Others - Completed - Sengoku Rance [v1.07] [AliceSoft]

Full cleared Dai Sengoku Rance (full game + mod dlc)

First Part (official game): 5/5
Dai / Mod : 2/5

This game is a good one even without lewdity. It may even suffer from having lewd things, making it unable to be a mainstream game.

The official game is difficult. Winning takes planning and sacrifices, intended to be an achievement in of itself. Luckily, each time you take over a territory, you usually get a sex scene (hopefully you enjoy comedy rape).
I *love* the music of the official game. Perfect in every way.

The second part, the mod... It's good, for being unofficial. There were a lot of unfinished side bits that made it disappointing to try to go deeper.
I really hated that there was no more rewards for conquests. You dont get sex scenes anymore in the Part 2 story. Very lame. The few times its mentioned that Rance has sex, that's it. Its said, not shown. Very lame.
Still, I enjoyed the story and I liked it for what it was.

If the second half of the story (the mod) was a stand alone, I wouldn't hold it in as high of esteem as the official portion.
Ona second run through I mostly enjoyed the official game with a specific route attempt. But the Dai (mod) was not interesting to replay. Too similar to the first.

The official (Part 1) is a hell of a staple. My only gripe is its too difficult to enjoy casually.

If you have not played this game, are not appalled by rape, and don't mind stupid comedy... and enjoy conquest turn based games... do it.
Also get the Dai Sengoku Rance, as the Part 2 adds a lot and has a bit of a different feel to it. You don't have to play Part 2, but its there if you enjoy the general gameplay and want more story.

I used Cheat Engine to alter values. Even so, Part 1 is very difficult. Honestly I quit the first time long ago because it was too damn hard. But with making Rance high level, max gold, and really high Nation Power, I found it fun to focus on the strategy over the grind.

Quick edit:
I forgot to mention: this is not a fap game. Even if you *love* the scenes, they're not long enough to stimulate for very long, and they're infrequent. They're more for enjoyment mentally, less for fap material.

version 1.07

H-scenes are 1/5. still pictures, lots of useless talking, sex description is boring. some translation issues. it's just not worth to play this if you wanna fap.

i usually only rate for porn scenes in porn games, so why did i still give it 4/5? well this game is an exception. it's actually a nice game underneath the nearly useless porn. just play this after you fapped lul. interesting/unique strategy game and tactical fighting game. they wrote a new engine for it.

my only problem with the game outside of the porn part which i usually just skip is that characters are really 1dimensional... it opens up some comedic scenes due to their shallowness, but it doesn't make up for the silliness of it all... the game doesn't take itself serious on multiple fronts, yet it's such an immersive game that imo they should have taken it a bit more serious and made a good game with not shallow characters. i think the devs didn't expect the game to turn out to be so good, so they just poured all their love into it and had some fun with it without much thought... so it's a decent lighthearted game. it's a bit similar to gintama in many sense. but they are not all that good on the comedic front. and even in gintama the characters are more complicated deep down aside from their shallow exterior. here it's shallow exterior and interior.

aside from that i have no idea why Rance is the secret ruler of that province. it made no sense. maybe if i played previous games i would know.

and there is no tutorial to know what all the stats mean. you have to test a lot of stuff to find out what works and how. (this kinda has its own appeal)

so due to characters and some situation breaking immersion it's not a masterpiece 5/5 game. if it had at least decent porn scenes i would easily give it 5/5. but you don't play this for the porn so i rate it as an actual game from steam, which is a decent game, you will have fun with it if you like strategy/tactical games. so 4/5 altogether.

May be nostalgia speaking a bit here, so I played it again recently, and while a bit more clunky by todays gaming standards the gameplay is still solid as it always was. With a multitude of paths to take and battle options to engage in, with the general goal of unifying Japan in sengoku jidai. The players interests may be diverted by cute characters or princesses, altering ones strategy for the unification.

For H games with gameplay, this one is one of the most fun to date. If you haven't tried it, give it a try, even if the content may not be your particular style.

Whatever the case, a memorable game from someone who played it when they were likely still too young.

My favorite video game. Period.

This game is so fucking good. The gameplay is so unique AND excellent. The replayability is insane, I have more than 200+ hours playing this game and I still don't got every events and character clears.

Don't even play this for the porn. I recommend this as a video game masterpiece. This is one of the best thing humanity ever made.

And now, we also have the Dai Sengoku Rance mod translated, which add a ton of new content if you crave for more.

11/10, best game on this website, maybe just the best game ever, unironically.

The best H game ever made by a very wide margin.

Gameplay, music, depth and overall polish are all well beyond most non-H games.

Huge number of scenes and from memory five major storylines with different heroines to follow. Minor characters number at least thirty of which most have scenes. In this universe if they are female and onscreen, they are almost always H-able.

Expect an initial play-through to take roughly twenty hours depending on which direction you expand (naturally new players will expand at random).
Easily 100+ hours of replayability, even following a detailed guide could take 50+, however I highly recommend figuring it out for yourself unless you are desperate for a particular side character.
The main heroines are railroaded enough that you are unlikely to miss any scenes.

I highly recommend cheat engine set to 2x to speed up unfortunately long animations that can't be turned off.

Must play if you somehow ended up on this site.
This has something for everybody.

Best game on this forum hands down.

A masterpiece.

It's not overcomplicated and it clicks quite soon how the battle works.

H scenes are good and there are a lot of them for every heroine

I'm basically leaving this review here because you gotta try this game at least once and it deserves the 5 stars

This game is so much more than just an eroge. I think it came out in like the 2010s but despite that it has a fantastic story, addictive gameplay, and a unique approach to killing time that other games usually fail to match. I've played the game to completion years ago, and STILL consider it to be worth playing now.


