I played the remake of the first game (well, a couple of hours), and the positive I can say is that the game is very well polished, the dialouges sometimes made me laugh, the world is build up in a cool way and the system of fighting battles, managing your inventory, your place to stay and such are well thought out.
Why only one star then, you ask? Well, that's because while Rance is good as a casual game (at least for lewd games, with real casual games it can't keep up), it completely fails as a hentai game.
You'll often grind hours for the next scene, hentai scenes are very rare, and if you finally get them, they're just static pictures. They didn't animate anything which doesn't make sense for a hentai game, especially since they animated fights and such. At least low effort could have been put into the sex scenes with 2-3 pictures, a bit of movement and sound effects.
But this way the sex scenes really bore the hell out of you, and even as static pictures they're not really hot in any way, it's just boring angles and positions. Correction: Singular. Because you get only 1 static picture per scene.
I always don't get why people make hentai games when they actually want to make real games. Here's too much focus on the RPG part and too few on the lewd stuff.
Also you have the option to "assault" every woman you find, but it never functions. They always dodge, run away, someone interrupts, or they're stronger than you and push you back. Once wind just blew me out of a store. Okay, yeah, it was a bit funny for exactly 2 seconds, but then I remembered I am playing a hentai game. And I'm wondering why you would make an asshole MC that could assault every woman he wants, but cockblock that feature on every single woman you meet in the game.
Also, you can't really make decisions. You have a slave girl and he treats her like absolut garbage. Why can't we decide for ourselves? It's not that Rance is a very deep fleshed out character for whom it's important to have his own thoughts and decisions.
Anyways..this is a huge waste of time. If you want to play good RPGs, there are tons out there in the casual market. As a hentai game, Rance is a huge failure.
