<report>This is a neat little JRPG, but unfortunately I can't give it too much praise. The level designs seem to be built around going back to the same places over and over again, which is excruciatingly painful for a game with random encounters. To be more annoying, these random encounters are fire emblem style tactic fights. Thankfully, they did put an auto battle system, but sometimes your character makes a dumb choice and dies. It's also not always clear where you're meant to go, in which case you could be wandering for an unreasonable amount of time. To add a cherry on top, every few minutes an entire dialogue pops up and afterwards you're forced to go back and sleep.

The art is dated, but still has that Alicesoft charm, and the story is the only redeeming factor for me.

<report>Fourth and best one so far, art took a leap forward, outside of rance and sill there is some good new characters.

Plot is still fun and entertaining, gameplay is the best it's been.

Recommended for sure, best one so far !

<report>It's a fairly decent entry in the Rance series. It starts right after the events of 03 and tells a pretty unique story once again. This one mostly concentrates on some very important aspects of the lore. Music was pretty nice (this one has my favorite normal battle theme out of all Rance games I played). Rance being cool as usual, sometimes acting like a jerk. Although it was in IV where he truly showed care for Sill. Well, in 01 and 03 there were also similar moments, but not as great as in this one. Gameplay was pretty archaic, since it's a very old game. Sometimes it was a bit painful to play. Nevertheless, it wasn't anything too frustrating and it wasn't unfairly difficult like some later games will be.
Overall, a pretty decent game with a fair share of problems, but still good.

<report>I can't even conceive into words how boring this game is. It just fails in every aspect that would make it be an enjoyable experience.

Although the gameplay has some interesting strategy traits, after almost 2k battles, which more than 70% are useless and won't even give you a good amount of XP, you just wanna jump out of the window when the same monster appears in front of you and you have to deal with painful 40 seconds in what's supposed to be an easy battle that should have last less than 5 seconds but everything is so slow that this will never happen.
As if this wasn't enough to make the gameplay excessively tiresome, every 5 minutes you are obligated to return do town, read the same... Read more »
