"Next Generation" reviewed the AES version of the game and stated that "Although moves are difficult to pull off, "ADK"'s crisp look and powerful action make it well worth the trouble." "Next Generation" also reviewed the Neo Geo CD version, stating that despite SNK marketing the game as a 3D fighter, it is purely 2D, and that the ability to fight in multiple planes, while a decent effort at innovation, ultimately has little impact on the gameplay. He concluded that "From graphics to moves to sound effects, almost every element in this game is more-or-less average and is not likely to stand out from the enormous 2D fighting library of Neo-Geo."
