Description

Returning from his grand adventure of unifying Nippon, Rance is back home and planning to take it easy for a while. Being Rance, though, he's barely into his vacation before he's getting into trouble and he's struck with a debilitating curse! Under the curse, Rance is unable to have sex with any woman under level 35, and if he goes without a woman for too long, he just might find himself turned off from them forever (if he can even hold out that long). Seems there's no time for a vacation after all! Rance sets off on another grand (though not always grave) adventure across the Continent: to find and fuck all the girls over level 35 he can get his hands on.

Chasing his (ig)noble goal, you will challenge hundreds of quests and recruit dozens of characters. There's a huge variety of adventures, dungeons, missions (both weighty and wacky), and sexy things all waiting for you! Meet new faces and return to old companions' beds while you do whatever and whoever it takes to break Rance's curse.

<report>To be honest, I didn't expect myself to like this Rance entry as much as I do, since Sengoku has given me high expectations.

There's so much content here and it doesn't even have to be for the main story, Quest is just really good at giving particular characters, great moments on their own,

The Magnum expansion is also great and did so much more with Crook and introducing Am as well, and having one of my favorite final boss themes, I was not disappointed.

I had about 170 hours and it took me about a month to do almost everything, except World 2 and 3 which I might be doing soon, however my only complaint with this game might be the level design cause I'm not really a fan of it.

Aside from that, I love this game a lot and I can't wait for Rance IX.

<report>Lower than Rance VI on my list. Game is pretty tedious and without TADA path I would drop it from ~7 to ~6, the grind is just way too much, and some mechanics are straight up stupid

The good: story (side stories included), CG's, great supporting cast (hard carrying this), Rance
The bad: grind, mediocre combat at best, useless characters (I had to mod-in abilities so I don't die of boredom leveling them to see the scenes), pacing (game has been released in two parts and it clearly shows), stupid mechanics - you have to learn loot mechanics/tables or you won't get shit (for example you have to have item x in order to drop item y, and x is a max lvl up consumable...)

Game felt more tedious than Rance VI gameplay-wise, but I still give it a 7 as a fan, honestly... it probably is not deserved

<report>Very good game, very fun game. Strategic gameplaying elements are more fun that a lot of AAA games I have played.
Stands the test of time, can be played even today to great enjoyment. Novelty doesn't wear off. Still looking for a game like this.

<report>easily one of the weaker additions to the rance series, story is decent but has the absolute worst gameplay. Sucks because rance gameplay is usually great in how unique it is, but in this game the gameplay is basic and generic.

LOTS AND LOTS of fan service! Almost every char gets either character development or some really funny scenes. really cool!

A pretty important (but honestly skippable) part of the rance mythology, pretty mid.

For those who are interested in playing:
1. use Tada mode to skip a lot of the grinding
2. use guides on the rance wiki for finding characters and solving quests. There is a lot of obscure/poorly communicated info.

<report>I waited so long for this and now that I've played and finished it, I can say I was not disappointed at all. In fact it exceeded my expectations despite all the so-so things I've heard about it.

2 things are the central theme of this game and that is religion and family affairs. Not really something that sounds all that interesting at first but once you throw Rance into the equation, these concepts quickly get turned on their head in some hilarious ways. Rance a family man? Rance having anything to do with religion? Its not hard to imagine all the things that can go wrong, and Quest does a great job of delivering on a lot of that.

Compared to past titles, Rance's overall character does... Read more »

<report>Came into this completely blind. Overall very disappointing, plotwise the worst Rance game I've played, I enjoyed 4.1 and 4.2's more even.

The pacing is completely off, from what I've read they released the base game and then later the huge Magnum update. The base game has almost no real story, then suddenly when you complete a certain quest that used to be the last a whole new story starts getting developed out of nowhere. Both stories are completely uninteresting.
I preferred the interactions with the two factions (kalar and the church) far more in Kichikuou Rance. I thought the green village and Kaito were done much better in KR as well.

I didn't enjoy the plot with the curse on Rance... Read more »

<report>to sum it up in two words: wasted potential

there are plenty of characters. yes plenty. and with plenty characters mean gameplay balancing and their skills/stats have to be consistent with their character. this alone I can say with confidence that Alicesoft truly gave so much thought in this regard.

which is also the downside: it feels like they're just there and that's it. don't get me wrong, the character skits are great... and nothing else. they probably figured out that most people will just skip the h scenes, thus didn't bothered with over half of the playable characters. personally loved Tomato, Rizna, Nozomi and Urza, all of which didn't had hcg.

the gameplay however is bad. if... Read more »

<report>Rance Quest Suffering. That's how I'd call this game instead of Magnum.

I don't even know where to begin with this one. It's just the worst. I'd even say that I'd rather replay 5D than this one. It feels like TADA's April Fools' joke. Everything about this game is bad, really. Alright, let's start.

-Story. Bad, bland, stupid and almost completely unimportant for the rest of the series except for a couple of moments and one REALLY good moment where they tell you some more very important pieces of lore. It's definitely not worth it playing 80+ hours just for these moments. Rance's interactions with Reset were pretty fun though.

-Characters. Non-existent. I'm serious. After the first... Read more »
