Next Generation reviewed the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "As is, Gotha is a great tease, but not much more."[2] While previewing the game as an import, GamePro found the overall graphics as "stunning," noting the photorealistic backgrounds as "gorgeous" and its polygon aircraft as an "imaginative mix" of science fiction design as in Star Wars and Flash Gordon. However, the magazine noted the language barrier would make its intricate strategy gameplay too difficult for most players who do not speak Japanese.[7]
