Millennium 5 - The Battle of the Millennium

This is a review spanning all of the Millennium series (games 1-5). After about 10 years of playing, I've finally finished this series. I had first intended to 100% all of the achievements, but I only managed to with the first 3 games. Partially, this is due to bad achievement design, as there are many opportunities to unfortunately lock yourself out of most achievements early on, and some require multiple playthroughs, many which rely on Hard Mode and really don't bring much more challenge other than fighting bosses that are basically damage sponges with unfair sweeping statuses that you can't heal from easily. (The amount of times I died to total party paralysis was laughable.) But, even bearing that in mind, I still really enjoyed this game series. I first played it as a tester when I used to work at Big Fish Games and I just really enjoyed the story itself (classic underdog story) and all of the characters. It wasn't until later when I got all of the games that I decided I wanted to finish the series, more as a personal goal than anything else. With the right polish, this could have been an amazing RPG Maker game series - comparing to the Aveyond series - however I don't think…

A ok finale. Nice carryover system though

I played all previous and enjoyed. This one is a POS.

Outdated graphics and illogical controls. levels are dull and mechanics are stuck in monotony. feels like the game is only for nostalgia or to regret your gaming choices. not worth it.

Millennium 5 – The Battle of the Millennium is the climactic finale to Aldorlea Games’ long-running Millennium saga, bringing together years of narrative buildup into a decisive confrontation that aims to reward dedicated followers of the series. Developed and published by Aldorlea Games, the title stays firmly rooted in classic RPG Maker traditions, embracing old-school turn-based combat, sprite-based exploration, and a sprawling fantasy narrative driven by an ensemble cast. As the fifth entry in a continuous storyline, it is less an isolated adventure and more the concluding chapter of a multi-game epic, designed primarily for players who have followed Marine and her companions from humble beginnings to the brink of a revolutionary showdown. The story centers on Marine’s bold plan to challenge oppressive rule in Mystrock by invoking an ancient martial law that could turn the political tide. However, the odds are stacked heavily against her. With only days to prepare, she and her diverse group of allies must train, strategize, and strengthen their bonds in preparation for a climactic battle. The narrative leans heavily on continuity, weaving in references, character arcs, and unr…
