DHR is FFA(National Edition) and Dai Sengoku Rance is extension to Sengoku that adds part 2 after you conquer whole JAPAN.
DSR is originally made by japanese person and DHR is made by english speaking person

I'm guessing there's hardly any femdom in this one?
If you're looking for femdom, the Rance series is not going to be your jam. There's a pretty cute scene with Leila (a reinforcements character), but other than that, I can't remember any femdom scenes worth anything. Sometimes Rance gets a bit overwhelmed by Suzume? But I wouldn't call it "femdom" really.

Is it worth it? Cause everybody says it's a good game, but 7th image terrifies me...
Well, I read some posts, and... Bruh, is there really that much rape? I know, I'm not a very soft person, but if it's like it's described... Well, I'm out sadly()

It's among the most standalone ones in the series, however. Feel free to give it a try and see what you think.
he is right
although the series follows a chronological order, you can actually start whichever you want and not missing much
I also start with Sengoku Rance, Rance Quest, Rance 1, Rance 9, Rance 2, Rance 3, Rance 6, and Rance 5D (haven't played Rance 4 coz I'm not fond of old UI and Rance 10 coz it's still in Japanese)

Gameplay is so addictive. Girls are fire. Soundtracks are amazing, kinda gives Dynasty Warriors vibes to me.
I haven't finished the game yet but it's been very satisfying so far.

Sengoku Rance legitimately doesn't need to be played in order with the rest of the franchise.

You do get a bit out of doing that but Rance 7 was canonically set outside the usual area the Rance titles take place in so other than Rance and Sill, who's character dynamic you pick up in about 2 minutes, and Chaos, who isn't that hard to figure out, all the throw backs and recurring characters are localized to six specific characters- Leila, Kanami, Maria, Rizna, Urza and Magic.

So out of something like 80 or 90 unique characters, roughly 6 of them are call backs. And the writing is tight enough that they give you a brief background for anything pertinent to the plot and otherwise at worst you'll probably be asking questions like, "Who's Rick? Who's Lia? What's a Zeth?" Which, there are games that can be played if you want to find out. But none of it really has any bearing on the plot itself.

But Sengoku Rance is such a departure from the rest of the franchise that there's no real harm in playing it as a standalone. Numerical order is still best, though.

I wouldn't play Rance 8, Rance 9 or Rance 10 without playing the rest of the franchise. I also wouldn't play Rance 3 or 4 without first playing 1 and 2. And I wouldn't play Rance 5 without playing Rance 2. And I wouldn't play Rance 6 without at least playing the first three games.

Rance 1, 2 and 3 are important because they introduce most of the franchise-spanning recurring characters. Rance 4 is semi-skippable but it does start to flesh out the wider lore of the franchise, particularly surrounding the Holy Sect and the Warlords. It also introduces Athena 2.0, who is one of the more consistent reoccurring characters. Also Freak, who's important in Rance 9. Rance 5 introduces two 'fun' characters- Rizna and Compandon- but can otherwise be skipped since the plot has the least bearing on the rest of the franchise. With Rance 6 you could skip Rance 5 and not lose too much but Rance 5 is also pretty short. And you should probably also at least play Rance 1 and 2 first.

Really the only game you could play out of order is Rance 7.

my bad, what I assumed is when you want to clear all the rance series. So even if you don't know something from the later series, it would be answered later.
IMO, I also wouldn't recommend Rance 8, 9, and 10 coz it have a huge plot spoiler. Rance 1 is obviously okay as it's the first one. Rance 2 and 3 though, I don't think it impact that much beside the introduction of the franchise-spanning recurring characters. Rance 4 is my biased opinion coz I can't stand the old UI. I agree with you for Rance 5. Rance 6 is the same as Rance 2 and 3, but I like it more (again with the biased opinion). Lastly, I don't think I need to explain about rance 7.
well in short, I would recommend Rance 1 (obviously), Rance 6, and Rance 7 to start the Rance series. then again, it is just my opinion.

Did you try TADA's patch?

Rance 2 introduces Maria, Shizuka, Mill, Milli, Elenoa, Bird, and Feliss. It's also not that long a game. Really I wouldn't skip any of the first three games because none of them are a huge time investment and their difficulty curves aren't going to have you bricking entire runs. And that's without the obvious, "This is where we first see most of the franchise's core characters" thing.

Rance 4 is semi-skippable. I'd definitely try using the TADA quality of life patch before swearing it off entirely, though. It's the first appearance of Athena 2.0, and Freak. It also continues a B-plot from the Patton arc from the previous game. And it's also the first time Alicesoft sits down and starts fleshing out the world lore for things like the Holy Sect and the Warlords. Rance 4 is where the franchise goes from goofy porn games with gameplay and plot to an actual world with jokes and porn and gameplay.

Rance 5 is very skippable, because it only introduces two new characters and mostly serves to move Rance from the 4th game to the sixth game. Although Rizna's a great character and her story arc is somewhat relevant to the plot of Rance 6. And Compandon is just fun. To it's credit, even though Rance 5's gameplay loop and combat systems are weird, the game is also the shortest in the franchise.

Rance 6 I would discourage skipping. While it is Rance at it's hardest (pun intended), it's also the start of the (loose) starting point for the end of the franchise. What sets 6 apart from 7 is that where 7 has a small cast of call back characters, Rance 6 is absolutely stuffed with them, and is following up on B and C plots from previous games. About half of the roster of characters are from previous games in contrast to SR where it's more like 6 in a total roster of ~80. Rance 6 is continuing the Patton Arc. Rance 7 has Rance eating dango.

I've already covered Sengoku Rance but if you had to play exactly one Rance title, it'd be 7.

8, 9, 10, don't play without playing the rest of the franchise first.

Kichikuo can safely be played after playing 1-4, but it's a non-canonical spin off so the only pin I'd stick in it is to play it BEFORE playing Sengoku Rance for the same reason it's hard to go from something like Halo to the old PS1 / N64 era first person shooters.

yeah, it does help with the smoother control, but in my case it's more about the graphic.
I have played it just until Io joined Rance's party to manipulate him. Maybe I will continue it when I got nothing to do anymore with the other games.

I've already covered Sengoku Rance but if you had to play exactly one Rance title, it'd be 7.
I agree with you for this one coz it have a balance between interesting gameplay, hard difficulty, and good story.
I also played Sengoku Rance way earlier before I started the other series. Then when I suddenly got fired up to start the rance series, I replayed Sengoku Rance with the Dai Sengoku mod. I kinda regret it coz it has some spoiler for Rance 10 (I don't read the warning lol). Thankfully, I'm more of a person who gets motivated when they got spoiled rather than discouraged.

Here's a little mod I made for myself that I thought I would share:

If you're a weirdo like me and prefer mosaic CG's more than the uncensored ones but still want to play the updated release of the game this patch will add the mosaics back.

Just put the patch file in the game directory alongside the .exe

NOTE: This will not work with the Dai Sengoku mod since it will override the patch file already in the games directory. After a little bit of testing it is definitely possible, but if I'm gonna make it compatible with that mod then I would like to at least play the mod first and see if there are more scenes to change before I work on it.
