Plot summary

The player commands a team of four Special Air Service operatives, and spends Action Points to make their moves. In each of five scenarios, the player chooses four of their eight team members to bring on the mission. Each mission involves the team saving all the hostages and killing all of the terrorists.
Reception
James V. Trunzo reviewed Sabre Team in White Wolf Inphobia #52 (Feb., 1995), rating it a 2 out of 5 and stated that "As with several games today, Sabre Team is a good idea (though not a very original one) that's poorly implemented. I keep trying out of a sense of fairness - maybe I am just a lousy player - but I think the game is flawed. It's overprices and too difficult. In spite of attractive graphics and some decent interface elements, the cons of Sabre Team overwhelm the pros."{{Cite magazine |last=Trunzo |first=James V. |date=February 1995|title=Capsule Reviews |magazine= White Wolf Inphobia |number=52 |page=75}}

Tony Dillon for CU Amiga rated the game 83% and said that "The computer puts up a realistic fight, and this creates just enough suspense for you to hold your breath every time an enemy soldier raises their weapon."{{Cite web|url=https://archive.org/details/cuamiga-magazine-033/page/n63/mode/2up|title=CU Amiga Magazine Issue 033|date=November 21, 1992|via=Internet Archive}}
ST Action rated the game 94% and stated "Sabre Team is the best Strategy game your ever likely to see on the ST, the graphics are truly unbelievable and the sounds pretty damn hot as well."{{Cite web|url=https://www.atarimania.com/atari-magazine-issue-st-action-issue-57_1385.html|title=ST Action (Issue 57) - January - 1993: Atari magazine scans, pdf|website=www.atarimania.com}}
Cam Winstanley for Amiga Power said that "the only criticism I've got is that it's only got five missions, which isn't enough".{{Cite web|url=https://amr.abime.net/review_1508|title=Sabre Team review from Amiga Power 35 (Mar 1994) - Amiga Magazine Rack}}
