His romance with Sil is absolutely beautiful (wait for it cause it takes a bit to blossom) and even with some of the other characters it’s pretty great.Īm I comfortable with the idea that a guy can be an asshole, beat the shit out of a woman, rape her, and then she falls in love with him because he has a giant dick? No not at all. He manages to make all kinds of women fall in love with them, and treats most of them fairly well. And I don’t recommend the story to anyone.īut if you can get past that they are great games, the story is well written and each game expands upon it in a fantastic way, and Rance slowly becomes a lovable character (though still generally a piece of shit until the very end). Rape, forced sex from positions of power (such as abusing wishes, refusing to save a life, withholding medicine or information) and plenty of taking advantage of someone’s kindness are incredibly common in these games. I have since played through every title enough to say each one is quite an amazing game and that Rance is only a piece of shit about.

Honestly I’d compare them to the Eushully titles (though those center on Romance in every game rather than rape). And the idea of girls falling in love with their rapist is just ridiculous.īut the game play in some of these is top notch. It took me a while to play Rance because I’m just not a fan of rape in games. My views here are definitely affected by that. I think it’s actually important for me to preface this by saying that I am a woman. I just wanted to share these words with those who are already immersed in this universe, as well as those who are not yet there may be a lot of prejudice towards this franchise, but if you give it a chance you are likely to be very pleasantly surprised. To this day nothing has ever made me feel that level of fun, satisfaction or appreciation for a work of fiction, do I regret it? Not at all Rance killed fiction for me, but at the same time it gave me one of the most enjoyable moments of my life. My days of waking and sleeping thinking about Rance were over, and there came a huge sense of emptiness. When the credits rolled, all I could do was stare at the screen for several minutes, and that's when I realised it was all over. today is a good day to enslave humanity." *Sound from afar: "GAHAHAHAHA!* Kayblis: ".What the hell was that?"Įverything about this game is incredible: the mechanics, the soundtrack, the characters, the endings, the true ending.
