I can see using a walkthrough to unlock bonuses, items, sex scenes, events, character clears and so on...

but following a literally step-by-step walkthrough takes a way a huge strength of Sengoku Rance which is the non-linear C&C gameplay, so shame on you.

Nah, the unintuitive part is figuring out that they are the house bonus in the first place. Obviously you can capture almost all of the commanders of all defeated houses, it's just the odd man out because Takeda is the only House bonus that requires you to do significant work after their storyline is over.
I don't think it is hard to see a patern in house bonuses. It is or houses of heroines of alternative routes that are unlocked by completing them or the strongest houses in the game that are unlocked by recruiting all characters from it. And if exclude brothers, which bonus would screw most routes, and archer girl, who a more like a hostage in her house and as first or second enemy in the game don't even need a bonus, one would know all the house bonuses and how to get them. Of cource iall this thing are obvious ater unlocing all of them, but there are enough information for deducting it.
Anyone played Toushin Toshi 2? It's interesting that in Wapan it's higher rated than Rance Quest and that Yakuza Alicesoft game.
I am not sure about the second one, but is it relly n accomplishment to be rated higher than RQ?
Game itself is OK, but was a quite buggy.

TT2 has aged gameplay but pretty good plot IMO.

Who cares about some loli rape?
Daiakuji is a game where a main mechanic involves mindbreaking girls to sell them into prostitution for income, which is a bit different from loli rape for drama.

Granted this is RPGCodex so a lot of people will probably still play it

So...
Just started to play Sengoku Rance (7) monday night, first time playing any Rance game so not really know any characters or backstory.

And I'm already addicted to this fucking game, played for nearly 7 hours without any break after work hours for 2 days and that is kinda a record for me nowadays.
After conquering half of Japan I realized that playing blind is kinda limited, game is really detailed in every aspect. But still holding myself to look for some documents/tips, going to finish blindly firsy and powergame the fuck out of it on my second playthrough.
Spend most of my satisfaction bonuses on reinforcements which helped a lot after a while. That strategist chick with "Accurate Shots" is simply amazing. Things got much better after giving her some speed and recuiting Kenshin (lolz she really felt in love with the wrong guy), eating 2 AP of whole enemy army is priceless.
Also did some wrong choices it seems (game seems to have a good amount of C&C) feeling like I conquered Tenshi and Iga houses a bit early, wonder if they could delay demon invasion or help me against it.Also recuited some medicore commanders and lost some becuase I could'nt capture them while battling their houses.

There are a lot to write about this one but I want to end my post with words of great wisdom.

"GAHAHAHAHA!"

free for all is mostly worthless (balance is completely broken), but there are four (I think?) routes with different storylines and victory conditions in newgame+.

Try to beat the game in normal again and get some point that you can use for NG+, really worth it.

You are not helping, not at all...
It also seems I missed a lot of content by killing/not capturing some key commanders, this game will be the end of me...

The translations advance slowly.

Rance 5D -The Lonely Girl-: 40% translated; Rance VI -Collapse of Zeth-: 10% translated; Rance Quest Magnum: 16% translated



Was it mentioned that the Rance 01 anime is on the works?

Welcome to the club of tasteful rape performed by gentleman knight for JUSTICE!

Man, I really need to get back to Sengoku and finish the Ran route, I've done the others.
