The game received "unfavorable" reviews according to the
Steve Butts of The Escapist gave the game two stars out of five, saying, "Ninety-Nine Nights II has the fast combat, loads of enemies and fantasy setting that you expect from this genre, but it just misses the mark in terms of fun. The fighting is tedious and the enemies are either unchallenging peons or hulking monsters who can crush you the instant you make a mistake."[18] David Wolinsky of The A.V. Club gave it a D, saying, "There's no getting around the monotonous mayhem, and N3II unfortunately assumes that players are as mindless as the limited fun it offers."[20] Roger Hargreaves of Metro gave it two out of ten, calling it an "Impossibly tedious Dynasty Warriors clone that offers up not one ounce of entertainment for enduring its soul-shatteringly dull world and combat."[19]
