Next Generation reviewed the game, rating it one star out of five, and stated that "The special moves, while simple enough to execute, range from run-of-the-mill to boring. Avoid this one at all costs."[6]

Nick Rox reviewed the game for GameFan in March 1995, stating "Yu Yu Hakusho is an excellent, well-rounded fighting game, and an admirable first effort from 32-Bit newcomer Tomy, that will most probably never come out in the US. If you're starved for a few 3DO brawler or are a fan of the series, don't pass up this fine import."[8]

gollark: Social status assignment wants you to say *popular* things.
gollark: Social status is NOT aligned with truth really.
gollark: Not particularly!
gollark: Yes, praise the supreme sinthoverlord?
gollark: The concept of god does not have significant predictive power because it's uselessly vague.
