allows player progression, all-new combos and attacks, and for the first time ever, takes it all online."

Centuries ago, four immortal heroes set out to kill the most powerful emperor their age had ever known. They failed, and for their crimes, three were crucified on a great tree at the bottom of the world. Mysteriously set free, the heroes set out to finish what they had started, only to find that they must now save their tormentor from his own dreams and madness. Driven to grief by seven acts of deep cruelty and selfishness, the emperor seeks to undo the one that pains him the most: the murder of his lover, Cusirimay. If the ancient heroes cannot undo the emperor's deeds on their own, his mad plans may tear apart the world.

Seven Sorrows is the fusion of fantasy fighting action with the strategy of user-friendly RPG elements , providing gamers a deep, engaging gameplay experience complete with solo play, co-op and an online community. The new fighting system allows for easy pick-up-and-play while simultaneously offering deeper choices for more advanced players. Additionally, online RPG and collection elements add significant replay value to the game. Breathing new life into four classic heroes, the Elf, Warrior, Wizard and Valkyrie, Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows is packed with fantasy fighting action, with each of the main characters featuring multiple weapons skills that are unique to their class.
