Millennium - A New Hope

Game review

I've tried other Aldorea games (Laxius Force, etc), but for some reason this game caught my attention. It's obviously not perfect, yet something about it makes me ignore those faults.

The story is rather boring, and the characters aren't fully fleshed out. The writing isn't that great and there is a LOT of text to read. The world lacks a coherent backstory. It's as if the writer is trying to use the game to write the lore, instead of having the game exist in a world filled with lore.

The graphics aren't that great, and they are pretty cheesy. However, there are a few time I was surprised. You might say that this game is an unpolished gem. That's not surprising considering the company puts out a game every month (and charges a ridiculous amount for each).

The music is also something to be turned off. It's very good, honestly, but it repeats too often.

This game filled an itch for a traditional RPG that I've been feeling for far too long. Yes, it has it's problems, but it accomplishes everything fairly well. The story was straightforward, but in this instance it was a good thing. I'm sick and tired of every game needing to have a revolutionary plot twist in it's story. Whatever happened to enjoying a good solid traditional story?

Millenium is a solid traditional RPG that plays well. I would recommend it to anyone looking for something laid back.

Note: When playing this game, it doesn't provide warnings for when quests will become invalid. If it's not played with a strategy guide, you will miss out on any good weapons and armor. You will miss out on all the side quests that help give the world it's character. Most of the quests focus on, literally, hiding something from you in the most obscure way that is humanly possible. You can still enjoy it without a strategy guide, but it would be awfully hollow without one.
