The Dreamcast version received "generally unfavourable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[6] GameSpot described it as a second-rate House of the Dead clone.[9] IGN cited a confusing storyline, poor visuals, and new gameplay mechanics which prevent the game from offering any sort of challenge.[11] Game Informer said that it "gives you plenty of targets, but no real reason to keep pulling the trigger."[8] Eric Bratcher of NextGen called it "A typical gun game with typical gun game problems: It's too short, too redundant, and too similar to everything else out there. Only the NRA would lobby for this one."[12] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 25 out of 40.[7]
Also in Japan, Game Machine listed the arcade version in their 1 January 2001 issue as the thirteenth most-popular dedicated arcade game of the year 2000.[14]
Series
The first game in the series, Death Crimson, was released in 1996 for the Sega Saturn. A sequel, Death Crimson 2: Meranito no Saidan, was released in 1999 for the Dreamcast. Both games were exclusive to Japan. Death Crimson 2 received an English fan translation patch in 2024.[15]
