Lightning Warrior Raidy II: Temple of Desire is a dungeon crawling role-playing eroge developed by ZyX, and later translated to English by G-Collections, currently known as JastUSA.

It is both a sequel to Lightning Warrior Raidy and a remake of the second game.

Gameplay 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. 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.

The game takes place one year after the events of Lightning Warrior Raidy in the oasis town of , which "Lightning Warrior" Raidy wanders into and finds terrorized by a band of female bandits led by Jammy.
