Another Rance game has been fully translated into English for Western fans to enjoy, specifically Sengoku Rance, a departure from the franchise’s usual turn-based RPG style that instead focuses on strategy but still also has all the naughty sex scenes that worshipers adore.
Sengoku Rance has the titular Rance traveling to the nation of Nippon in order to relax at the marvelous hot springs, though his vacation is cut short after he is tossed into a brutal war by Nobunaga Oda, eventually leading to the conquest of Nippon and all its warring states in entirety.
An old PV for Sengoku Rance that briefly discusses the game’s plot and characters:
The strategy game focuses on army-based battles and has players managing their forces as they conquer territories and meet all sorts of characters, they will also encounter different events based on the paths they take.
Though vital battles and wartime struggles serve as the plot, the violation-loving Rance naturally only bears the intent of breeding with Nippon’s gorgeous women – his sexual endeavors coincidentally bringing about peace.
Westerners can finally experience Sengoku Rance’s strategic gameplay and ruthless sex scenes in English now.
It’s great game. Legitimately great game even without the sex.
Yeah, one of the best of it kind.
Hope they translate all of them.
Can’t wait to play the sequels with translation.
Great game, but played/finished it 8 years ago.
Now i am waiting for the rest of the rance series to be translated.
Spoiler, quest was fucking terrible to the point it needed an expansion, then monkey ball pointless garbage, then an unsatisfying end where Rance becomes the new demon king “The end”
first time i hated a cat so much
I played it like, 8-10 years ago ?
Yeah it was fan translated in 2007, but I think this is an official (and better) translation. I could be wrong on any of those statements, though.
Was a great time playing it. A little too hard/complicated though, at one point I just downloaded a save for all the H scenes I think. But I was like 15 back then so who knows, maybe I was just retarded.
Some things are better, some are a lot worse.
Nippon and Nipponese? Calling foot soldiers “Ashigaru”?
I don’t remember it being that hard, but the method to unlock some of the best characters was stupid and irrational so maybe that didn’t help.
What? It was designed so that you would fail or get a side ending the first couple times you played it. But as you failed you kept earning the “boosts” when you started a game.
Still, even after saying that the game was basically forcing you to not go west. When Oda goes evil the game requires you to get decimated even if you took over the maids and the tranny in the south. You could cheat engine values and see that his first invasion will f♥♥k you badly even with max everything and beating his armies.
2009 according to vndb
It’s been fan translated ages ago. Wonderful game indeed.
Thats true, but was not fully translated.
Dude, literally the only things not translated where some unit names and a like one menu item. All the important stuff ie dialogue were fully translated.
All the translations look the same to me, or did R*ft s♥♥t actually not get screens from the official translation? It wouldn’t surprise me if it was the later knowing how incompetent he generally is.
Uncensored CGs finally!
Rance is such an entertaining protagonist. I still love him.
