Bruce F. Webster reviewed Outpost Gamma in The Space Gamer No. 44. [2] Webster commented that "I recommend Outpost Gamma without reservations. Like Ogre and GEV , you will get far more than your money's worth." [2]
Steve List reviewed Outpost Gamma in Ares Magazine #12 and commented that "its system is not one which admits (or encourages) developing home-brew scenarios as does Star Soldier. Outpost Gamma is not worth a visit." [3]
In a retrospective review of Outpost Gamma in Black Gate , Sean McLachlan said "While the game balance was somewhat poor, we enjoyed playing. If we play this one again, though, I'll have to come up with a more balanced scenario." [4]
