Reception

Howard Thompson reviewed BattleFleet Mars in The Space Gamer No. 12.[1] Thompson commented that "the game disappointed me because it seemed to promise so much. It isn't a great game, just an average game that may have started out to be great."[1] Lynn David Wolpert reviewed BattleFleet Mars in The Space Gamer No. 13.[2] Wolpert commented that "I would say to take the game at face value. It has its good points and bad points, yet achieves the goals it sets upon itself."[2]

Eric Goldberg reviewed BattleFleet Mars in Ares Magazine #1, rating it an 8 out of 9.[3] Goldberg commented that "Every time there is a battle, it may be resolved using the tactical game, or via a simplified strategic version. BattleFleet Mars remains one of the better science fiction games."[3]
