Reception

William Peschel reviewed The Snow King's Bride in The Space Gamer No. 62. [2] Peschel commented that "The Snow King's Bride is a worthwhile investment for those who want a solo adventure." [2]

Oliver Dickinson reviewed SoloQuest 3: The Snow King's Bride for White Dwarf #42, giving it an overall rating of 8 out of 10, and stated that "I found this an extremely varied and enjoyable scenario, which could well provide an episode in the career of some favourite character." [3]

Steve List reviewed The Snow King's Bride for Different Worlds magazine and stated that "The Snow King's Bride is an excellent adventure, one that puts a premium on thought and role-playing rather than mere exercise of brute force. Its quality, in terms of entertainment value, exploitation of the game system, and employment of the diverse body of knowledge of the RuneQuest universe, make it a standard to be emulated by subsequent designs." [4]
