Gameplay

Celtic Tales: Balor of the Evil Eye is a strategy game in which the player is a Celtic chieftain.[1]

Reception

Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "As well made as it is [...] Balor is not for everyone. The game's intense complexity of play will make it unaccessible for all but the most devoted and persistent of strategy gurus. If you're the kind of player who likes to rip into a game without the instruction manual, this game will leave you completely cold."[1] Computer Game Review was strongly positive, awarding the game a "Golden Triad" score. The magazine's Tasos Kaiafas wrote, "For a game that involves many hours to reach the end, Celtic Tales should hold your interest all the way to the finish."[2]
