Reception

Aaron Allston reviewed Enemies in The Space Gamer No. 47. [1] Allston commented that "Buyers wanting to see interesting and useful applications of Champions character-building would do well to pick this up." [1]

Pete Tamlyn reviewed Enemies I for Imagine magazine, and stated that "the designers manage to demonstrate their awareness of the importance of atmosphere by giving each character an interesting background. Even so I would not normally recommend anyone with a decent imagination to bother with this, were it not for the fact that the villains get used elsewhere." [2]
