Divided Ground received a negative review from Computer Gaming World's Bruce Geryk, who argued that its "scenario design is quite possibly the worst of any recent computer game."[4] In a middling review, Tom Chick of GameSpot wrote, "The Campaign engine has been around far too long to be simply rehashed with so few changes."[2]
