However, Cowie noted that the detective-style module required the player characters to proceed in an orderly fashion through five scenarios, and commented "No party of players that I have known ever does what they are supposed to, in the right order, through <i>five</i> different adventures." Cowie also pointed out that the players are railroaded by a non-player character who "pops up whenever the party is going astray" and that three of the five adventures are initiated by an appearance of the ducal herald. In spite of this, Cowie thought that "this is a good module to play", and he specifically praised the way the town is presented. He concluded by calling it "a module rich in character and invention ... although it is unlikely that any party will follow through the story line [...] without a lot of guidance."<sup id="cite_ref-Imagine03_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Imagine03-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In Issue 48 of <i><a href="/wiki/White_Dwarf_(magazine)" title="White Dwarf (magazine)">White Dwarf</a></i>, <a href="/wiki/Jim_Bambra" title="Jim Bambra">Jim Bambra</a> called <i>Curse of Xanathon</i> a "detective adventure ... very much a programmed affair [where] players move through a series of distinct and logical stages, discovering clues as they go." Bambra pointed out that if the players fail to follow the clues, the Dungeon Master must direct them to the next encounter, which cuts down on the amount of freedom available to them. Bambra concluded by giving the adventure a rating of 7 out of 10, stating that the module was not as good as contemporaneous adventures released for <i>Advanced Dungeons & Dragons</i>, but thought it was superior to the two modules preceding it in the series, <i><a href="/wiki/Isle_of_Dread" class="mw-redirect" title="Isle of Dread">Isle of Dread</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Castle_Amber_(module)" title="Castle Amber (module)">Castle Amber</a></i>.<sup id="cite_ref-WD48_2-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-WD48-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The French RPG magazine <i>La Gazette du Donjon</i> gave this adventure a rating of 4 out of 5, saying, "This scenario has an impressive background.
