RPG games with similar interface & view to Eye of the Beholder?

s2325 · 03 October 2009, 17:23

I'm searching for RPG games with similar interface & view to Eye of the Beholder. Not Amiga only. Sega CD have really good version of EotB but techno music in fantasy game is not so good idea...

Hungry Horace · 03 October 2009, 17:25

Bloodwych ?
Dungeon Master ?
Captive ?
Liberation ?

that sort of thing? or more specifically "like" EoB? (and if so, in what way)

TCD · 03 October 2009, 17:30

Black Crypt
Abandoned Places
Dungeons of Avalon

eLowar · 03 October 2009, 17:58

There's also the Might and Magic series (on various platforms, mostly PC later on).

s2325 · 03 October 2009, 18:05

Might & Magic III on SNES have different interface, not so friendly.

I've been searching for the same type of RPG myself for a while now. I'm guessing you know all of them on the Amiga (like 'Crystal Dragon', etc).

A few for DOS would be:
LANDS OF LORE (naturally)

DUNGEON HACK

I've been checking out some RPGs on the SNES lately, most of them are in the JRPG style which I don't care for. Let me know if you come up with any good ones.

in doom style 3D:

(also: Thunderscape, wasn't bad, albeit a bit difficult to control)

but the best ones, imho are the usual ones, with Black Crypt above all of the clones; Ishar serie for the graphics, Hired Guns if you are on a real amiga with 2 mouses and a friend, Crystal Dragon.

Oh, and the Realms of Arkania (Das Schwarze Auge) series.

Edit: Also most (all?) of the (long) Wizardry series. Don't know about the console ones (as differences in the console versions of M&M were mentioned before).

The combat in that one is turn based though. It opens its own 'battle screen', so it's a bit different to the real time combat in EOB

True, battles are 3rd person isometric and involve turn-based movement (position, distance, etc. can matter). Wizardry (what I've played of the series) has a more classic battle system, though.

All Wizardy games (upto 8 that is) have a turn based system, which is presented in '3D'. Quite a nice mix of EOB and classic RPGs

Fine, fine.

I'll hereby confess that I'm really more into the console-style RPGs.

*walks away in shame*

Marcuz · 04 October 2009, 00:44

to my knowledge, EoB I and II have the most understandable fighting combat of them all: turn based games like Wizardry are really slow, in Black Crypt you don't really understand if you are damaging your opponent and it's a bit punitive at times... Ishar is a bit tricky (you move the mouse pointer around too much, plus the fatiguing system is an anvil tied to your legs...)

a new EoB would be very welcome...

TCD · 04 October 2009, 00:51

Oh yes, and the Ishar trilogy of course

Also Crystals Of Arborea (Ishar '0') might be worth a look.

Also Dungeon Master 2 - Legend of Skullkeep (http://hol.abime.net/444) should be mentioned.

stevsurv · 04 October 2009, 08:21

Try -
Pool of radiance
Curse of azure bonds
Secret of silver blades
Pools of darkness
Champions of krynn
Death knights of krynn
Dark queen of krynn
Gateway of the savage frontier
Treasures of the savage frontier
Buck rogers
Matrix cubed.

SSI boxed/gold boxed sets.

cheers

Stonekeep is good also, i might play it again myself.

coze · 04 October 2009, 10:47

I don't think gold box games could be considered similar interface with EOB. The combat engine is totally different and turn based.

I would suggest giving a go to might and magic series.
