Reception
editScott Tanner reviewed CityTech in Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer No. 78.[1] Tanner commented that "It is in City Tech that infantry come into their full potential. Standing around in open country and getting slaughtered seems to be the poor infantryman's lot until City Tech came out."[1]
Stephan Wieck reviewed Citytech in White Wolf #7 (1987), rating it an 8 out of 10 and stated that "The interior art of Citytech is rather poor, but the cover art done by Jim Holloway is very good. And, the counters and maps are of very high quality."[2]
