Reception

William A. Barton reviewed Darkling Ship in The Space Gamer No. 63.[2] Barton commented that "If you don't mind adding some extra encounters, etc. during the exploration of the vessel, Darkling Ship may be salvageable - and could even be turned into an interesting adventure. However, I hope the next in the series (yes, there are loose ends left in the one, too) will have a bit more action in the offering."[2]
