The Atari Times
Overall, Demon Attack is a great shooting style game for your 2600. If you like any other shooting games from Space Invaders to River Raid, you'll love this game!

Você dispõe de um canhão laser e deve se defender do ataque de naves espaciais. Desenvolva habilidade para, rapidamente, entrar embaixo delas, atirar e sair.

The Video Game Critic
While Demon Attack's graphics and sound aren't overly impressive, each wave sports a different set of aliens, and I like how they gyrate in a freaky manner. On a final note, Demon Attack's label has a picture of a spray-painted rubber dinosaur which I remember owning as a kid.

IGN
Demon Attack is definitely required in your Atari 2600 library, as it's not only a great shooter, but it's a launch salvo from one of the era's best developers.

Digital Press - Classic Video Games
All in all, however, it's still the same 'ol same 'ol, but one can't help but appreciate the care and effort put into this game. It doesn't break any new ground, but if god is in the details, Demon Attack could very well have become a religion all its own.
