Rick Swan reviewed "Eternal Soldier" in "Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer" No. 85. Swan commented that "I guess you know when you've got something good when the clones start crawling out of the woodwork. The latest serving of sincere flattery for "Steve Jackson's GURPS" is "Eternal Soldier", a role-playing system for 'Adventures in Any Age' that is, sad to report, not even a nice try."
