GP Writes: "Luminous Arc 2 is a decent turn-based strategy game, although instead of the depth of other games like FFTA with the classes and items and weapons, it makes up for it with the comprehensive story telling. If you enjoy a relatively simple turn-based RPG, with some difficulty and an extensive story filled with knights, witches, and intrigue, then Luminous Arc 2 is the perfect game for you. There are hours of gameplay to enjoy, as well as many more hours worth of story telling, which will hopefully be fully voiced by the time it is released..."

Nintendo Life writes: "The DS has seen some fantastic RPGs released this year, with Valkyrie Profile, Nostalgia and of course Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, and Luminous Arc II keeps the standard high with a quality Japanese RPG package that is sure to please anyone looking for a tactical fix."

In an interview with GameBrit, Tristram Defries of Rising Star Games has confirmed the publisher is thinking of introducing pre-order bonuses for titles in the UK. He also discusses sales of Little King's Story.

The irrepressible UK publisher Rising Star Games have revealed the release dates of the remaining titles on their 2010, including fantastically original games for both Nintendo DS and Wii. Including a number of titles from Rising Star Games' "The Home of Japanese Games" range, Rising Star Games are set to prove that, once again, they are one of the leading third-party publishers for traditional gaming on Nintendo consoles.
