She stated that the graphics were inferior to the previous games', that "Aurally, the game is a nightmare", and that the "big fight at the end is a letdown".
Unfortunately, for several reasons, that isn't the case".
Computer Gaming World 's Scorpia wrote that since the game "is the closeout of the EOB series, one would expect it to be on the spectacular side. GameSpy commented that " Eye of the Beholder III was a classic example of a company churning out a quick sequel to a good game and simply not giving it the love and care it really deserves".
EYE OF THE BEHOLDER 3 MAPS SERIES
The Eye of the Beholder series overall, including the game's two predecessors, reached combined global sales above 350,000 units by 1996. SSI sold 50,664 copies of Eye of the Beholder III. Both games share the same enemy sprites, graphics, and sound effects. The game uses the AESOP engine which later used in Dungeon Hack. Westwood had been acquired by Virgin Interactive in 1992 and they created the Lands of Lore series instead. The explorable areas include the forest around the city, the mausoleum, and finally the city ruins including a mage guild and a temple.ĭespite employing an updated version of the engine, interesting and oft-unique NPC selection and welcome gameplay tweaks such as an 'All Attack' button and the ability to use polearms from second rank, it was not well received.Įye of the Beholder III: Assault on Myth Drannor was not developed by Westwood, the developer of Eye of the Beholder and The Legend of Darkmoon, but rather in-house by the publisher SSI. After the heroes accept the quest, the mysterious man teleports the heroes just outside Myth Drannor. The man then tells the heroes that they need to save Myth Drannor by getting an ancient artifact from the Lich known as the Codex. After that, a mysterious man enters the tavern and asks the heroes to save the ruined city, Myth Drannor, which is ruled by a Lich named Acwellan. After defeating Dran the heroes tell the patrons of a local tavern about their success over Dran Draggore and how it saved the town.
