The 1988 issue of Antic commended the sequel for its straightforward yet captivating gameplay, adaptable interface, and lack of copy protection measures. Conversely, Computer Gaming World awarded the game just over two stars out of five in their 1992 and 1994 reviews, commenting that while it was enjoyable at launch, its visual presentation had become outdated.
Robbie Robberson evaluated the game in Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer, characterizing the series as having potential but being limited by sluggish combat sequences. He recommended enhancements to the combat system to raise the series to must-have status for dedicated gamers; as it was, he found the games entertaining initially but prone to becoming monotonous.
