Next Generation reviewed the game, rating it two stars out of five, and stated that "The instruction book helpfully supplies maps to the first four levels, but there's not a lot of variance to the scenery no matter how deep you delve, and its brightly lit corridors reveal a total lack of atmosphere or any distinctive style. It's competent, but no better."[4]
