2 was seen by some game writers as not as good as the original. The game sold about 180,000 copies worldwide, with 40,000 copies sold in Japan and Europe respectively and 100,000 sold in the US. Levi Buchanan of IGN wrote that while not as good as the original game, ActRaiser 2s allusions to Medieval religious texts and apocryphal storytelling is "more than welcome". In 2018, Complex rated Actraiser 2 81st on their "The Best Super Nintendo Games of All Time". They commented that the game is great despite being strictly a platformer and not having the god elements from the first game. In 1995, Total! ranked the game 38th on its "Top 100 SNES Games". Legacy In 1996, Sega announced that they would be publishing a Quintet-developed remake of ActRaiser 1 and 2, tentatively titled Act Remix, for the Sega Saturn. However, roughly halfway through development Quintet concluded that the ActRaiser series was outmoded, and they drastically reworked the game, which was ultimately titled Solo Crisis. Quintet started coding a third game in the ActRaiser series, for the Nintendo 64, but never finished it. In May 2008, Fumiaki Shiraishi, the lead programmer for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King, noted in an interview that he would like to make an ActRaiser sequel.
