The game received average reviews. The Charlotte Observer noted its multiple levels of difficulty.[11] However, Next Generation said, "In the end, Fallen Haven is little more than a good idea with poor implementation. With a few gameplay tweaks and the addition of the two-player option Fallen Haven might have been great, but as it stands you're better off sticking with Civilization 2 [sic]."[6]
