"I honestly have no idea what you're supposed to do with this game. If you just play the characters being as evil as they can be, it becomes an extended, unfunny "Aristocrats" joke... There's really nothing that conveys genuine horror or shock. You wanna know what evil is? Evil is the banal bureaucratic machine that sent millions to their death in concentration camps. Evil is the rage and anger that drove young men to fly aeroplanes into skyscrapers, killing thousands. Evil is the greed and corruption that prevents us from ridding the world of hunger and poverty. It's heavy business. Empire Of Satanis is not a game about evil. It is a game about posturing."
— An RPGNet reviewer
"The thundering crash of void sabers erupts over the ominous chanting of a grotto's dark sabbath. Two bestial lords, inhuman, grotesque and satanic, slash at each other with blades of chartreuse magical energy from the void itself. A masked onlooker in yellow robes casts a spell as the ululation of strange tribal demons produces yet more sorcery!"
— The game's opening text.
