This is the worst kind of review to do. On paper, a game does just about everything right. But one or two big details bring the entire experience down from what it should be.

You could visualize Companions as a more tactical, less action-oriented Gauntlet where you control all the characters. You don't get the hundreds of enemies that infested the catacombs of Gauntlet, but you get to manage all four dungeoneers, each with their own attacks and inventory.