STOP READING MY REVIEW AND PLAY THE FUCKING GAME

Best of the best. I could've made a tiny country with the amount I came to this game. Hasn't been a game quite like this ever since. Sure, attempts were made but this is by far my favorite hentai game ever.

This was one of the first Rance games I played a long time ago and I have yet to find a game that gets me so hooked up on it since. Best game I've ever played, even with the non official translation it had then.

Wouldn't be surprised if this is pretty much THE game that got most people hooked into eroge's. Not much more can be said regarding this legend that hasn't already been said a hundred times on the original page. Best of the series, a genuine complex and enjoyable game even without the H, but made all the better for it. 5/5 like no doubt most of the reviewers will give it.

it's the goat, what else needs to be said
insane gameplay loop,
honestly a shame the rest of the rance series is basically just rpgmaker slop compared to the tactics gameplay here
hyper weapon go brrrr

A legend.

Gorgeous soundtrack, nice plot, hard to finish. Well, it was really hard for me.

Many possibilities because of NG+ with different plot outcomes and different start points.
Also "classic" heroines - *muah*

A masterpice.

This is the game that got me into the Rance series.

Absolutely legendary eroge series. If you are interested, pick this one up first. It does take place in the same world but at a different country with mostly brand-new characters, so you don't need to play the previous games to understand this one.

Serious, pick this up. This game is highly rated for a good reason.

Hello! It's me, Illidan! Today i will review one of the first Hgames i ever played. Hell.... It was such a long time. Sengoku Rance was epitome of gameplay in hgame for me. Well... There is also VN about mechas, but we are not talking about it now. I will rate this hgame by these categories : Translation, Story, Gameplay, Hscenes.

Let's start!
------------------

Translation 5/5 - I won't say anything bad about MangaGamer translation, because it certainly have it's own pros. But i prefer more fan translation. Maybe it's because i played Sengoku Rance with it first

I played Sengoku Rance both with MangaGamer and Fan TL.

Story 4-5/5 - I will rate Rance story as 4-5, because i do think that it does good job, with not pleasant scenes. There is various events, depending on choices you make during campaign, which actually influence flow of the game. Like killing coming advisor and etc.. There is also various routes, though there is one certain route which deserves 1/5 rating. It's Nanjou Ran route. I really don't understand, why they added it. Also death one of Mouri girls... Or foxgirl who infatuated with that eyeball, don't have any scene... Despite being romancable, after his death. Or girls going to enemy side due to game mechanic... Shimazu brothers and girl without love status be like

Gameplay 5/5 - Classic gameplay for hgame of that time. You can easily defend territories with one lord, beat others with strategists or simply kill everyone with unique characters! Choices in game, influence story and many more things. You can even beat blitz events, where supposedly unbeatable bot armies, can be crushed. After finishing the game, you get points and NG+, which allows you easier game start. I would say that i hated only one mechanic and it's random enemy commander capture chance, despite having skill which enchance chance of capturing him. Also shimazu brothers mechanic and their routes... But anyway, it's gameplay of classic Rance! You should try playing it

Hscenes 5/5 - I would like to argue with 5/5 rating... Because for me, scenes isn't that appealing, because of art. But there is plenty of them, which is simply incomparable to hgames and VNs, which are released recently. As far as i recall... There is plenty of rape.
----------
Conclusion 5/5 - It's classic and everyone should try playing Sengoku Rance. Rance series, have some great world building. I spend a lot of time, playing this game and hope you will do same thing as me

This game is a strategy masterpiece. Even without the h content it's worth playing through multiple times. With that said, the artwork is very well done and I enjoy the art style. I actually like it a bit more than many of the Japanese artwork I see today. The game revolves around Rance. He's helping a struggling state to become powerful. He will attempt to take over the country and stop the new evil that emerges. The first play through has a fixed path, but in subsequent play throughs you can diverge from this path to experience new things. There are many beautiful, feminine, and strong women that get ravaged throughout the game as you would expect during a war during the 15/1600s. Despite this, it's fairly light hearted and full of humor. I would always recommend to give it a try. You can get an officially translated English version at gog.com.

review for v1.07

ma fav game ever, legit peak cinema.
Love rance, one of ma top 5 rapists ever.
girls be super cute, rape funny but sometimes rape be sad.
wasted so much time on this game over the years, currently doin another run lol.

A masterpiece, Sengoku Rance is probably one, if not the best on the series, and probably one of the best erogames in general, is really fun to play and has even re-play value, combined with charismatic characters, good music, really hot CG and hours of adictive gameplay.

Still, everygame game has is faults, there is actions on this game that don't have a proper reward for the time and resourses you invest on those, like bulliyg Akechi Mitsuhide or Maeda becoming a Kabuki actor, is not worth the time and resourses on that. There are princess, the once reach the love status, don't get a new CG, like Akihime or Nekohime. Character of other Rance games, take a step back on this one, so new characters take the spotlight, still is nice to have Rizna , kanami or Shizuka on board, but they don't do much on the game. Some good items alocate in different dungeons by RNG, making then really hard to find.

Also, this game is about conquest and rape, some princess get not word or can't avoid been raped by the protagonist Rance, even if those princess interest align with Rance, or recruited on his army. At the same time, Rance masculinity can't be dought, so this game is straight as Rance, just heterosexual sex, and in Rance terms, Only two girl take the active role once (Leia and Suzume) and few actually like it (Kenshin or Mori Teru).

Still, a master piece by any standart. totally recommend to play.
