Just happened to notice on Mangagamer's website that those two games are to be released on Dec 23.



Personally I am way more excited about 5d than VI, as 5d actually has some unique and fun gameplay that feels more like a board game, which I am really into.

How come there's no option to buy them separately? Is one really short or something?

What if Rance's hyper weapon is disappointingly small after it's true size gets revealed because of no censorship? XD

Let's hope Rance doesn't have a No Man's Sky Hyper Weapon.

5D is pretty short I think.

Hey, I didn't know there was a translated and uncensored version of Beat Blades Haruka.

So does this mean we will finally have the full series up to Sengoku Rance translated finally? God I remember years ago when I first heard of, then played, that game. Kinda funny that we got the, I believe, 7th game in the series first.

A symbiote, it's kind of that girl's shtick which also gives her a bunch of unique combat abilities. Think of it as a variation of the stereotypical ninja bug user nonsense. More here if you want to know more, it's not exactly plot integral but it does have some possible spoilers so be careful;

Also, that's probably one of the least weird things that happens all things considering, if memory (and poor grasp of the language) serves then one scene has Rance switch bodies with a girl who was bodyswapped with a monster and the monster in Rance's body then rapes Rance in the girls body. Something like that anyway.

As for the people wondering about why you can't buy the games separately, 5D is essentially just a bonus game that you get for free and hell, even Rance VI itself is unusually cheap.

If you've played Sengoku Rance take note that this isn't an SRPG like that, it's more of a traditional dungeon crawler (think along the lines of the dungeons from SR, but far more in depth and expansive)

These are the last two games up to SR that haven't been translated, there's a UI translation for Rance Quest and that's possibly next after this.

Should also note that all the older Rance games have been getting remakes that do change quite a bit and require completely new translations, but 03 especially (Rance 3 remake) is really damn good.

5D is pretty short I think.
5D is by far the shorter game, but the event wheel and time management systems give it a lot of replayability, something that is sorely lacking in many other hentai games, and even most other Alicesoft games that aren't Dungeons and Dolls.

Sengoku Rance remains one of the most fun video games I've ever played, even without any H content. I remember trying to play it when I had roomates around and explaining the mechanics of the game, and then having to cover my ass and say "Oh yeah and there's some porn stuff to it, too". But from time to time I still try and go back to play some different route, or see how efficiently i can make it through the game this time.

For the life of me, I haven't been able to find many other games like it. The PlayStation had one called Brigandine, but that's really all I know of.

There is Kichikuou Rance although sengoku better version of it (in my opinion) , but Kichikuou plus side is that events take place in whole world not only in Japan.

Personally i think the contrary. Kichikuou Rance was a much better game, be it because of the many bad events, bad endings and the choices, it was the best in many points.

However sengoku rance had the pros that come with a more actual time, which is a better gameplay for battles, management and images.

Re: Rance VI and 5d coming out in English in 4 days!

Oh...

Some questions:
- Are these games independant ? Or do you need to play all Rance to understand anything about the story?
- Any planned censorship in the translation?

Christmas release~

Maybe because I played Sengoku first I liked it more than Kichikuou, but the latter remains a close second.
Too bad for the latest ones though, couldn't really enjoy them.

These games are independent, but other games add a lot of depth and explains some relationships, but it's entirely possible to play them out of order as every game is a complete story with a new villain and the plot and its elements are properly explained. At most you'll miss some recurring jokes and references, but if you've played Sengoku Rance it's much like that.

The translation is actually the only decensored and HD version available, as the original games were both lower quality and had the usual mandatory Japanese censorship. As for actual content being censored, no, not at all.

The thing in the end is just to have fun, in fact there are many who disliked kichikuou because it was truly dark, with many characters deaths, bad events and some sudden bad endings.

I personally prefer games that are a bit dark, however not too dark :). Sengoku was quite light hearted except just two or three events... the saddest ones were kou, and if you take uesugi as a vassal state when the uncle gives the offer...
