![]() ![]() ![]() I was such a huge fan that I bought very pricey imports of first Sengoku Rance and then The Fall of Zeth. I discovered the Rance series entirely by accident nearly a decade ago and it completely changed how I think about eroge. Ultimately if you're a grown-ass adult who can handle a story about a horny antihero who treats women like objects, these are solid games and worth your hard-earned cash. ![]() ![]() And the comedy often lands, which again is rare in an erotic game. I think it's a testament to the game's writing that the characters (including Rance, TBH) have more going on than in your average erotic game. Rance 02 (I played the Kai version) uses a much more conventional map system and a somewhat different combat system, and largely felt like playing an older isometric 2D turn-based dungeon crawler.Īs always, there are some adventure-type puzzles in both games, some of which are obscure or convoluted, but an internet walkthrough got me through those.Īnd, of course, if you didn't already know it by now, Rance himself is a narcissistic, horny asshole. The combat balance is well done, and beyond all the nice gal art and H scenes there's a very good retro-style RPG. In any case, several of the RPG mechanics in Rance 01 are unique in my experience, especially the way you navigate the "dungeons," via a card based system that feels a bit like a cross between traditional map-based RPGs and random card games like Slay The Spire. So graphically they're on a par with Rance 5D and VI. In fact, if you look at the development dates, the 01 and 02 remake versions of Rance were developed after Rance VI, even if story-wise they happen earlier in the Rance timeline. I played and enjoyed Rance 5D and Rance VI, so thought I'd go back to the beginning and try some of the earlier works. ![]()
