Reception
- Famitsu was the first publication to score this game, giving it a 29 out of 40. The Famitsu reviewers agreed that the high points of the game were its graphics and controls; detracting from the experience somewhat was the in-game camera angle.
- Online gaming site GameSpot gave Days of the Blade a 6.4 in their review of the game, citing that while the game has excellent sound, graphics, and boss battle concepts, the actual level design and gameplay outside of the boss fights is somewhat weak.
- IGN also reviewed the game, giving it an overall score of 6.0/10; they too stated that the gameplay was unimpressive compared to the graphics and sound, giving it the lowest score of the five descriptors on their grading scale.
- X-Play gave the game a 2 out of 5, complaining about the lack of camera control, which causes difficulty determining where you should go next or where the enemy was.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
