In Computer Gaming World, Buddy Knight wrote, "All things taken together, Overrun! gives you your money's worth. I would heartily recommend buying a copy."[3] Erik Olson of Compute!'s Gazette was similarly positive toward the game: he dubbed it "possibly the most complex war game available for the 64" and "an excellent simulation".[4] Zzap!'s Robin Hogg wrote that it "[s]lips up in the possibilities of modern combat but despite this [is] an extensive and very comprehensive wargame."[1]
