Reception

Brian J. Murphy of Creative Computing praised Andromeda Conquest for its playability and multi-player mode but criticized the solitaire game, describing it as "dull".5 Computer Gaming World's Floyd Mathews praised the game as "relatively simple, but exciting".6 However, in 1992, in its retrospective survey of science fiction games, the magazine gave the title two of five stars.7
