Reception

David M. Wilson reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Hoverforce has its weaknesses, but the game offers players just what is promised. It is a real whiz-bang shoot-'em-up! There is enough destruction to please even the most violent player. Players who are seeking a fast-paced, challenging arcade action game are invited to join Sheriff Stone's squad of Future Narcs."[1]

Jonathan Bell for Compute! said "Hover-Force deserves a place on the hard drives of action fans everywhere. You need only take the controls of the HoverKill, and you'll be hooked. Hunting down Alterants is a hard habit to break."[2]

Tom Malcom for Info gave the game four stars and said "If you're immune to motion sickness, Hoverforce will give you some of the best mind-bending action you've ever had."[3]

Damon Howarth for Page 6 said "This is a good value budget game that I would be happy to recommend since it combines a strong shoot em up with a fairly effective driving game. one game that does pass the test of time."[4]
