Reception

J. David George reviewed Phase VII in The Space Gamer No. 57.[2] George commented that "Phase VII is one of the weakest efforts on the role-playing market today. From a complete lack of playtesting to shoddy production, the game and its [...] pricetag can only be considered a very bad joke."[2]

Lawrence Schick in his book Heroic Worlds called the game "Eccentric".[1]
