With over 50 characters you're sure to find at least a few that you enjoy. But if you can get past this minor annoyance, both the story and gameplay are excellent.
This isn't always well explained in game, and might require using a guide or backtracking through old quests if it's your first time playing. One small gripe I have about this game is that progression requires recruiting a large number of characters as well as unlocking and finishing some specific quests. The game can be a little bit grindy, but for people who dislike grind, they've included an option which doubles your experience and money. Furthermore, the game allows you to reset skill points at any time outside of a quest, a feature that every RPG should have. Since the game has over 50 characters, there is a lot of variety and customization when it comes to building a party.Īdding to the depth, the player also has complete control over which skills each character can learn. You can't always just use the same 5 characters to completely clear a quest. Others do not, and instead might require you to consider which elements they are attacking you with. Some enemies have elemental weaknesses to exploit. Some quests require you to use certain characters or consider different strategies, skill setups or equipment to approach them. Enemies, quests and bosses are fairly varied. Success in a quest requires thoughtful management of each character's strength and weaknesses, which in my opinion is the hallmark of a good RPG.Īlicesoft did a good job balancing the overall battle system. are also all somewhat restricted throughout the game. Healing, protection, buffs, debuffs, etc. In fact, simply having a character "standby" takes up a skillslot, but can be invaluable for preserving your valuable attack options for harder enemies. This forces you to constantly think about every action you take, adding to the overall strategy of the game. For example, you might only be able to use the special "Rance Attack" once within a dungeon, but might have 8 uses of your normal attack. Once they run out of actions, they are basically dead weight. However, instead of limiting characters by a set number of times they can enter the fray, characters are limited by a set number of actions they can perform. Like in Rance VI, characters do have limits in terms of how often you can deploy them.
You can bring five characters to a single battle. guards, fighters, healers, etc.) and battles have a time limit. Like in Sengoku, characters are divided into different classes (e.g. The gameplay in this case is a turn based RPG which sort of resembles a combination of Rance VI and Sengoku, but with a few unique elements thrown in. Rance Quest Magnum is another great RPG with at least 100 hours worth of playtime.įor starters, this is a game where you come for the porn, but stay for the gameplay.
