Millennia received mixed reviews upon release from both players and critics.[1][6][7]
The game has been criticized for drawing inspiration from Sid Meier's Civilization VI without building a strong foundation. Critics have also pointed out the lack of a proper combat system and few ways to expand cities.[5][9]
