Reception
Slaygon received generally average critical reception. The Games Machine said: "The locations to visit and tasks to perform are very similar throughout Slaygon, so tedium sets in quickly." Your Amiga summarized: "[...] Slaygon looks good and plays well initially but there is no real lasting challenge offered."
CU Amiga said the game is "Difficult to get into, unimpressive to play, and exceptionally easy to get bored with." Atari ST User thought the game "should appeal to a wide range of players who are more impressed with depth of gameplay than with flashy graphics or sophisticated animation." info said: "Slaygon has enough suspense, strategy, and challenge to keep you coming back. If you like hi-tech combat, you'll like Slaygon."
