The story of the Millennium series has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it engaging and well-connected across the five games, while others criticize it for being generic and poorly written.

- “I don't know why people liked the story of a whiny, immature 15-year-old who even tried to burn down the house of a guy she was trying to recruit.”

- “The story consists of endless and pointless rantings by all characters.”

The gameplay is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating the traditional "fight and explore" mechanics and the option to select difficulty levels, which enhances accessibility. However, many criticize the repetitive design, lackluster plot, and poor quality visuals, likening it to low-effort RPG Maker titles. Overall, while the gameplay has its merits, it is often overshadowed by its generic execution and technical flaws.
- “I love how you can select your level of difficulty (I always select story mode for a more visionary and involved gameplay). You can select arrows that show you overall where to go, because it can be easy to get lost or take too long to find your way in these games. This is a big plus for me.”
- “The mechanics of the game are flawless.”
- “The gameplay offers the traditional 'fight and explore' experience, with many optional or secret locations and side-quests.”
- “This is no different, it's a copy + paste of the previous four millennium games, with the focus on finding secret areas, a terrible and painfully generic plot that has you looking for 'warriors', combined with the hallmark poor encounter design, lazy map design that probably took less than a day, bad game mechanics, terrible writing, grammatical and spelling errors.”
- “Like most RPG Maker shovelware and asset flips, the game features extremely low quality copy + pasted 2D retro pixel art, looks awful, and has even worse gameplay.”
- “RPGs, especially RPG Maker games, depend on the story because the gameplay is fairly standard.”

- “The artwork is absolutely gorgeous and fully detailed.”
