Despite its simplicity, the game offers a satisfying amount of content, especially for its price.
- “This is the final chapter of the original space pilgrim saga, and like its predecessors, although it's built using an engine intended for JRPGs, the actual gameplay is closer to that of the classic '90s point-and-click adventures: a variety of locations that can be visited, characters who can be spoken to, and items which can be picked up.”
- “Even though the gameplay is quite simple, the story was interesting and kept me playing through the entire series.”
- “However, some may find the gameplay a bit linear.”
