The audio received a mediocre response, with critics praising the use of character and audience chants while criticising a lack of variety and repetitiveness.

Wilde worked hard to solicit good contributions from his wide artistic acquaintance, including those of Lady Wilde and his wife Constance, while his own "Literary and Other Notes" were themselves popular and amusing. The initial vigour and excitement which he brought to the job began to fade as administration, commuting and office life became tedious. At the same time as Wilde's interest flagged, the publishers became concerned anew about circulation: sales, at the relatively high price of one shilling, remained low. Increasingly sending instructions to the magazine by letter, Wilde began a new period of creative work and his own column appeared less regularly.

Rachel Bentham, writing for Active Anime, enjoyed the writing, comparing it to "bodice ripper" romance novels with points of humour and enjoyed the interesting Crusades setting.

Paul Wooding and Adrian Pitt of Sega Force applauded the game: Wooding commended the variety of items and characters and the "highly original and entertaining" plot; Pitt proclaimed the game to be "instantly playable" and "the most user-friendly RPG I've ever played", and praised the visuals as "well defined and colourful" and the dynamic Oriental soundtrack as "some of the best I've heard spout outta the Game Gear". Joe Hutsko of GamePro was surprised by the game's amount of detail in relation to its four-megabyte size, and praised the graphics as "finely detailed, superbly drawn, and practically as good as those found on the Genesis", but noted that the combat eventually became tedious due to the static visuals, and dismissed the music as a "repetitive fantasy flute, common to FRPGs". In its debut month, Defenders of Oasis was the seventh highest-selling Game Gear title at Babbage's, and stayed within the top-ten chart on four subsequent months.
