In Japan, "Famicom Tsūshin" gave the SNES and Genesis versions each a score of 22 out of 40. "Electronic Gaming Monthly" gave the former console version a score of 7.125 out of 10, saying that the game's controls and graphics are surprisingly solid, and that the somewhat mindless and repetitive gameplay is relieved by the inclusion of secret areas and the variety of weapons. "GamePro" commented that the graphics and music are mediocre, but that "the action gets frantic but never unbearable" and the game serves as an enjoyable throwback to overhead action adventure games like "Zombies Ate My Neighbors" and "Soldiers of Fortune". Their review of the Genesis version stated it to be "identical to the recent SNES version". A reviewer for "Next Generation" was also pleased with the Genesis version, remarking that the game is fun to play and true to the film it is based on. He gave it three out of five stars, concluding it to be "not incredibly original or pretty, just surprisingly fun".
