Rance Series

[Red Eye]

Mangagamer will never release Rance 5D

VI won't happen for years.

Escalayer will be the logical next step after Haruka.

Anyone who buys Haruka for the sole reason of possibly getting Rance latter is an idiot

hey nerds where is sengoku rance 2

They're only remaking the earlier games.

I do want a Kichikuou Remake so much though.

Dai series seems dead unfortunately

Daiakuji would literally be the perfect game for the codex

Escalayer will be the logical next step after Haruka.

That doesn't seem like the logical step at all, considering its more dated than Haruka even with the updated rerelease (I can't even call it a remake).

If someone was going to release Escalayer at all, they would have done it first and probably tried to do an H-Anime tie-in because that adaptation was actually decently well-liked.

The updated re-release is from like 2014 or 2013.

Haruka is from 2008

 

[TigerKnee]

Yeah, I know the updated release came after Haruka, but the gameplay and content is less overall because Escalayer is still an older game design e.g only 1 girl instead of 3 to train.

It'll definitely look like you're going backwards if you release things like that.

I think Evenicle might be a good bet for the next project - it's standalone and you can try to market it based on the Senran artist.

Evenicle is pretty new. Alicesoft is apparently reluctant because of risk of reverse importing. Especially since the MG release would be a lot cheaper and uncensored

Has there been any news about Rance X? I kind off detached myself after the whole bullshit about HBB.

 

[Karwelas]

Best Rance to start, guys?

 

[TheEntitledOne]

Sengoku, no doubts.

Nothing new.

They're doing Tsumamigui 3 which will be released in Jan.
They've apparently got another gameplay focused released after that but that's all that has been revealed.

And they're going into mobile games.

Rance 04 is also obviously coming at some point.

Best Rance to start, guys?

Unless you can read Japanese, Sengoku

 

[TigerKnee]

And they're going into mobile games.

Get ready for Rance gacha and draining your wallets for SSR Shizuka cards because she's your waifu.

And then a spinoff game with Shizuka replacing Sill in order to cash in on this.

Everything is right with the world.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

Whatever happened to that game where you play as an upriser in a Feminazi dystopia? DID THAT EVER GET TRANSLATED?

No. It's a great game though so I wish it was.

FUUUUUUUUCk

so did we get anything similar to Sengoku Rance in the past few years? I know Kiko got translated - still need to give that a fair shake.

That's not accurate actually. Many of those endings have significant time skips (Isoroku, Miracle).

Really wonder if X will have a time skip as well, in the context of the non-canon(?) ending foreshadowing.

 

[TigerKnee]

Honestly until economic factors change you really shouldn't expect any Grand Strategy Games from Alicesoft for a while - Sengoku burned them out a lot and My Little Hitler Can't Be This Kawaii was a bomb.

You notice they're doing a lot of remakes nowadays and even the "new" games tend to have reused engines/assets and tend towards a simpler side like Evenicle and Rannce 9 so their financial status can't be as thriving as it should be.

edit: Oh right, if you're REALLY starved for a Japanese Grand Strategy Game, Eiyuu Senki got its English PS3 release but it's significantly less good than Sengoku.

In regards to the different endings I'm pretty sure the intention was to just have them all in the chart and not to try and date them.

Kanami end of Rance IX is at least 9 months after Rance IX.
Miracle end actually isn't too extended (at most a year). Rance and Miracle got aged by the teleporting magic.

Plus the image TADA put in 03

The water is the eroge market and the boat is Alicesoft.

It's a pretty small, niche market with a lot of competition and high levels of piracy. And Alicesoft went through a period of about 7-8 years of producing a lot of mediocre stuff and also major disappointments like vanilla Rance Quest and Daiteikoku.
Rance IX, Evenicle (especially) and Rance 03 have shown signs of a revival though.

And of course people who want a grand strategy porn game can wait for this highly original title

 

[TheEntitledOne]

what

 

[Karwelas]

Let's sum my today adventure for first time playing Rance game - Sengoku

First 30 minutes - Hmm, this game is kind of weird, but it is strategy. Heh, maybe it will be fun.
First hour - Jesus, Rance is a jerk... but hey, he can't be that bad, right?
Second hour - Fuck you damn ninja... WAIT RANCE I DIDN'T MEAN IT NO.
Hour nr 3 - Here I come, you little bitch princess!
Hour nr 4 - I WILL FUCK THEM ALL, JAPAN WILL BE MINE, FUCK ALL OF YOU, JOIN ME OR FALL. HAHAHAHAHA...

Spoiler

Help me I lost my soul already, I love Rance and this game.
