Miscellaneous bonuses is sort of the catch-all category. Though, I should mention that Items are basically things that you give to your generals to either improve their stats, their skills, or various other things. Similarly the concept behind Item Bonus is also simple. Single character bonuses are basically self explanatory. House bonuses are basically a collection of characters all tied to an opposing nation.įor instance, if I were to grab the Takeda bonus, I would start the game with the four Takeda generals already hired and part of my army, but this will also result in the Takeda faction of the map beginning the game at war with me. However! This route also lacks much of a demon presence, and so the Shimazu house steps up to provide some antagonism, as they try to steal Rance's women out from under him. It's centered mainly around the Houjou house, and related affairs. Nanjou Ran's route: This route diverges quite early, and for reasons that will become obvious if I play any of the other routes.
Following the focus is still on defeating the demons, but there's also the secondary mission of helping Isoroku to rebuild her house that had been destroyed. you let a tragedy occur in the plot of the main route. Yamamoto Isoroku's route: This spin-off route happens if. In this one, you accidentally trigger the Emperor Race, and have to try to get Kenshin to win it. Uesugi Kenshin's route: This spin-off route focuses on the "Goddess of War", and involves an entirely different focus than most of the other routes (which involve fending off the Demon Army in one fashion or other). Also of note are the recurring encounters with the so-called Demon King, Miki, and her travelling companion Kentarou. It chronicles the uprising of the Demon Xavier, as brought about by the accidental breaking of the gourds that kept the seal on him while Rance tries to unify the warring states. The True History route: This is the canon path, and deals mainly with Oda Nobunaga and his younger sister Kouhime. A brief discussion of them follows below. (This is where question 3 comes in for you guys, I desire input on just how much censorship I should lay down.)Īs far as Routes go, while for quite awhile the game follows pretty much a standard path, and one of them is the canon route, assuming you're playing on a file that has completed the game at least once, you can enter into alternate "What if?" routes, which branch off of the main storyline and focus on some of the other characters. That said, it's also a hentai game, and features its fair share of sexual material which is obviously unfit for public consumption. It's a hybrid Visual Novel/Strategy Game, and combines vaguely Romance of the Three Kingdoms-like empire and generals management with a turn based combat system where your generals command their armies (also a dungeon mode where the generals fight on their own skills), alongside very detailed storyline and strong character interactions. Okay, to begin with, Sengoku Rance has impressively addictive gameplay, at least in my opinion. I'll answer a few brief questions about the game, and illustrate a few of the mechanics here via screenshots, because that way you'll understand what you're voting for.
I may completely ignore any and all suggestions, I expect the thread to get cluttered up, and I'd rather keep the main thread clean(er) and neat(er) if/when I actual make it. posting here because I'm just trawling for random thoughts.
