| GameZone.com (Xbox) | Michael Lafferty | An average game that employs the same battle system as numerous other Japanese-style dungeon crawls. Unfortunately, when you have seen so many, it is hard to get excited about another. | 7 out of 10 |
| IGN.com (Xbox) | Hilary Goldstein | It's just a mindless and pointless and boring dungeon crawl. In fact, it's a bit of an insult to other great dungeon crawlers like Diablo and Baldur's Gate to even call this a crawler at all. | 3.5 out of 10 |
| TeamXbox.com (Xbox) | Dad | So devoid of anything worth merit, that it is almost comical. | 1.7 out of 5 |
| GamesDomain.Yahoo.com (Xbox) | John Brandon | Metal Dungeon does one thing and one thing only: it adds one more RPG to the Xbox line-up, and whether or not that's a good thing depends on how desperate you are for a dungeon crawl. | N/A |
| GameSpot.com (Xbox) | Matthew Gallant | For all its 3D trappings, Metal Dungeon is a very basic game, one that would have the same feel if it were text-based and is certainly not worth paying full price for. | 3.1 out of 10 |
