Reception
[edit]William A. Barton reviewed ZISMV: Vlezhdatl in The Space Gamer No. 46.[1] Barton commented that "unless you're one who prefers to draw your own plans, you should find the ZISMV: Vlezhdatl of definite use in your campaigns, particularly those taking place against the backdrop of the Fifth Frontier War."[1]
Doug Houseman reviewed I.S.P.M.V.: Fenris / S.F.V. Valkyrie, ZISMV: Vlezhdatl, I.S.C.V.: King Richard, I.S.P.M.V.: Tethys, and I.S.C.V.: Leander for Different Worlds magazine and stated that "All five ships can be readily converted to Archive's Star Rovers or FGU's Space Opera rules. SPI's Universe does not allow for easy conversion due to its pod and frame design rules. Use of all the vessels is limited to onboard only."[3]
