Now you're backpedalling and engaging in mental gymnastics to try to save face from being called out over your absolute brain dead take on the definition of 'indie'.

That aside, Sengoku Rance is the 7th game in the RANCE series. So calling it a Rance game is not the mislabel you believe it to be.

It's pretty clear you never played a single Rance game so let me educate you while also exposing you for your idiocy. The RANCE games are centered around RANCE(the games namesake) whose main character trait is his desire to fuck all beautiful girls. It's what drives his motivations and, in large part, drives the plot of the game. There are even in game mechanics that give you bonuses for fucking the girls in tandem with the H-scenes being plot and character relevant as they are either referred to or directly impact the course of the game for some choices(like raping the diviner girl). Without the patch, you are not playing Rance, you are playing some bastardized generic jrpg.

Stay in your lane, never speak about Rance again and stick to what you know best: all age yuribait garbage meant to pander towards mentally ill retards like (you).

I wouldn't put it past the Shadow Empress...
I really like how Hifumi always acts reserved and coy around you, but whenever there's a dialogue choice to be made, the option that is complimenting her looks, praising her idol photo shoots (which she totally doesn't like) or implying romantic interest always earns you the most points in her favor. Peak woman behavior.

>As an indie, the gameplay is top notch.
When compared within an indie sphere. Use a better AI model next time.

>Sengoku Rance is the 7th game in the RANCE series. So calling it a Rance game is not the mislabel you believe it to be.
I'm calling it a mislabel because, just as I said before, SR is the most popular Rance game by a margin, which was also the entry point to the series for the majority, or they might've just played it as a standalone and never touched another Rance game after.

Why was it Sengoku Rance that blew up, and not the other games with poorer gameplay? Why does everyone mention the gameplay when talking about SR?
It's ironic that you brought up IQ when you're trying to use backwards logic to support your argument.
Nobody cares about the rest of the series.

>Without the patch, you are not playing Rance, you are playing some bastardized generic jrpg
Well, that "bastardized generic jrpg" is more popular than the rest of the series. I'd call this the main point why you're arguing, but the truth is that you're still mindbroken to this date by Manosaba, Apothetroon. You just want to argue for the sake of arguing

You made a retarded, uneducated blanket statement with a manosaba picture attached to the post, so it's only natural to assume you are a fan of the game. Fans of that game have a well documented and observed history of not being too bright and/or being mentally unwell; It's called pattern recognition and something humans have been able to do since they first walked, but I'm sure you'll catch up in due time.

As for the rest of your points, the amount of disingenuous gaslighting, mental gymnastics and just plain ignorance doesn't warrant a further response. I already addressed all your points and systematically dismantled them while also proving you are a larper for everyone here to see. Call me 'apothetroon' or w/e other eceleb you see fit to try to bluster and cope. This is your final (you) from me.

Chrono Clock had a great common route... and then everything went downhill~ *Review~*

(Part 1/21)

Disclaimer: I just finished the common route, Makoto route, and the Michiru route. This review is made mainly for them and some other aspects of this game. A whole review for the whole game might happen in the future, so for now it will just be this small part of it.

The mindset
I started this game early last year. It was one of my first moege experiences. I played it for multiple months, finishing all of the common route and then I put it on hold and didn't touch it until a couple of days ago to finally finish reading it. When I stopped it back then, I didn't do that because it was bad, I just wasn't in the mood to play it at that time when most of the games I read were... let's say quite heavy? (I/O, Higurashi, and FLOWERS)
It is true that I barely have any experience with the pure type of moege, the ones that you can just turn your brain off and "enjoy", but I think the term 'moege' is quite vast and lots of games can be considered it.
I know that Key games are considered to be moege?.... With that, I think I have lots of experience with those types of games... The dating simulator moege on the other hand are just... kinda heavy for a man like me, but I want to give them a fair share of my time and see what they are truly about... Maybe this game will actually provide a girl that I will love romantically like the other moebuta?... Maybe...

Common route
I will talk a little bit about the common route first... It was truly great! It showed the quirks of each girl in such a good way, even the ones I didn't care about started to get my attention thanks to how they were dealt with. That is especially true for Makoto, Michiru and Kuro... I really wanted to read their routes!...

