  ## Reception
  
  J. David George reviewed Phase VII in The Space Gamer No. 57. George commented that "Phase VII is one of the weakest efforts on the role-playing market today. From a complete lack of playtesting to shoddy production, the game and its [...] pricetag can only be considered a very bad joke."
  
  Lawrence Schick in his book Heroic Worlds called the game "Eccentric".
