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:
“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)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
