In Japan, "Game Machine" listed "The Last Blade 2" on their December 15, 1998 issue as being the second most popular arcade game at the time. According to "Famitsu", the Neo Geo CD sold over 9,379 copies in its first week on the market. Blake Fischer reviewed the Dreamcast version of the game for "Next Generation", rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "A unique 2D fighter for Dreamcast which is a welcome break from the plethora of "Street Fighter" variants we've seen in the States. Too bad you'll have to track down an import to play." In 2012, "GamesRadar+" included "Last Blade 2" among the little-known classic fighting games that deserve HD remakes, calling it "one of the Neo Geo’s prettiest, deepest fighters."
