What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Strategy game (about 8 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.

Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Length unknownNo verified $/hr
No length in our data yet, so the biggest driver can't be verified. A heavy dock until it is

Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

The value story

Across all 22 discounts in the 3 years tracked, the median cut is 50 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $13.99 at 65 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 81 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Old World ($3.99, scores 63) beats it on value, while it beats Sid Meier's Civilization VII ($69.99, scores 2).

More about Millennia

Steam's global achievement data puts under 1 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 30 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2024 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,597 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 306 have a larger share. In its first 30 days on sale, 9 of 128 sampled reviews came from refunders. Inside the two-hour refund window, 35 percent of the 448 reviews written there were positive, against 67 percent overall, and those are 15 percent of everything written about it.
