Subsim also reviewed the game, saying "Shells of Fury (SOF) has to be one of the strangest subsims released in quite a while. It takes on a neglected era (WWI), looks very retro, and appears to have been almost dumped on the market with no real ambition or pretensions."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.subsim.com/ssr/shells_fury.php|title=Shells of Fury|work=Subsim|last=Millichope|first=David|date=November 14, 2007|accessdate=November 30, 2018|archive-date=November 19, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181119153452/http://www.subsim.com/ssr/shells_fury.php|url-status=live}}</ref>

I wanted it to be a version of Battleship — on steroids. It is, instead, a tentative little game without much depth."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gamezone.com/reviews/1914_shells_of_fury_pc_review/|title=1914 Shells of Fury – PC – Review|work=GameZone|date=May 4, 2012|accessdate=November 30, 2018|archive-date=November 30, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181130202248/https://www.gamezone.com/reviews/1914_shells_of_fury_pc_review/|url-status=live}}</ref>
