2013: Infected Wars received "mixed or average" according to review aggregator Metacritic.[8]

Jon Mundy on Pocket Gamer UK says that "2013: Infected Wars is a deeply ordinary and forgettable shooter that's lifted by the novel presence of co-operative multiplayer. Even then, it still barely registers as above-average. Those specifically looking to play out a post-apocalyptic buddy movie situation on their iOS device will, however, doubtless find this a blast."[1]

David Clarke on TouchArcade says that "2013: Infected Wars is a meal cooked ten years ago, frozen and reheated five times over, and served on a plate made out of a laserdisc copy of Uwe Boll’s Alone in the Dark. You can keep your “console quality graphics and sound." Just give me some inspiration."[9]
