"[5] Adventure Gamers wrote, "9 Elefants effortlessly copies what should have been a successful formula on paper, but a lack of puzzle variety and story relevance causes most redeeming qualities to get lost in translation."[2] MacLife said " They say an elephant never forgets. We doubt we'll forget our experience with 9 Elefants, although not for the right reasons."[4]