I'm going to keep using indie to describe lower production value games whether you liked it or not, Apothetroon
>Maybe because it was the only one translated for eight years?
It was translated when VNs were niche. The rest of the translated series have been out for a long enough time in the current popular era to catch up to SR if they were good

Rance 03 was around an 8.44 average 3 months ago, so it was still higher rated than sengoku. Kichikuou is more or less the same and it's higher rated on bangumi.

For the other girls?... Even though Misaki seemed like my type, the tsun-tsun special type that will tell you to kys but then will tell you to live for her 5 seconds later, quite an interesting bipolar girl, I liked that... But reading her route wasn't my first priority, I might have given her a chance later if the other routes were good for me.
DD... the funniest girl xD I always laughed at her "What", that quirk is just super funny!... Her other gimmicks are not bad, but I was afraid that being overused might kill her character for me... I mean appearing for a little bit in the common route and doing that is fine, but can I handle a whole route of just this?...
Miu... she got one of my favourite tropes in the medium. The so unlucky girl that an asteroid might legit just drop on her head for no reason... Add to that the being poor thingy and how cute she is?... I wouldn't mind starting her route... But to my knowledge? I need to first beat the other 4 routes first... so I guess I can't go for her yet?...
Before I go into the routes, let me specify something... the protagonist was really painful in how he uses his power. I know that he decided that he doesn't want to use it and wants to live without relying too much on it... but in the couple of times he did?... He was such an idiot, it was just painful for me as a reader with three-digit IQ to follow his logic and how he thought about that. Before anything, I am personally not that much older than him, it doesn't really take experience to use the "go back in time 5 minutes" power....

Makoto route
When I returned to this game, I saw that after like 2 minutes of reading, I started Makoto's route... my favourite girl!... (I think? It is really a hard choice between her and Kuro)

The Yakuza daughter who wants to live a normal school life without anyone knowing her true personality... Not a unique plot, but who doesn't like it? V-V I honestly enjoyed the gap in her personality a lot in the common route. I thought that if we got more of that in her route? It would just be super fun to read!..... What we got instead? That dumbass clock plot being introduced quite early in the route and ruining everything....

We didn't get any more of that gap or her trying to hide her truth, the clock now just made her show her true self without even bothering to hide anything... now that is not something bad on its own, but when you consider how her character in the common route felt like this whole matter was an actual problem to herself? I can't look at this plot without thinking that this is the way the writer picked to deal with it... and what a shitty way it was.

At this point, I started to feel like all the girls will somehow end up with some type of power... we already saw that for all of them, except Misaki (which later on, I think I got a hint in Michiru's route that she also got some type of power we don't know about).\

The power Makoto got with the clock was... interesting?... On paper? it is... but how was it used?... Transforming a little bit to do some pranks on the protagonist, going through the city at night and becoming a superhero, and then using it in a fit of jealousy... let's break all of those down.

The pranks were nice... but that whole teleporting thing and her leaving all of her clothes each time is just so fucking brain-dead. It just felt like it was added there to make the route more erotic and it doesn't make any sense. Yes, I know that the clock is making her more "daring" but with that logic, just make her shit and piss on the streets while she is at it if it is a matter of acting on impulses or something.... I don't know, it was just stupid!...

I remember the protagonist thinking about using his power just to keep looking at her naked... without exaggerating? I was thinking about dropping the whole game if he did it... I appreciated him having some human decency in that scene and not doing it... but her allowing him to go that far is what disgusted me.

Him and Makoto's relationship development in this route felt really weird and fast-paced, even when considering the context... as a reader? I just couldn't see how she fell for him from their small amount of interactions... like, the route just started, when did she discover that she liked him... why did she like him?... All of those things didn't get answered and were left for our own imagination... while we were reading her route!...

Her becoming a hero... now that is an interesting plot!... How was it dealt with?... We barely see anything about it.... I mean, this route tried to both force a plot-heavy scenario while also giving the biggest share of its time to the moege aspect... the result? Just weird pacing for everything.... like, I didn't see enough at all of her night activities, the route barely showed us any of it, it skipped over most of it and told us what was happening in such a fast way it felt like I was reading a TLDR...

