Commanders have troop numbers that decide how strong they are, along with commander stats and troop stats that improve their strength. And finally you can attack places, and you can attack as many times as you can send a commander so long as you don’t take a new town.Ĭombat is similar to Sengoku but simpler.

You can do one town event, which is usually going to be for clearing characters or recruiting. You can explore one area, usually a dungeon, where you send a single commander to fight basically random encounters as they progress in the hopes of finding treasure. You can call a merchant to buy a select few items from and even hire some mercenaries who will fight a single battle for you. You can refill and increase troop sizes once a turn. You can sleep with one girl a turn in the harem mode which gives Rance xp, or talk to a commander for some short talk usually with the purpose of clearing a character. Okay, as for actual gameplay you can do a few things. This leads to a game where you cannot possibly see all the content in a single run, an you can still see new things on your third or fourth run. An example, there 66 girls in this game with clear endings, but they all have both good and bad ones. Overall what plot there is works and makes the characters unique enough that player should be able to recognize most of them at the end a playthrough. Though I will say some major events don’t really get the recognition you would expect. You go through conquering each area with very little overarching story, enjoying the game and some random character stories provided by either your harem girls or your commanders. Zeth(China like country) gets the least with the Monster Realm getting the most. He tries to get an army and ends up marrying Lia, the Queen of Leazas to get an army to take Sill back and conquer the world.įrom their you play the game and each major area gets its own plot. There he is picked up by a Kanami from the previous games and brought bakck to health at Leazas Castle. Rance makes it to the border of Helman(Russia like country) and Leazas(German like). She gets sent to jail along with another bandit, and Rance is forced to run.

Due to pissing off a military general, your entire crew gets destroyed and in the confusion, Rance loses Sill, his slave. This is also the first Rance game with fun gameplay, and for those introduced to the series through Sengoku this game’s combat is very similar. Kichikuou is the if story of Rance that asks the question, what if Rance took over the whole world? This is kinda like the Final Fantasy of Alicesoft, as this game’s success was the deciding factor on if Alicesoft would survive as a company. Length- 25+ hours on the first playthrough depending on amount read and if you don’t skip through fights. Created by Alice-Soft, translated by Arunaru.
