Reception

Rick Swan reviewed Eternal Soldier in Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer No. 85.[2] Swan commented that "I guess you know when you've got something good when the clones start crawling out of the woodwork. The latest serving of sincere flattery for Steve Jackson's GURPS is Eternal Soldier, a role-playing system for 'Adventures in Any Age' that is, sad to report, not even a nice try."[2]
