Upon its release, the original game's reception was mixed to average, getting some criticism for the tedious and lengthy battles, lack of a proper character bonding system, and poor performance on Sony's handheld console. On the other hand,
The Caligula Effect was praised for the battle system as a whole, and for delivering a fresh idea to the genre.
