Dungeons & Dragons: Eye of the Beholder is a classic dungeon crawler that challenges the player to lead a party of adventurers on a quest for fame and fortune in a world based on Forgotten Realms , a Dungeons & Dragons universe.
The party will scour the dark underbelly of Waterdeep for an evil source of power that threatens the streets above. Nary an hero would dare step into these dungeons alone, so the player must create a party of up to six adventurers from four base classes (Wizard, Rogue, Cleric and Fighter) and seven races (Human, Half-Elf, Half-Orc, Moon Elf, Lightfoot Halfling, Rock Gnome and Shield Dwarf). All are based on character types from the Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition license.
The game features a first-person view that draws the player into the role of adventurer, with an auto-map feature to help navigate the complex mazes. Turn-based battles switch to an isometric overhead perspective, where each character can be assigned commands for moving, attacking and spell-casting. Characters can also learn over 100 unique skills, feats, and spells from the Dungeons and Dragons 3rd Edition rules.
Success depends on constantly upgrading equipment, assigning new spells and reordering the group. Over 100 items, both magical and ordinary, will keep the player adventuring for hours.
Dungeons & Dragons: Eye of the Beholder was released on Game Boy Advance in December 2002.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this urban fantasy action-adventure, players take on the role of a trusted agent in the perilous city of Waterdeep, where a resurgent thieves' guild and united monsters have plunged the streets into chaos. Tasked by Lord Piergeiron to restore order, the player descends into the city's dangerous sewers and tunnels to uncover the source of the lawlessness and combat the nefarious Xanathar's Guild.
Story
Waterdeep, The City of Splendors
The tranquility of Waterdeep has been destroyed. Thieves, assassins, kidnappers, and monsters emerge under the cover of night. Inhabitants of Undermountain, once warring factions, are now united in choking the city with lawlessness.
Citizens are no longer safe to move about the streets at night. They call for action from the Lords of Waterdeep to end this menace.
The Xanathar's Guild
The name "Xanathar" has reemerged in clues uncovered by the City Watch. The Xanathar's Guild, a powerful thieves' guild driven from the city years ago, is back. They now direct the activities that have made nights in Waterdeep unsafe.
Representatives of the Lords' Alliance have arrived from Silvermoon, Neverwinter, and other cities. This organization was formed to oppose the notorious guild. They know the Xanathar's Guild is not operating alone.
The Request
Piergeiron the Paladinson has requested your immediate presence at Castle Waterdeep. Upon arrival, he is accompanied by strange men who scrutinize you intensely. He notes that you are skilled and loyal to Waterdeep, qualities needed in these times.
He explains that the guild has used the sewers and tunnels beneath the city to hide their activities. The City Watch is undermanned, so he entreats you to descend into the sewers to uncover and destroy the source of the woes. You will be escorted to the sewer entrance.
A great evil is near...

How to Play
THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER WORLD
Eye of the Beholder is a role-playing adventure based on the popular Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition game rules and an original story created for this game. The action takes place in the sewers and catacombs beneath the City of Waterdeep in the Forgotten Realms game world.
Exploration in Eye of the Beholder is from your point of view in 3D. Watch the walls pass by as you move through the sewers beneath the ancient city of Waterdeep. Find and manipulate buttons and switches to solve mysterious puzzles. Unlock and open doors and chests. Disarm traps. Battle monsters. Negotiate with merchants or use the services of a friendly healer. Check your map to make sure you don't get lost in the treacherous mazes.
Once you have engaged in battle, the screen will switch to an isometric combat view. Attack by using the weapons your characters have in their hands, or cast spells by using your cleric's divine powers and your wizard's arcane secrets. Those in the front of the party can combat with weapons such as swords and maces, while characters in the rear ranks may attack with spells or ranged weapons such as bows and slings.
BUILDING A PARTY
You must generate four characters to have a complete party before you go into the dungeon. There are four pre-generated characters for you to choose from, or you can create your own. A good mix of races and classes is recommended for completing the adventure.
Fighters can deal with the many horrors that block your path with their armor and swords. Clerics and Wizards support the quest with their magical abilities - Clerics have powerful divine magic for healing and protection, while Wizards attack with mystic arcane forces. Rogues are handy when progress is barred by a locked door or chest for which the party has no key; they can also disarm the many traps that will confront you. Read the CHARACTERS section for more information on selecting members of your party.
