Reception
Michael Mullen reviewed the adventure in Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer No. 81.[2] Mullen concluded that "Ochimo, the Spirit Warrior serves as a moderate introduction to the more Chinese elements of the world, and gives a background timeline of the major mainland civilization. Suggested for characters of level 5-7, (seven pre-rolled characters are provided) you may find that the players should bring characters towards the upper end of that scale, or maybe even levels 7-9. The players face some major opposition, and well played, there should be few characters left standing at the end of the adventure."[2]
