PC Zone gave the game a score of 7.4 out of 10 stating "It's not a bad game by any means; it simply just doesn't distinguish itself from the pack. As Ron Pickering used to say to the losing team on the programme We Are The Champions, that's just 'hard lines".[8]
Games Domain said "SandWarriors would have been a good action game. As it is, there are too many flaws to make it worth buying".[13]
