Slaygon received generally average critical reception. The Games Machine said: "The locations to visit and tasks to perform are very similar throughout Slaygon, so tedium sets in quickly." [2] Your Amiga summarized: "[...] Slaygon looks good and plays well initially but there is no real lasting challenge offered." [3] CU Amiga said the game is "Difficult to get into, unimpressive to play, and exceptionally easy to get bored with." [8] Atari ST User thought the game "should appeal to a wide range of players who are more impressed with depth of gameplay than with flashy graphics or sophisticated animation." [7] .info said: "Slaygon has enough suspense, strategy, and challenge to keep you coming back. If you like hi-tech combat, you'll like Slaygon." [4] Zzap!64 reviewing Day of the Viper (1989), which is made by the same developers, noted it as "an incredibly similar game" to Slaygon. Further commenting that "Charging £19.95 for a game that's two years old (and doesn't seem to have been updated) is a bit suspect." [12]
