of Australia's OZ Amiga called it "a light-hearted and funny adventure that appeals to almost everyone" and "one of the better releases of 1993." On the other hand, Ed Ricketts of Amiga Format called Curse of Enchantia "light years behind" Monkey Island with "no comparison" to Monkey Island 2, as "the textless interface just doesn't work - despite the designers' belief, you do need words" and there is "no humour to speak of, no genuinely amusing humour, anyway." Even as a preview in The One Amiga called it a "game set to rival even the mightiest of American adventures," the magazine's David Upchurch wrote that "the game lacks real humour and atmosphere. This may be partly due to the lack of text in the game - it's hard to relate to the characters you meet," and "although entertaining, Curse of Enchantia is to Monkey Island 2 what Smash is to mashed potato," that is "just a weaker substitute." Lee Perkins of The Age opined that "Curse of Enchantia might be seen as a mite disappointing by fantasy gamers with moderately sophisticated tastes." PC Gamer UK described it an "average generic fare" as "the graphics are pretty" but the game "lacks atmosphere and feels too much like a succession of annoyingly vague puzzles rather than an adventure story." In France, Curse of Enchantia was given the high ratings of 84% in Génération 4 (PC), and 90% / 91% (Amiga & PC) in Joystick. The game also received the scores 46/60 from Slovenian Moj Mikro, 79% from Sweden's Datormagazin, and 8/10 from Serbian Svet Igara. German magazine PC Player gave it only 38%, saying that the game may make the players "nostalgic for Sierra titles," but the reviews from other German magazines were generally better, including the scores of 8.3/12 in Amiga Magazin, 53/60 (Amiga & PC) in Aktueller Software Markt, 68% in both PC Joker and PC Games, 69% in Amiga Joker, 71% (Amiga) & 81% (PC) in Power Play, and 86% in Amiga Games. Italian magazines K and The Games Machine gave it their high scores of 802/1000 and 91%, respectively, with K noting the game as accessible for those not speaking English. Reception was also strong in Poland, where Curse of Enchantia was positively reviewed in C&A (95%) and Secret Service (77%), and featured among "the best adventure games" of 1992 (alongside Alone in the Dark, Indiana Jones IV
