While praising V for Victory: Gold-Juno-Sword's documentation and SVGA graphics, Computer Gaming World stated that the fourth game "succeeds only a technological level, bereft of soul" and compared the series to "a line of books without an editor". The magazine concluded that "Three-Sixty's reputation in the hobby has suffered a major blow".[2]

In 1994, the editors of PC Gamer US wrote, "The V for Victory series is quite simply the most playable war games available, with an easy-to-master interface and admirable depth of game play." They continued, "We single out Utah Beach because it launched the series — but by all means, check out Velikiye Luki, Gold*Juno*Sword, and Market Garden, too."[3]

Gold-Juno-Sword was a runner-up for Computer Gaming World's Wargame of the Year award in June 1994, losing to Clash of Steel. The editors wrote, "Although basically a sequel, the improvements to the system bring it to the realms of wargame finalist".[4]

Reviews
gollark: It seems to say lots of things about killing people arbitrarily and such.
gollark: I don't know, but generally I lean toward the view that once a technology is reasonably practical to make with existing technology of the time, and it's useful for something, someone will make it.
gollark: Amongst some subset of the population to be fair, not *all* of it.
gollark: Consider conspiracy theories. They are very stupid. They aren't very good for you to hold, as they may make you increasingly wrong about things. Yet they spread well.
gollark: I'm not convinced that the "if it alone leads to the development of modern science" thing is true, and I still don't agree regardless of that.
