Reception
Baal didn't receive critical or commercial success. Some criticised slow loading times.
While Baal does feature Psygnosis's trademark macabre mood, it is unusual among that company's games in foregoing their usual psychedelic Roger Dean cover artwork. Instead, the cover artwork was created by Melvyn Grant.
