Reception

David Ladyman reviewed Attack of the Mutants! in The Space Gamer No. 41. [1] Ladyman commented that "The graphics are distinct and colorful, although it can be annoying that the counters are too large for some of the rooms. The game is probably worth [the price], especially if creature-features are your kind of show." [1]

Lewis Pulsipher reviewed Attack of the Mutants in The Space Gamer No. 43. [2] Pulsipher commented that "Considering how little skill is involved, the presentation seems unnecessarily complicated. For completists only." [2]
