The box cover features a reproduction of the painting The Defense of Rorke's Drift by the 19th-century artist Alphonse de Neuville.

In Issue 79 of Fire & Movement, James C. Gordon wrote a lengthy review and concluded, "The Defense of Rorke's Drift offers value for the money.

Everything from the rules to the map and the counters conspire to provide a feeling of the event: a farm filled with British and Colonials, some wounded, attacked by hordes of Zulus during a terrible night."
