As they progress through the dungeon, they learn that a Beholder by the name of Xanathar is behind all of this evil and is planning to take over Waterdeep. Not far into the underground labyrinth, part of the tunnel collapses and the adventurers are sealed off with no other option than to explore and fight their way through hordes of monsters. It seems as though some evil is brewing below the city and the group immediately sets off into the sewers. The general success of the series led to the release of the Eye of the Beholder Trilogy for the PC in 1995, and the games were also included in the collection Gamefest: Forgotten Realms Classics which was released in 2001 by Interplay.Įye of the Beholder opens with a group of adventurers who have been summoned to the city of Waterdeep. Its streamlined approach to the genre made it more accessible, as did the ports of the first game for the SNES and Sega CD. While Eye of the Beholder doesn’t revolutionize the genre in any way, it still remains one of SSI’s more well-known and successful series. Though some characters are reoccurring throughout the series, the narrative seems to have taken a back seat and serves no true purpose rather than to give you reason to hack through monsters. The story is then introduced through a short cutscene, and your band of explorers are then thrown into some dungeon. You can take time to create a party of four adventurers, or choose to import characters from the previous games a feature that was incorporated into various other SSI games. This does add some strategy to how you can approach battles, but ultimately running up to most enemies and simply attacking with your melee characters is all you need to do for most encounters.Įach game usually begins the same way. The characters in the front row take most of the damage, and can attack with standard melee weapons, while those in the rear can throw weapons or cast spells without being in harm’s way unless, of course, the enemy attacks you from behind. As long as you can see the enemy, you can immediately begin combat with long range attacks as you approach the same goes for your adversaries. Fights are triggered as you approach enemies without the need to ever enter a battle sequence.
