Slayers Royal 2
is a tactical role-playing game developed by Onion Egg and published by Entertainment Software Publishing and Kadokawa Shoten in 1998 for the Sega Saturn and in 1999 for the PlayStation, exclusively in Japan. It is a follow-up to 1997's '' Slayers Royal'' but is a standalone story in the '' Slayers'' franchise and not a direct sequel to its predecessor.
