Having played this after consuming the digest versions of Rance I & II available, I believe, as part of a release of Rance VI, III was my first proper experience with the series. And honestly, it's a lot better than I'd anticipated it being for a 1991 doujin RPG. The comedy is genuinely really consistent and reminds me of a blend of early Dragonball, Urusei Yatsura and Golden Boy. The dungeons left a bit to be desires and I guess you could argue that the gameplay is banal, but I found it really fun to casually play while listening to a podcast or dicking around with friends in voice calls. It's cool to see even here how Alicesoft was trying to tie events and plot beats from the first two games into III to create something larger - and with an ending that crazy, I had no idea what to expect as the credits rolled. Art also saw a massive step up as well, and a few of the tracks here are pretty catchy. I had a better time with this one than I anticipated!
