Not all the changes in this newest Gauntlet are offensive. Players will now have some defensive options as well. (Defense?? In Gauntlet?? Sacrilege!!) Characters can block, evade, and even teleport to avoid taking damage. Even with these additions, the most noticeable change to the combat system is that there are no longer health potions. Not less, NONE. Instead of quaffing potions, players will absorb life energy from fallen foes. Simply by pressing a button, the character can absorb the life energy for himself, or back off and allow his compatriots to absorb it as needed. Obviously, the amount of health players can gain is limited by the number of dead enemies.
