The PC version earned a score of 85% by CD-Action, which wrote "Computer adaptation of a tabletop game based on Lovecraft’s work crushes players with distinct atmosphere of ancient tomes, madness, sinister incantations, old cults and Elder Gods. " AppSpy said "The Lovecraftian mythos is often used and abused as a cheap shortcut for instilling thrills or mystery in to an otherwise bland story or experience not so with Elder Sign: Omens as it shows off the true terror, danger and madness of messing with the dark unknown in this chilling board game adaption. " wrote "This is one of the most atmospheric games I have played on the iPad so far, even though this isn't a RPG with dialogues, quests or plot but a simple turnbased game of dice against the clock that's based on luck as well as rudimentary tactics. You'd have to be insane to pass this up, although you may end up that way, regardless.


" 148Apps wrote "A fantastic, atmospheric game with absolutely gorgeous visuals and tremendous replay value. It's a far lengthier experience than most mobile gamers will be used to in a single session, but after spending an hour in the world of Elder Sign: Omens, you'll begin to wonder how the world could survive without you. Omens of Ice features a stand-alone deck of sixty Alaskan. Investigators must brave the Alaskan Tundra and make the treacherous ascent up icy mountains in order to save humanity from the Ancient Ones awakening deep in the frozen wilderness. " Gamezebo said "Rather than simply porting the classics of their catalogue, Fantasy Flight Games has paired a new print release with a great digital version that should have no problem moving boxed copies of their latest game. Venture into the far north and combat ancient horrors in Omens of Ice, an expansion for Elder Sign.
