Judgement Silversword was one of the winning games, alongside M-KAI's sister project Cardinal Sins, both of which Qute published in Japan.

The retail version was released by Qute on February 2, 2004, with the subtitle Rebirth Edition due to Bandai discontinuing the WonderSwan family a year prior, Qute produced a limited print run of 500 copies, making it one of the rarest WonderSwan games released and commanding high prices in the second hand market.

[2] French publication Pocket Gamer said that the game justified the purchase of the console, praising its colorful, detailed visuals, originality and fast-paced gameplay.

[1] In retrospect, Hardcore Gamer said that the large amount of levels and impressive graphical effects made Judgement Silversword a "technologic marvel" for the WonderSwan Color.

[3] Retro Gamer had a similar response, being impressed with the game's colorful visuals, intense gameplay and the ability to save high scores, adding that it was a good alternative to Radiant Silvergun.
