Reception
Game Machine listed Final Star Force as being Japan's eighteenth most popular arcade game of December 1992.[4] Jay Carter of Electronic Game magazine compared its gameplay to Xevious, and liked the game's bright and detailed backdrops.[5] The game's mostly negative reputation and poor sales, however, led to Tecmo pulling it from sale shortly after its release.[6]
Legacy
Final Star Force was released for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 as part of the Arcade Archives series in January 2025.[7]
