Gameplay

edit

Lightning Warrior Raidy II combines traditional turn-based battle with elements of visual novels. Unlike its predecessor, it uses limited animation for some scenes instead of simple static images. Maps, which had to be located in the first game, are now automatically created as Raidy progresses through a dungeon.[2] There are new equipment types, items, skills such as Extasy Slash, weapons including the ultimate Sexcalibur, and gameplay elements such as commerce, dual-wielding weapons, and a new charge-based Thunder Slash special attack called Thunder Blast.

All fights in the game are one-on-one. Whenever the protagonist Raidy defeats a boss, she punishes them through various kinds of sexual violation and the bosses too erotically rape her in case if they win. Defeating a regular female enemy also shows her undressed and humiliated.

Plot

edit

The game takes place one year after the events of Lightning Warrior Raidy in the oasis town of Lake Blue (レイク・ブルー), which "Lightning Warrior" Raidy wanders into and finds terrorized by a band of female bandits led by Jammy.[3]

Characters

edit
  • Raidy (ライディ): The protagonist of the game. She is a warrior with a mysterious power to control lightning.[3]
  • Gav: The main antagonist of the story who seems to be stealing the life force of young girls for an unknown but clearly sinister purpose.
  • Setia (セティア): The beautiful proprietress of the Lake Blue Inn, Setia is a sociable girl who takes an immediate liking to Raidy after she is saved from the clutches of Jammy's bandit gang. She has strong lesbian tendencies.[3][4]
  • Clay (クレイ): Lake Blue's cheerful town blacksmith. She has a fetish for weapons, and sometimes uses them as masturbation aids.

Reception

edit

Virtual Sex Games called Lightning Warrior Raidy II Temple of Desire not the best RPG around, but a great looking hentai RPG.[10]

Legacy

edit

A third game simply titled Lightning Warrior Raidy III was released afterwards. Unlike previous releases, Raidy III is a completely original sequel continuing from the remakes and features an armor fusion system that allows Raidy to combine her soul with the first game's bosses, giving her a completely new look or changing her race entirely and thus giving her new abilities, all while trying to pay off a humongous tab she didn't amass by her own means. Raidy III was again localized by JastUSA and has also received a spin-off titled Raidy 3.5 ~Forres Kiki Ippatsu~ that has yet to be brought westward.

Adaptations

edit

Raidy Comic Anthology was available by mail order.[11]