Now for the last part, and the one that annoyed me the most.... At some point, when she realized that she indeed loves the protagonist and felt jealous when other girls talk to him, she used her clock powers to turn into another girl and do something bad and put the blame on her, just because she seemed friendly with the protagonist... again, an interesting plot. To see Makoto, a girl who was confirmed to be one of, if not the strongest human on earth, who now also got magical powers... for her to turn into a yandere?... That could create lots of interesting plots!

So many ideas you can fit into this route!... What we got in the end?... Just that one act and then a TLDR section about what happened after that and then the ending of the route just hits us....... Ha?... You introduce the most interesting aspect of that route right at the end and just end the game right after it in a little bit?..... But why?.... Why this terrible pacing in the routes when the common route was so fine?.... Why introduce so many things in her route just to end up not delivering on all of them?.... What a bitter taste this left in my mouth!...

I just felt really bad that I couldn't see more of her... I truly loved Makoto, cute looking, with a voice actress I never heard before and barely worked on any VNs... and just tons and tons of potential to go very far... all thrown away by trying to fit as much as possible into her route when the game routes are all short and will get very hurt from just throwing every plot and praying some of it will stick and make the reader like it...

But even with all of that being said, her route wasn't bad for me. Being all over the place with that pacing and all the plots it introduced, it was engaging and attention-grabbing. Something very rare for moege. Add to that how solid the game looks, and all the little details here and there... it was an acceptable - fine route.

Before I leave her route, I talked about how the protagonist doesn't utilize his powers like a normal human being, this route got 2 good examples of that:-

When Michiru challenged Makoto to a duel... why couldn't he ask her to make some type of rule so that she doesn't use her powers?..... He knows the whole situation and how Michiru not being able to smell her when she changes her appearance would be a killing blow to her. Why not tell Makoto in secret to have this rule?... Like I knew he would use the clock to go back in time and fix this whole situation, but couldn't him telling her that since the beginning have been productive to how he can instead use the clock if Michiru somehow still lost?... Which btw, seeing how truly strong Makoto is, she would have still won that match. But at least I would've seen the protagonist utilizing his power instead of just... wasting everyone's time?...

The other example is when Makoto broke the window while pretending to be someone else ..... So everyone in the whole class/school cared, and he didn't even though he is thinking about Makoto the whole time and he doesn't see her in class and couldn't contact her?........ Imagine if he cared since the beginning, and then just used his powers to see that happen at the start and try to stop it..... But what we got instead is some BS that led up to her not getting punished for it at all, and somehow Misaki not getting in any trouble even though she is the only suspect and the whole school got no other suspect... you know what? This whole plot was thrown out of the window (no pun intended) as if it never happened or no one got bothered by it when in Japan, something like that is quite big.... guess I'm teaching the Japanese writer about their own culture now?...... Unless he expected the moebuta to just eat it up without uttering a word about how stupid this whole plot is?....

Just in general, he could have fixed lots of things if he only... explained the whole thing to her and how he also got some powers in his watch and how the watch is affecting her... he could have even lied to her and made Kuro tell her that the watch is going to kill her... lots of things could have been done to convince her about leaving it... funny enough? This is how he convinced her in the end!! With a lie that was covered as a romantic miracle... but in truth?... It was still a lie, something he could have done ages ago to just deal with this whole situation way better...
He loved her and cared about her so much, why couldn't he trust her with the truth of his watch when she herself trusted him so much that he was the only person who knew about her secret?.... It is not like he can't tell anyone about the watch, there was no rule about this. I understand why he couldn't tell most people around him, but Makoto?... The situation was really calling for that and he never did that until the last second when it was already too late....

Michiru route

As for Michiru... the imouto that is obsessed with her Nii-sama and would not miss a chance to make a comment about wishing to molest him... in the common route, those bits of her were actually soulful and funny to read. Add to that the fact she is blind... I personally adore handicapped girls, not because I got some type of saviour syndrome, but because I just find them very cute and unique T-T
Michiru had very high stakes in my heart and had the full potential to be the best girl now that Makoto's route wasn't really what I wished for, it was her time to shine... or that is at least what I wished for.
