Reception and legacy

Jugem [ja] promoted the game as being entertaining for both children and adults.[5] Obscure Video Games, a website that covers games that are not widely known by English speakers, strongly recommended it.[6]

Gan Dōjō 2, a website dedicated to airsoft, praised the game, reporting that its rules have a realistic approach to the sport.[7] Survival Navigation, another specialized airsoft website, regarded it as a hidden gem for the console.[8]

The title received an English-language fan translation in 2004.[9]

It was added to Project EGG, a licensed emulation platform, in February 2011.[10][11]
