It’s helped by TADA, bless them, adding a nice little 2x XP mode to boost the grind along should a player choose, but the sheer enormity of Rance Quest Magnum is intimidating. Working on the game actually proved to be even more of a challenge than Sengoku Rance, and that’s mostly because it’s a great deal longer (more than twice as long, as the numbers suggest).
A Rance game with the core of Rance as the driving gameplay mechanic: level up, fuck it up, and then do it all over again. This sends Rance on a campaign of fuckin’ and fightin’ as he searches for powerful ladies as well as the means to break the curse. Rance Quest is well-known for having a major plot device being a curse placed upon Rance such that he cannot, however, penetrate a hole belonging to a woman under level 35. There’s a side bit about his longtime companion and slave, Sill Plain, being stuck in ice from the curse of an Archfiend, but the hole you have access to trumps the hole you don’t, apparently. Rance Quest Magnum marks the 8th entry into the franchise, continuing the new canon timeline from 5D as Rance settles down in the Continent to continue his all-important life directive of banging every beautiful woman in the world. Which is appropriate, because in the grim darkness of the far future, as it turns out there is only Rance. Whether you can stomach the tastes of Alicesoft or not, the green anti-hero of the Continent has definitely Gahahaha~’d his way into the hearts of enough to make the series one of the most desired localizations here at MangaGamer for ages. From a company that just about burned itself out to the point of not wanting to go on, the Rance story burst forth from those ashes to continue to be one of the most unique franchises out there. Rance is, if nothing else, a pretty story in the visual novel medium. WARNING: This post contains spoilers for Rance 5D, VI, and Sengoku Rance.
