Critical reception
Coming Soon Magazine rated the game 91/100: "I deliberately did not talk about the scenario because it would remove all the interest of the story when you buy the game. However, the fact that it features several hours of dialogue, SVGA graphics all throughout the game, lots of video sequences, action and adventure, should convince you that The Last Dynasty is a great game. Besides, I forgot to mention many other details such as the over 20 different types of vessels including allies and enemies, the permanent help in the cockpit from your on-board computer, the exterior views, the adventure in real time, and lots more. So what do you want me to say to make you buy this game? It is a great work!"[2]
Computer Gaming World gave the game a score of 40%: "If this game was a big hit in Europe, then I guess it all comes back to the mystery of different sensibilities and expectations of a game. For all the glitter, The Last Dynasty doesn't offer anything more than you could have found on an Atari ST ten years ago, and the endless video clips leave the player feeling like flotsam carried away on the raging current of unchecked multimedia. If a game is going to force you into a dorky, clichéd character, the least it can do is give you some control over that character's destiny, instead of forcing you to watch him say and do dumb things".[3]
