Retro Gamer, an influential retrogaming publication, chose the game as one of the best PC-FX titles for international players, praising its action and detailed sprites. In a special publication, Hardcore Gaming 101 labeled it as a homage to 1970s mecha anime, highlighting the fact that it has FMV cutscenes, which were the focus of Dengeki PC Engine's coverage about the game. The first volume of Retro Gaming History, a Chinese publication, dedicated multiple pages to the game.
