Reception
Marcus L. Rowland reviewed The Breeder Bombs for White Dwarf #62, rating it 7/10 overall. He stated: "There are several tricks and twists, which lead to an amusing and apocalyptic conclusion." Rowland reviewed the adventures The Breeder Bombs, Time Trap, and Murderworld! together, and declared that "All three adventures work reasonably well, but stress combat above role-play or campaign development. None give any opportunity for the characters to use their secret identities (an important feature of the game rules), all are extremely violent."
