Some of the reviews were more about the reviewers' personal bias against religion in general or evangelical Christianity specifically. For example, in the review that appeared on Game Revolution, the author wrote, "I am sick and tired of being told that I have to respect everyone’s beliefs," and, "So let me be clear - Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Whatevers – you’re all nuts." Unsurprisingly, the reviewer gave the game an "F."<ref>http://www.gamerevolution.com/review/pc/left_behind</ref>

Some of the complaints about the game were based on various issues with its performance and design, citing appearance, interface, bugs, lags and crashes. For example, Game Revolution's review stated, "[W]hen the glowy balls get thick (anytime a lot of people are on the screen), the game starts to seriously lag, and sometimes even crash," "All your units look and dress alike once they’re converted," and "[Y]ou’ll find yourself playing the same maps over and over, preaching on the same corners, buying the exact same buildings and turning them into banks and churches and hospitals all over again." GameSpy stated, "While the developers went to the trouble of using actual images and logos from New York City on the game's buildings..., the buildings themselves are blocky, unconvincing and, worst of all, get in the way of the camera.", and summarised the bad points of the game as, 'Lousy controls; too much micromanagement; bad AI; poor graphics and art design; lack of skirmish mode; slow multiplayer.'  These were comments made in initial reviews and Left Behind Games subsequently issued several patches to address dozens of issues raised by the complaints.<ref>http://www.eternalforces.com/updatefullEP11.aspx</ref>
