Harrington reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Strategic Conquest Plus is one of those rare games that the author seems committed to improving. With a host of innovative new features and the ability to withstand a billion or so replays, SC+ is certainly worth taking a look at. Just keep the sound down if the boss is around."[1] James D. Hornfischer for MacUser said that "With this wonderfully playable yet intricate program, PBI has superseded the tired genres of shoot-'em-up arcade spiels and rigidly structured text adventures."[2] David Langendoen for Home Office Computing rating the game at 4 stars for overall performance, and said that the game was "a strong enough game to overcome [its] handicaps and come out smelling like silicon roses".[3] Byte named it the game of the month for May 1987,[6] and runner-up for game of the year of 1987.[7][8] References
