Into Liquid Sky
- Reviewed by Kinderfeld, [A-]. "The gameplay is pure "old school" and makes no apologies for it. Without a doubt, this is a "Love It or Hate It" game. If you can weather a challenge, then be sure to invest in this title."

RPGFan
- Reviewed by Ryan Mattich, [92%]. "A rare title that manages to do most everything right. Gamers who have been craving a dark, mature RPG experience will find satiation this fall when Nocturne is released stateside."

GameSpot
- "The game's movie-like quick camera cuts make the game especially difficult to navigate, which makes Nocturne's incessant and clumsy action sequences even less enjoyable." Review by Greg Kasavin.
