The original release of Elminage (エルミナージュII DS Remix 〜双生の女神と運命の大地〜) had scored an A rank among 19 user reviews on the Japanese peer-review Nintendo DS ranking site ndsmk2.net, making it one of the most well-regarded games in the Role-playing game genre on the site.

Elminage III (エルミナージュIII 〜暗黒の使徒と太陽の宮殿〜) was released in 2011 on PlayStation Portable and the reception was mixed. Critics praised the game's keeping of the class freedom and atmosphere, but the game balance had suffered and there are various minor polishing issues. The last release of the main series, Elminage Gothic, was released in 2013 to mixed reception. Fans had the impression that the world-view of the series was denied somewhat in that the text writing had little to no reference anymore to the past releases.
