Hailing the game as "a dream come true" for "Dungeons & Dragons" fans, "Electronic Gaming Monthly" gave the Super NES version a 6.2 out of 10, praising its 3-D graphics and variety of characters. They gave the Sega CD version a 7.2 out of 10, this time praising the ability to create custom characters but criticizing the audio. They also remarked that the game has a difficult learning curve. While reviewing the Sega CD version, "Computer and Video Games" said it is "Not quite up there with "Snatcher", but without doubt a highly ace role-player".
