It’s also a pain in the ass when one of your characters croaks. The hit detection is also pretty bad until you achieve higher levels and locate magical weapons. The pace in battle can be excruciatingly slow, especially if you encounter numerous enemies, and you have to slowly move your team one square at a time to reach the bad guys. Although, I do enjoy hearing the death cries of baddies and monsters. There’s no music, really there’s a theme that plays when you first begin the game, and it’s actually very fitting, but then as you play, the game is mostly silent except for various sound effects, which don’t really add much. If you’re looking for a mindless but aesthetically pleasing dungeon crawler, Eye of the Beholder is a great way to go.
You can also choose skills for your characters, which can allow you to disarm traps, fall safely through pits, climb up pits, and detect hidden passages. You also have access to a map that develops as you traverse numerous corridors and hallways. The various levels of the dungeon do vary in color and texture, so you can easily recognize your path. While there is no information on your team, it is up to you to employ your imagination and role play, something probably best done on a table top, but nevertheless, the game is quite fun. It’s a simple game with a simple story line, and a very “Dungeons and Dragons” feel to it. There are also numerous factions such as kobolds and drow elves who have been manipulated by the beholder. Throughout your adventure, you come across a group of dwarves who have been struggling to defeat the beast. Your goal is to venture to the very depths of the dungeon, locate the evil known as Xanathar, and defeat it in order to end its reign of terror. In the GBA version of Eye of the Beholder, you create a party of warriors, enter a dungeon, and then the entrance collapses, thus sealing you inside. Obviously the beholder still exists, but it has decided to wait patiently for your arrival. The GBA version has some changes, mostly in the battle system, but there are others such as a lack of a beholder, a gruesome ball like, fleshy, multi eyed beast, which can find your party of warriors just about anywhere. Eye of the Beholder is a Dungeons and Dragons game originally released for the SNES.
