The game tells a story that draws concepts from the famous religious epics
Paradise Lost and Divine Comedy.The position of ActRaiser 2 in the series timeline is not explicitly revealed; however, many plot details
suggest that ActRaiser 2 may actually be a prequel to the original ActRaiser, or take place in another universe entirely.Unlike the original game, which alternately combined platform game sequences and god game sequences, ActRaiser 2 is only a platform game.
