The Electric Playground
- Review by Jules Grant, 6/10. "Actual gameplay also fails to live up to the graphics. In short, Colony Wars Vengeance is pretty from far but far from pretty."

The Brunswickan
- Review by Michael Edwards, 4.5/5. "There is so much focus on detail in Colony Wars: Vengeance that the difficulty seems to have been neglected - this is one of the toughest games around, and sometimes not in a good way."

- Review by Martin, 91%. "It also has an unprecedented depth of gameplay for a title in this genre and you'll play it for a very long time."
