[Lyric] Kamige Award for best eroge (2021 Vidya Gaem Awards)

[The winner of this award was Rance Quest Magnum]

Another year, another Rance game taking the crown. You guys just voted for this because of name recognition, didn't you? But I guess it's pretty easy to laugh at shit taste when you spend most your time in generals dedicated to this stuff.

Rance Quest suffers from forced grinding, dull dungeons, and monster taming that can only be described as a drag. Sure, I mean, you can only have sex with girls above level 35. Maybe that's what it takes to survive a stab from the hypеr weapon. But then their lеvel resets, forcing you to grind them up, before they can grind up against you again. Sengoku Rance was famous for people "coming" for the porn, and staying for the gameplay, but Quest has people staying for the characters.

But even the worst Rance games are some of the better porn games. Rance Quest has a fantastic cast of new and returning characters, and plenty of time to get introduced to them across hundreds of quests and thousands of events. Rance remains an immature brat desperate for sex, but is more irritable than ever with his new curse and the threat of turning gay if he doesn't have sex for too long. He's joined by the ever pitiful failure of a ninja Kanami, the former psychopath redeemed by dick Lia, the walking forehead Magic, and many more. Their interactions are what keep things fun, with plenty of the series' famous humor along the way, ensuring the only dull moments are every second you actually play the game.
