Jugabilidad

The first Joe Blade title portrayed Blade as a lone commando sent into an evil mastermind’s complex to release a number of diplomats.

Recepción

Ron Stewart for Page 6 said “It is not a great game, but for under a tenner what do you expect. There is enough game play here to keep you going for a while.”

Arnie Katz & Joyce Worley for Ahoy!’s AmigaUser said “Joe Blade is an exceptionally well programmed product. Its animated illustrations and jaunty soundtrack give it an edge over numerous other ‘storm-the-fortress’ epics”.

Computer and Video Juegos said “Nice and cheap with ace graphics, Joe Blade certainly cuts it. A good buy.”

Crash said “extremely playable and addictive.”
