Reception

'' Next Generation'' reviewed the Macintosh version of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "If you enjoy first-person shooters, you're going to find a lot to like about this." ''MacHome Journal'' chose ''Damage Incorporated'' for the "Best Action Game" category in their "Home Choice Awards." They wrote, "With the incorporation of the teamwork concept into a 3-D shooter, ''Damage Incorporated'' provides additional strategy and immersiveness in an exhilarating marine strike force game for a mere $30." ''MacWorld'' wrote, "''Damage Incorporateds creator admits he has no real military knowledge, and it shows." The reviewer concluded, "It's a valiant attempt to advance the first-person shooter genre by incorporating a strategic element, but poor design and uneven implementation sabotage it."
