[The winner of this award was Rance 01 + 02]
[Voiced by Duke]
In a world where every other porn game is made via RPGMaker, Unity, or Honey Select assets, props to AliceSoft for shooting straight and
delivering proper games for 30+ years. While Rance 02 suffers from being a bit too faithful, 01 on the other hand removes most of the tedium from the first title, and adds some of the extra features from later titles to spice itself up even more.
Furthermore, swapping out the boring exploration of the original for an actually pretty nifty little card game keeps the experience fresh, with the bountiful encounters and hilarious misfortunes that get thrown at you constantly.
Some would say the art lacks the dithered charm of the originals, but it’s a faithful enough adaptation for a younger generation, so I can’t really complain, it could have been so much worse after all. Either way, it’s nice for us non-Nihon speaking Westerners to finally have a way to experience the origins of this series without having to spelunk through the wiki.
The series may have finished in Japan, but with the translation for Rance Quest Magnum and Rance X in the distance, I’m sure it’ll be popping up here for a good few years to come.
