Mage Gauntlet is the sort of game that should have Nintendo rethinking their policies on bringing their wonderful, vibrant catalog of games to mobile devices. This 90s-flavored, action role-playing game isn’t just a small snack, in the metaphor of filling entertainment, it is a full three-course meal.

Thanks to the gauntlet, Lexi can use spells she discovers on her search for Whitebeard’s mages. These spells are essentially one-time use power-up items. She also discovers new weapons to equip, items, clothes and hats. All of these things provide different sorts of bonuses when they are being used.
