Reception edit
Allen Varney reviewed the 1985 release of Advanced Cassiopeian Empire in Space Gamer No. 76.[2] Varney commented that "There's so much wrong with this game that I can't even find the parts that are right . . . assuming there are any. Such searching doesn't seem worth the effort."[2]
Lawrence Schick called this game "Amateurish", and noted that the character creation rules were similar to Traveller.[1]
