On October 26, 2012, a bundle containing all three games in the series on DVD-ROM for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 was released, entitled Ikazuchi no Senshi Raidy ~Complete Pack~. In 2007, G-Collections, an affiliate brand of JAST USA, acquired the rights to release Lightning Warrior Raidy in English along with Snow Sakura. At that time, the release was planned for "mid- to late 2007", but English production didn't finish until May 13, 2008, when G-Collections announced that the game had hit "golden master" status. Even before Lightning Warrior Raidy was available for sale, G-Collections had already revealed their plans to translate the sequel, Lightning Warrior Raidy II.

Reception
In a review for Destructoid, Karen Gellender wrote: "So I'm probably not a good judge of this sort of thing, but my guess is that LWR is neither good hentai, or a particularly good dungeon crawler.... However, I couldn't in good conscience say that the title isn't entertaining. While it's very basic (think Etrian Odyssey without the mapping features), the actual gameplay is solid enough, and the artwork is attractive".
