JeuxVideo thought the game brought originality to the real-time strategy genre, though thought its interface was too simple.[2] Craig Vaughan of PC Zone negatively compared it to Magic and Mayhem and Warhammer: Dark Omen, though praised its gothic soundtrack.[3] Mithnar of Polish review site Gry Online praised the "active pause" feature.[4] Russian Michael Kalinchenko of Absolute Games hoped that adventure game company Cryo would stop making attempts at titles in the strategy genre.[5]
