[18] Digitally Downloaded summarized the PC/Mac version: "[...] ultimately Battle Academy is a little light for the wargame veteran, and a little complex for the casual strategy gamer, it should be reasonably fun for both groups, even if it’s not a game either would come back to six or twelve months down the track.

"[20] Andrei Dumitrescu of Softpedia said that Battle Academy delivers "[...] a simple and solid set of gameplay mechanics that can be an excellent entry point for those who have not played any other titles in the genre so far [...]"[22] Erik Carlson of Slide to Play summarized: "Battle Academy is for the hardcore strategy gamer only.

"[1] Jim Cobb of Armchair General reviewed the Operation Market Garden and Blitzkrieg France expansions and gave them a rating of 88%.

[23][24] Tim Stone of Rock Paper Shotgun wrote in a preview: "[...] combat is certainly more interesting and more nuanced than before, but obviously if you want real detail and realism in your T-34 vs Tiger tussles (and don't mind the consequent increase in workload/confusion potential) you're far better off with a Graviteam or a Battlefront product.

"[34] Rob P. of Digitally Downloaded summarized the PC version: "While it shares a significant amount of DNA with the first game, the clever maps, huge unit roster, and brilliant skirmish generator make Battle Academy 2 one of the most entertaining tactical-level wargames on the market today."

Davide Pessach of Eurogamer said that "Battle Academy 2 is a very focused wargame; perfect for anyone willing to strategize without spending hours going through text walls in a manual.

"[5][23] Matt Thrower of Pocket Gamer called the game "[a] pitch perfect, pick up and play blend of strategy and accessibility, history and thrills".
