Play Celtic Tales: Balor of the Evil Eye Online

Celtic Tales: Balor of the Evil Eye came out in 1995 as part of the MS-DOS Classic Games lineup, developed and published by KOEI. It arrived during a time when top-down adventure games were common, and it drew from Irish mythology in a way that felt fresh, even among other fantasy titles of the era.

You choose a hero, warrior, druid, or bard, and guide them through screen-by-screen exploration, engaging in turn-based combat where positioning and ability selection matter. Your main goal is to gather allies from different clans and ultimately confront Balor, whose giant eye can petrify your party. The pacing is deliberate, with resource management and careful movement required in dungeons and overworld travel. It feels like a thoughtful, sometimes tense journey where every decision carries weight.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
