Reception

In Japan, four critics from Famitsu gave the game a total score of 33 out of 40. Game Rant called the story "unique and captivating".

Through Castlevania-style combat, players can complete the main quest and explore the dungeon."

At the UCG Game Awards 2024, Astlibra Gaiden: The Cave of Phantom Mist won the Best DLC of the Year (Independent Game).
