Lightning Warrior Raidy II: ~Temple of Desire~ is an adult game developed by ZyX, and later translated to English by G-Collections. It is the sequel to Lightning Warrior Raidy.

Gameplay

The game 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.[1]

Plot

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). Raidy finds the town terrorized.[2]
