The story of "Slave Sword 2" continues directly from the first game, requiring players to have prior knowledge of the original plot. While it features solid CGI art and some engaging elements, many reviewers found the narrative to be clichéd and somewhat rushed, lacking depth and variety in character interactions. Overall, the sequel offers a more linear experience with a focus on action, but it may not satisfy those seeking a rich and compelling storyline.
“The sequel and continuation of the story of the slave girl who fought for her freedom.”
“Slave's Sword 2 picks up and concludes the first game's plot and puts a greater emphasis on narrative than the first, though it covers this extra ground by offering a more linear experience - which could be a plus or a minus depending on your preferences.”
“It almost feels like a bit of social commentary that this game has as compelling a plot as any RPG I've played in the past several years.”
“The gameplay is nothing special; the story follows the same old cliché plot, but at the very least, the H scenes are somewhat quality.”
“It is practically the same as Slave Sword 1 except for a new bondage mechanic that barely does anything, more moves that are overshadowed by previous moves you had, and a story that frankly turns into a snore fest later on.”
“The story is okay but could be better with the option to romance some comrades.”

The gameplay in the sequel is largely similar to the first game, requiring players to complete all parts to progress rather than engaging in side missions. While some new mechanics and minor improvements have been introduced, many reviewers feel that the gameplay remains bland and unoriginal, with a cliché story and limited variety. Overall, it appeals to fans of the original but may disappoint those seeking significant advancements or depth in gameplay.
“Very much like the first one, if you enjoyed that then you will enjoy this; in essence, it's just a continuation of the story with some minor improvements to mechanics.”
“There are even some new game mechanics, including some small but interesting twists to combat that involve defending yourself against a long list of status effects (which all actually have accompanying battle art).”
“If it's not your cup of tea, you'll enjoy this if you don't mind the archetypal story and relatively vanilla RPG gameplay.”
“The gameplay is nothing special; the story follows the same old cliché plot, but at the very least, the h-scenes are somewhat quality.”
“Visually appealing characters but no actual variety during the gameplay and a bland as hell story.”
“It is practically the same as Slavesword 1 except for a new bondage mechanic (that barely does anything), more moves that are overshadowed by previous moves you had, and a story that frankly turns into a snore fest later on.”
