Butcher concluded, 'Unfortunately, Deathkeep suffers from awful graphics, low-quality sound and uninspiring gameplay, all of which combine to create one of the worst games released on the PC in some time. He commented that 'the original version for the 3DO console was less than inspiring, and this substandard conversion to the PC is even less so'.

He concluded, 'With a solid plot and great animation, Death Keep is to die for.' Īndy Butcher reviewed the PC version of Deathkeep for Arcane magazine.

GamePro 's The Game Elf gave it a rave review, applauding the huge amount of content, accessible menus, 'smooth' control, rendered graphics with fully 3D point-of-view, detailed visuals, and 'unnerving' sound effects. Reviewing the 3DO version, a critic for Next Generation praised the graphical textures but said the game is frustratingly difficult, particularly criticizing the imprecise controls when making the character come to a stop and the need to pass over some objects multiple times before the game registers the contact.
