The direct sequel to Eiyuu Densetsu, broader and richer than the first. Still classical, but undeniably charming for fans of old Japanese RPGs.

"Solid"
The sequel enriches the presentation inherited from the first instalment: more detailed portraits, villages with differentiated architecture, redrawn regional maps. Key scenes receive large fixed illustrations, and colours are distributed by kingdom crossed, which helps locate the progress at a glance.

Picking up the saga's thread with improved characters and a broader world extends the adventure across many hours of classic JRPG. Towns to visit, battles to chain and progression to fine-tune feed a long-breathed quest. That narrative generosity, native to Falcom, earns this sequel a longevity dear to fans of old-school Japanese RPGs.

A direct Mega Drive sequel in the Falcom saga, Dragon Slayer - Eiyuu Densetsu II continues the Eiyuu Densetsu canon and proves rarer than the first entry, its 1993 Japanese print run having been smaller. Published by Sega and never localised, it completes a pair that Falcom RPG enthusiasts seek together, which tightens prices on the second volume. Desirability springs from the narrative continuity and the difficulty of assembling both complete-in-box entries in Japan.
An underrated gem
More ambitious than the first installment, this sequel enriches Falcom's world with a denser narrative and better-drawn characters. Like its predecessor, it never left Japan, staying ignored outside the circle of the faithful. For fans of classic turn-based JRPGs who like to take their time, it's a forgotten chapter of a saga that became a cult favorite.
