Dragon Force II: Kami Sarishi Daichi ni ("The Godforsaken Land") is the sequel to Dragon Force for the Sega Saturn. Like its predecessor, it is a Real-Time Strategy game involving war among eight nations of the continent of Legendra, with gameplay split between administrative mode and campaign mode. However, there are various new elements, such as Item Crafting, Generals commanding two types of Troops at once, and new types of Troops such as Robots. Although the game was never officially localized outside of Japan, a fan-made translation patch
is available.

- Happily Adopted: At the end of Sanice's campaign, Sanice asks Adelva to be her new dad, since both King Lennox and Adelva's family are deceased. He agrees to treat her like a daughter when they're together.
- Heel–Face Turn: Katmando, an Apostle of Darkness in the original game, now has a humanoid form and becomes Sanice's Robot Buddy early into her campaign.
- Identical Stranger: Adelva's willing to side with Sanice in her campaign because, aside from getting access to Tradnor's magic, she's the spitting image of his deceased daughter.

- Not Quite Dead: The remains of Katmando are repaired by Sanice and Adelva. And Scythe and Gaul return to invade the player's kingdom and revive their god.
- Official Couple: Shen and Kaede, the latter of which automatically joins the former at the start of his campaign.
- Random Encounters: Unlike the original game, where the only encounters were with units on the map, you can explore Mines in order to trigger fights against Dark Elves and other non-humans.

- Royals Who Actually Do Something: The leader of each kingdom will also be its strongest General.
