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.
