If The Adventures of Elliot become as numerous as the legends of Zelda, you'll find me a willing participant, despite the shortcomings of this maiden voyage. The inspirations are clear, but so too is the understanding of what makes for enjoyable minute-to-minute gameplay. The longer you play, the more the cracks begin to show, but the story manages to push you forward and the hidden plots beneath it make going out of your way an oft fulfilling detour. The red mage-looking Elliot has made a fan out of me, and if Link ever wants to take a break from stopping Ganon, Square Enix has a capable back…

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales blends classic Zelda and JRPGs into a satisfying 2D HD action RPG packed with exploration and customization.

June 17, 2026 Read Review

What if the best Zelda of recent years didn't bear the Nintendo brand, but that of Square Enix? The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, the new production from Team Asano, certainly has that flavor, with a little touch of HD-2D added.

June 17, 2026 Read Review

Typically, a weak narrative would matter to me. Even with my action games (see: NieR), I like to play something that has something to say (and that’s why I don’t quite hold Zelda in the same esteem as some others). However, with Elliot, the gorgeous production values and entertainingly breezy action roped me in anyway. This is a charming, if transient little game, and has the added benefit of demonstrating that HD-2D is a versatile engine that developers have only really started to play with.

Despite the successes of The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, I can’t help but feel it’s a game that doesn’t make full use of its time-travel potential, both in its overworld and in its story.

June 17, 2026 Read Review

With engaging, high-octane combat, enticing visuals, and well-designed boss fights, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales delivers a pretty enjoyable overall experience. Unfortunately, its underwhelming dialogue, unremarkable cast of characters, and slightly lacking environments prevent it from reaching the heights of classic Square Enix titles.

At the same time, the adventure often plays things very safely. The story follows familiar fantasy tropes, many quests fall into predictable fetch-quest patterns, and the enemy variety becomes repetitive over time. Nevertheless, strong exploration, satisfying progression systems, memorable boss battles, and an undeniably charming world ensure that Elliot’s journey remains consistently entertaining. It may not reach the same heights as Team Asano’s most celebrated RPGs, but it is still a worthwhile adventure that classic action-RPG fans should find easy to enjoy.
