of GameSpot criticized the control of the Japanese import, stating that "One of the main problems with the game is the control. The addition of jump, guard, and strafe functions may sound like a good idea, but it's actually the cause of the problem." In the same review, the game's visuals and animations were also criticized, with the reviewer stating, "The motion of D drawing and putting away his sword is good, but many other animations are poor." Chet Barber of NextGen said, "Being fans of the anime, we really wanted to like the game. But even fans should avoid this at all costs." In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 26 out of 40.
