Reception

Game Players PC Entertainment wrote: "Activision's chess title isn't quite as challenging as Grandmaster Chess, but the vast majority of chess fans will find Sargon V more than strong enough to keep them playing for quite a while." PC Joker rated the game about equal to Chessmaster 3000, the German language option was noted as the most significant feature above the competition.
