Reception

J. Mishcon reviewed Slag in The Space Gamer No. 38.^[3] Mishcon commented that "All in all a well balanced game with a lot of very nice options, but a game that heavily depends on your hand-eye coordination to shoot down those missiles. Buy it only if you're really into coordination."^[3]
