Master Gamer
"A lot of the problems found in PlayStation games these days can be blamed on the system's now-ancient hardware, but you can't blame the hardware for Koudelka's poor RPG elements. The sub-par battle system and control are just enough to out-weigh the excellent story, voice acting, and environments." Review by Jimmy Payne.

Soundtrack Central: Koudelka Review
Review of the game's soundtrack by Daniel Kalabakov. "While I know that this album is not fit for everyone's taste, and that it surely doesn't topple his earlier works, I still must say that it is a wonderful piece of art." <small>(May 6, 2002)</small>

Just Adventrue: Koudelka Review
Review by Erik Reckase, [C]. "It seems to me that Sacnoth took one game (a great-looking gothic horror adventure) and combined it with another (using a sorry excuse for an RPG engine), resulting in an unpleasant gaming experience." <small>(2000)</small>
