It has been more than 10 years since i played this legendary Alicesoft title! Sengoku Rance, among many VN titles is the one that make me hooked into Visual Novels. Rance series had been a Big Shot in its industry and one that had survived Three Decades worth of journey, an achievement that not many can brag about. The Visual Novel basically all about adventure of warrior named Rance who is known for his extreme lust. An unlikely material for a Hero, but he had what it takes to save humanity with him going for an epic adventure in each iterations. Recently i decided to get back into Rance series once again starting from Sengoku Rance after i saw some videos of Rance X which served as the epic conclusion for an epic series.
Rance series had one of the best Fantasy JRPG setting out there with its rich amount of worldbuilding that even puts many JRPG to shame, not something expected from an 18+ Visual Novel. While majority of the groundwork laid in the Kichikuou Rance, Sengoku Rance is one of the sequel that actually put better use on them complemented with very good gameplay. AFAIK Rance series gameplay are mostly Wizardry esque JRPG but for once Sengoku Rance is a grand strategy game which makes you lead an army and unify JAPAN. Therefore this is actually one of the best gateway for Rance series of all 10 titles in the series. At the moment i am doing my first run and now close to complete the game. Back then i only finished the True History and Isoroku Route, but this time i will finish Kenshin's route at very least. If you are interested in Visual Novel, Rance is one of the best one out there if you prefer the JRPG genre.
