==Reception==
''ROM''{{'}}s review praised the game's unusual lack of weapons and use of 3D graphics.<ref name=raving/> ''[[Antic (magazine)|Antic's]]'' review of the original stated that "computer enthusiasts who enjoy quick-paced, challenging action games will like ''Zombies''".<ref>{{cite journal |first= Roy |last=Wolford |title=Zombies |journal=Antic |date=March 1984 |url=http://www.atarimagazines.com/v2n12/productreviews.html}}</ref>

''[[Computer Gaming World]]'' said of the revised version: "I do not feel that the changes [from ''Zombies''] are numerous-enough or significant enough to justify buying the both games. However, if you have neither, then ROI is a good addition to your arcade-action game inventory".{{r|stone198501}} Steve Panak of ''[[ANALOG Computing]]'' wrote: "Your problem is that you must be perfectly immobile to cast your spell, and in this game you can't afford to stand still too often, or for very long". He disliked the defensive nature of the game, wanting a way to destroy his pursuers. He concluded, "while the ''Realm of Impossibility'' fails on many levels, it is still not bad enough to make me lose faith in Electronic Arts".<ref name="panak">{{cite journal |last1=Panak |first1=Steve |title=Panak Strikes! |journal=ANALOG Computing |url=http://analog.katorlegaz.com/analog_1985-05_120dpi_jpeg_cropped/analog_1985-05_069.html |date=May 1985 |pages=69–70 |access-date=2018-10-06 |archive-date=2018-10-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181007040223/http://analog.katorlegaz.com/analog_1985-05_120dpi_jpeg_cropped/analog_1985-05_069.html |url-status=dead}}</ref> ''[[Compute!|COMPUTE!]]'' called it "a classic, run-as-fast-as-you-can, three- dimensional arcade game with a goal", noting that "what distinguishes ''Realm of Impossibility'' from the run-of-the-mill chase game is not the three dimensions, but one element: cooperation". The magazine praised the Apple II version's graphics and two-player mode.<ref name="williams198707">{{cite news | url=https://archive.org/stream/1987-07-compute-magazine/Compute_Issue_086_1987_Jul#page/n35/mode/2up | title=Realm of Impossibility | work=Compute! | date=July 1987 | accessdate=10 November 2013 | author=Williams, Michael B. | pages=35}}</ref>
