Reception
Unlike Strider Returns, Strider 2 was well received by reviewers, though reviewers also often lamented the game's unlimited continues. James Mielke, writing for Gamespot, called it "a deliberate throwback to the arcade-dominant '80s" and "an excellent starter kit for the uninitiated, but for veterans of the series, it's like dinner without the dessert". David Zydrko of IGN described it as "a must-have package for fans of arcade-style action games", adding, "if you don't mind the fact that it's a very short game, you owe it to yourself to add this game to your collection". In Japan, Famitsu magazine scored the PlayStation version of the game a 30 out of 40.

First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks.
