Reception

W.G. Armintrout reviewed Star Cluster One in The Space Gamer No. 48.^[2] Armintrout commented that "I'm not particularly pleased with Star Cluster One. In my opinion it could use a shot of action [...] and better handling by Buchanan. Right now it is a slow game with a long turn-around time - hardly the perfect combination. Not recommended."^[2]
