Tem algumas piadinhas engraçadas, de resto vá para o inferno.
This was like playing Ys 1 but fucked up.
Playing a game from before a lot of genres and their mechanics were codified is such a unique experience. The combat and dungeon crawling is extremely limited and is kinda just kinda a glaze on top of a point and click adventure game, but it's interesting that it's there and sort works at all. The adventure game is about what you'd expect of having a lot of runaround for singular items to continue.
With that all said, this is an H-game where the sexual content is not hidden in nooks and crannies. Maybe it's a bit interesting to see this kinda of stuff integrated into the game instead of purely a reward at the end of specific routes and scenes, but also idk if I could stomach this game at all if it was more complex and involved. Even in its first entry, Rance is an H-game that is pretty bad in what the main character does. Though the CGs are single images with a short bit of dialogue, there are plenty of scenes of sexual assault and other explicit images. Like, yeah, this was a hentai game made in the 80s. Probably one of the more interesting ways this integrated is that the combos of how you fuck your partner Sill gives you your different magic spells. Something something gameplay story integration. The epilogue scene of Rance and Sill needing to bounce as soon as they find out that having sex with the princess means they have to get married and they leave an entire tub full of GOLD (which Rance mentions hurts to bath in) was also funny and makes me fearful that the comedy and writing of the larger series might actually be good.

Strangely charming game that's bogged down by shitty point and click-esque progression logic. Had fun exploring the town and castle for the first 75% of the game but to finish you have to take actions in a hyper specific order, making it extremely tedious to progress without a guide.
All Rance games get -1 star for the excessive rape automatically too.

this game is tedious to play without a walkthrough, also exploring the map can get annoying if you're not used to it. i feel like the plot doesn't take itself too seriously at all and there really isn't too much except that you're some guy who SA's girls... i'll keep playing however because i hear the games get a little better.
I think this game is a good short game. The gameplay didn't aged that well but since this game came out in the 80s, I think it did a good job at being a good RPG on the PC-98. while the gameplay is super simple tuned based RPG with a bit of ADV style during towns, it has lots of charm and a enjoyable plot. It'll only take you about 3 hours if following a guide and you'll need it since back in the 80s, games expects the player to spend a lot of time figuring out what to do and takes note through trial and error to the point of being unfair that requires you to start the game all over again. It may be bad game design today but back then this was normal.
