The game's story attempts to parody traditional RPG tropes, featuring a protagonist who levels up through a series of bizarre and often uninspiring events, including being resurrected after sexual encounters. While some players find the narrative mildly interesting and appreciate the accompanying visuals and voice work, many criticize the poor translation and overall execution, leading to a mixed reception regarding its storytelling quality.
“The story is interesting even if the game has many translation errors.”
“So good story, simple gameplay, amazing CG and voices for a very cheap price.”
“The story is pretty uninspiring even for a HRPG game.”
“The plot of this game is written as a parody to the usual RPG fare where the protagonist levels up by being sexually assaulted to death and then being resurrected by a different monster girl boss each time instead of grinding through fighting and defeating monsters and enemies.”
“Again, relies on 'story' with CGs to boot.”

Gameplay reviews are mixed, with some players criticizing it for being tedious and repetitive, especially when compared to other titles like dieselmine's series, which offers more engaging mechanics. Others appreciate the simple yet enjoyable blend of visual novel and RPG elements, highlighting the unique lives system and quick-time events, though they note that it can be frustrating. Overall, while some find it charming and recommend it for its art and voice acting, many feel the gameplay lacks depth and innovation.
“Otaku Fantasy 2 is really a high-quality RPG. This game will definitely be in the next game awards for Best Game of the Year. The gameplay is awesome and the graphics are outstanding. I loved everything about Otaku Fantasy 2. Play it, highly recommended.”
“So good story, simple gameplay, amazing CG and voices for a very cheap price.”
“+ amazing gameplay”
“This game is recommended only when at a discount or bundle offer for fans of Dieselmine and/or Sakuragame who might be interested in collecting their titles as a short RPG Maker-based game with nice artwork, voice acting, and background music, but it has numerous errors in the English version, heavy NSFW and controversial content, and repetitive gameplay.”
“Gameplay-wise, it's a mix of visual novel and RPG Maker general gameplay style, which again, isn't special. It has a platformer-like lives system used to avoid monster girls; if you lose them all, you lose the game. On top of that, there are quick time events if you get caught by one, which is a pain to navigate and can lead to losing a lot of health in the process.”
“Shitty gameplay.”

The humor in the game is characterized by its playful take on the hunt for love, featuring amusing situations and whimsical elements like the sakuragame rabbit. While some players suggest removing certain adult content, the overall comedic tone, complemented by enjoyable music and artwork, contributes to its appeal as a lighthearted adult game. However, it may not resonate with everyone, particularly those with a more serious outlook.
“It was funny to experience the hunt for love, and we are the target.”
“Yet there are also a few instances of funny situations here and there, with nice background music and artwork, which made me decide to write this review eventually.”
“This game belongs where it should be, in the realm of funny, fantastic to play, adult game 😊 :) not recommended for politicians; it’s beyond their scope of understanding.”

The game's approach to grinding is unconventional, as it replaces traditional combat with a parody narrative where the protagonist levels up through sexual encounters with monster girls rather than defeating enemies. This unique mechanic has drawn comparisons to other titles, highlighting its less engaging gameplay and lower quality in visual art and voice acting. Overall, players find the grinding aspect tedious and less satisfying compared to other games in the genre.
“The plot of this game is written as a parody to the usual RPG fare where the protagonist levels up by being sexually assaulted to death and then being resurrected by a different monster girl boss each time instead of grinding through fighting and defeating monsters and enemies.”
“It doesn't even compare to Dieselmine's Okasare Yuusha series, which has the protagonist fight monster girls in dungeons, not just run away. That would make any gameplay tedious; it has visual art leagues better in quality, voice acting, and adult scenes also better there.”
