Don Turnbull reviewed Time War for White Dwarf #17, giving it an overall rating of 8 out of 10, and stated that "what I have seen so far indicates to me a workmanlike job, not entirely free of annoying errors and easier to learn than it looks, with plenty of play-potential and enough interest to fascinate players who like to handle a considerable number of variables at once."[1]
Steve List reviewed Time War in Ares Magazine #1, rating it a 7 out of 9.[2] List commented that "Time War is an excellent effort into a heretofore unexplored field, and thus many of its flaws should be excused."[2]
Forrest Johnson reviewed Time War in The Space Gamer No. 38.[3] Johnson commented that "Time War could have been a great game. Maybe it was ... or will be."[3]
In Issue of 26 of Phoenix, Paul King found the game components to be of high quality, and concluded "All in all Time War is a fun game and the playing time of one or two hours is not too far out once you are used to the mechanics."[4]
