Computer Gaming World approved of Iron Lord's graphics but criticized its performance and load times, especially as the reviewed Amiga version could not run from a hard drive. The magazine nonetheless concluded that the game was "an above-average combination of adventure, strategy and action gaming".[2] The game was reviewed in 1990 in Dragon #159 by Hartley, Patricia, and Kirk Lesser in "The Role of Computers" column. The reviewers gave the game 4 out of 5 stars.[3]
