In the February 1989 edition of White Wolf (Issue #14), Stewart Wieck was disappointed in this adventure, pointing out that "Unfortunately, there is little detective work or thought that needs to be done by the players. The characters are essentially able to feed a few bits of info a computer and the computer then solves the problem (ie. locates the bad guy's base). The characters then rush to the base and beat up the bad guys." Because of this, Wieck gave the adventure a below-average rating of 2 out of 5, saying, "Basically, while the "Enforcers" game system is good, I cannot recommend this module." [1]
