TouchArcade said "The distinctive sights and sounds are worth the effort. "^[2] AppSpy said "Like a fevered nightmare trip through the covers of 70s prog-rock bands and classic pulp-fiction, God of Blades is a beautifully presented and other-worldly experience, but is likewise just as short-lived as you expend its limited content and variety of combat. "^[3] AppAdvice said "The thing that stands out the most about this game is the beautiful artwork. "^[4] Edge Magazine wrote "As the studio name suggests, this is a game design team that's in love with books, and so it's amongst books that its first offering reveals its true potential. "^[5] AppSmile said "Using light RPG elements and simple gestures to vanquish enemies one-by-one, God of Blades is a satisfying adventure. "^[6] Modojo wrote "It's just a shame that, for all this graphical and aural stimulation, the fighting mechanics are so basic. "^[7] PocketGamer UK wrote "A relentlessly stylish sensory assault that's so in tune with its underlying mechanics that it works, despite the game's obvious flaws. "^[8]
