Reception edit

Crash magazine wrote that the game was "good value", complimenting its tone as "atmospheric" and "chilling".[5] British magazine Home Computing Weekly reported that Planet of Death followed a traditional adventure format. The magazine depicted the parser as fast but primitive. Editor Ray Elder judged that solving the game's puzzles was a very satisfying experience for him, make him "love" the game.[6]
