Some stories treat the apocalypse as the whole point. Others let it hover in the background while everyone involved would clearly rather just go to the beach. Slobbish Dragon Princess 2 leans hard into that second option, picking up right as Judgement Day approaches and the dragons covering the sky prepare to decide whether humanity gets wiped out entirely. Iris, the dragon queen of the Sea and Water factions, has already descended to claim the oceans and lock humans out of them, shutting down resorts and fishing across entire regions. Dorami calls herself Grentel the Great Dragon when she forgets to keep up appearances, the self-appointed leader of a small cult built around her own thousands-of-years-old reputation as a beauty once worshipped as a god. Nobody in Slobbish Dragon Princess 2 takes that title especially seriously, least of all her own followers. That gap between how grandly she talks about herself and how little anyone actually treats her that way sets the tone for practically every scene she’s in.
Weeks after Judgement Day, with dragons already covering the sky, Slobbish Dragon Princess 2 finds Iris, the dragon queen of the Sea and Water factions, descending to claim the oceans and lock humans out of them entirely. That shuts down resorts and fishing across whole regions of the world. Somehow this is exactly when Dorami manages to talk NEET protagonist Takeru into a beach vacation with Haru and Suzuya instead of, say, worrying about the end of the world.
Takeru’s own story goes back further than any of this. He grew up in a broken down dojo under a father everyone in town knew as a deadbeat, and it was Suzuya, a local sweet shop worker, who actually looked out for him growing up. A lizard he found by the side of the road turned out to be Haru, a dragon princess who talked her own people out of wiping out humanity and then moved in with Takeru to get the full NEET experience for herself. That setup carried the entire first game before this sequel picked it back up.
Whirlpool developed this as a direct sequel, known in Japan as DraPri Guu-tara Life 2, part of a series that’s since grown to include a side story called LOVE+PLUS. That fandisc gave Suzuya’s own doujin ambitions and Dorami’s first dedicated route both room to breathe, alongside a third mainline entry beyond that. Sekai Project and Denpasoft published the English release, structuring it as a mostly linear story that still branches enough through choices to unlock different CGs along the way.
Two new character routes for Iris and Coral join the returning cast from the first game, and completing every route rewards the player with a full gallery, alongside an extras menu packed with CGs, scenes, movies, and music. The Steam release stays all-ages throughout, with a separate 18+ upgrade available free of charge for anyone who wants it.
Takeru’s total lack of ambition sets the tone for the whole cast, treating an apocalyptic dragon uprising with roughly the same energy he’d bring to a rainy Tuesday. That flat affect ends up being the joke as much as any specific gag, and the comedy leans entirely on the mismatch between world ending stakes and a cast that mostly wants to lounge around.
Haru’s forgiving nature toward Takeru’s tangled relationships with the other dragon girls kept the group dynamic from curdling into jealousy driven drama, even when she and Iris butted heads over him directly. I found myself laughing at how committed the story stayed to that bit rather than ever escalating into real tension.
The standoff between dragon factions stays firmly in the background throughout, and the beach vacation subplot ends up mattering just as much to the story’s momentum as anything happening in the sky above it. Watching a cast this committed to ignoring the actual apocalypse happening around them made the rare sincere, romantic moments land harder specifically because they were so rare.
CGs throughout stayed detailed enough to sell each dragon girl’s design clearly, and small implemented animations during key scenes added a bit of motion that helped sell the comedic timing better than static art alone usually manages.
Full Japanese voice acting covers the returning and new cast alike, and hearing Iris’s more commanding delivery play against Haru’s easier, more forgiving tone sold the tension between the two of them faster than the text alone would have.
Verdict
Grentel the Great Dragon never gets taken seriously by anyone around her, and that same unseriousness runs through the whole cast Slobbish Dragon Princess 2 builds its comedy around. Takeru’s flat affect against Haru’s patience and Iris’s new route give the joke real staying power across the runtime, and detailed CGs alongside a full Japanese voice cast dress up a mostly linear structure well, even if the branching choices exist more to unlock gallery content than to meaningfully change where the story goes. It’s a sequel that never once pretends its beach vacation matters less than the apocalypse happening around it, and that commitment is exactly the point.
