Reception

Nebuchadnezzar received "mixed or average" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic.

PC Gamer summarized: "Nebuchadnezzar isn't lacking for class, but needs to dial up the fun factor." Rock Paper Shotgun criticized the lack of content: "There are temples, but there's no religion. There's no entertainment. No war. No disease. No taxes, even."[7] Eurogamer praised the historical accuracy but described the campaign missions as repetitive.[8]

At the 2021 Czech Game of the Year Awards, Nebuchadnezzar won the Best Technological Solution award.[9] [10]
