![]() ![]() Add to that myriads of small choices and events the consequences of which can get back at you 30 turns later and kick you in the balls or make you scream like a virgin. WW has picked the most official path (True route) but they are there. Rance has 4 official + 2 unofficial routes that can totally change the gameplay, story and ending. While SC2 offers 4 fake choices (no real consequence, beside access to some tech and slightly different last mission). When a porn game that is supposed to be all tongue-in-cheek is actually more serious than EPIC, GRIMDARK AAA title you know you are nearing rock-bottom. Before actually reallising wtf was going on. And after promising that much we get a cookie-cutter story about space cowboys doing shit and dawning booze and somehow against odds winning against an idiot of a villain where in, say, Sengoku Rance with the amount of incompetence they show they would have been steamrolled into pancakes. The setting promises interstellar struggle of enormous proportions, three different races with completely different mindsets locked in a hopeless struggle for survival. Let's take the blasted abomination of StarCraft2 campaign as an example (just because I'm so pissed off at it and because SC2 like Rance actually has a good gameplay). In many mainstream titles we see a reverse tendency. You need to play the game to experience it. The Lp, despite WW's best efforts, doesn't always do the justice here, unfortunately. Figures such as Houjou Soun, Takeda leaders, Kenshin, Inukai, Gekkou, Isoroku are testament of that. Secondly, and more importantly it actually proves to be more complex than it initially seems, not only in terms of sheer gameplay but also as far as the plot and (the greatest surprise of all) character development is concerned. But, as I gather, that is not enough for either you nor me. That is fair enough and some people may like it solely for that. From turn one you know what to expect from it - a fun comedy with a little porn here and there. Regarding you first question I think there is a valid reason why even such mainstays of our little boneyard community as Ghostdog and WhiskeyWolf enjoy this little game greately. Sengoku Rance strives to be original, well thought out and above all addictive as hell. But even in face of it all the game is not just good for what it is (hate that meme). A simple low budget game catering for niche market - that somehow has higher production values (in terms of sheer polish and replaybility) than 90% AAA titles.Īnd yes it is often stupid, yes it is extremely corny, and yes I would rather it treated itself more seriously and if not removed altogether, then at least minimise the idiotic H-content. We keep getting fed by rubbish we pay (ok, most people here do not remove it from inventory) and be happy with it and say thank you like the rest of drooling "fans" (why I always think of a electric device when I use this word, I have no idea.).Īnd then comes Sengoku Rance. The stems from the simple fact that every other mainstream shit out there is not worth wasting you breath over. Now, however, I believe that it is not the Codex that is at fault in this matter - rather, the gaming industry as a whole is to blame. To see LPs of porn games on mah Codex seemed the sign of utter and yeah I still consider it is. I was a crusader against all garbage in gaming and I saw hentai as the worst filth on earth that should be purged with EXTREME prejudice :Shepard.
