any /vst/ games similar to sengoku rance? I dont even care if it has porn or not this is fun
>>1799222Any strategy game set in that era, I guess?KOEI's Nobunaga's Ambition series, Sengoku Jidai, Paradox's Sengoku, Total War: Shogun 1 & 2 etc on the top of my head.
>>1799222Eiyu Senki on steam is literally a Sengoku Rance clone. It's very good. There's even a patch you can get outside of steam that restores nudity to the steam version.
>>1799291None of those games are like Sengoku Rance. They are set in Japan, that's it. Gameplay is totally different.
>>1799298>paid patchwhy
>>1799302I'm sure you can find it for free easily enough. I was enough of a coomer to pay though.
>>1799303is gold a new game or the same game + new stuff?
>>1799305Huh, never knew that existed. From what I can find, it's a sequel. Same characters but new story and with a bunch of improvements. So seems kind of like a 1.5 reboot.
>>1799307mite get both for my 'eck, I hope the patch works on that
>>1799308Yeah I'm gonna buy Gold since it's 50% off. The first one was great, so I imagine it will be as well.
>>1799222Touhou Sengoku. It's even translated. No porn though and I think battles are less complex
>>1799320>Touhou Sengokuof course the touhou people did a rance game
>>1799320>No porn thoughHonestly not even a problem. Easily the weakest part of Rance games strangely. It's all very vanilla and not really well drawn for today's standards. I always find myself skipping the scenes to get back to the gameplay or story.
>>1799222Isnt there a massive fan mod for Sengoku Rance, even endorsed by the creators themselves?
>>1799338I'm listening.
The Disciples game series.
>>1799343disciples is closer to homm tho
>>1799222Did you play other alicesoft strategies?Daibanchou is fully translatedDaiteikoku partially and daiakuji will never be translated (use on screen translation)There is obviously kichikuou rance too>>1799298It's shitty game imoBith gameplay and story(coomerbait for coomerbait purposes) is too simple in both versions of it
>>1799338Found it, need to know nip sadly.https://hannylaboratory.blogspot.com/2022/12/blog-post_15.html
>>1799348>It's shitty game imoIs it? I remember the story being weaker than Rance, which is understandable. But the gameplay was solid. Didn't have the branching paths like Rance I don't think, but the foundations were there.
>>1799353>But the gameplay was solid. It's fun early on(battles and skills are okay)But you just hire more and more heroes(which are all female) and pass turns until you upgrade them so you can beat enemies (if you are somehow got stuck that is)You can take as many turns as you like and it removes importance of acting fastNobody will surprise attack you, if you didn't start war it will never startIt's just game that took sengoku rance and made it worseStill fun to try i suppose
>>1799348hows daibanchou
>>1799357It's funYou don't have armies per say but characters you hire act as them(fight battles for territory, collect taxes) you can train and lvl them but you need to watch your funds so you don't go bankrupt(also they die in battle permanently if they lose all their hp)Story has multiple branches, events depending on what you conquer firstFinal battle is great tooNew game+ with character clears(use wiki for those doe) giving them bonuses to stats
>>1799222Kamidori Alchemy Meister might be close. More of a tactical JRPG. But it's an H-strategy game with some cool characters and fun story.
>>1799222kichikuou rance, dai series, this >>1799320, and if you don't mind tentacle porn there is also the venus blood series
>>1799348I really should learn JP so I can finally play Daiakuji, wonder how it compares to the other Dai games. Loved Daiteikoku and Daibanchou, still replay them every year.
>>1799411>DaiakujiGameplay is pretty much daibanchou but only on district stage map(with more locations)There is a mini game for finding and selling girls into sexual slavery which gives a lot of moneyIt's missing a few qol improvements like getting additional stamina if you and enemies run out of it but nothing crucial Story is decentImo if you're lazy slob and didn't start learning runes after all those years then you definitely won't start learning them laterJust use onscreen translation it's decent enough (nobody will ever bother translating this game due to technical issues with text if that's what you've hoped for)
>>1799404can kichikou run on modern systems
>>1799561anon you can even play it on the ps vita and android phones, yes it can run on a modern pc
>>1799305Gold is an entirely new story with new characters and scenes. Simplest way to explain it would be normal is the normal end and gold is the good end. Or normal is the blind run and gold is ng+.

>>1799222One of the things I found so satisfying with Sengoku was finding that perfect like first 10 or so turns that set you up for the rest of the game. It's a very enjoyable game to optimise your playthrough in.
Is it possible to beat the game without relying on save-scumming or is the game just built into doing that strat?
>>1799860Yeah, but your first run is almost always a failure or very poor. It's sort of built that way. You're encouraged to play through the game multiple times and get permanent bonuses that help you each time along with the knowledge of what to do. There's like 3 or 4 different branching paths to take that focus on different women as the main love interest and a sort of free play mode where you just fucking kill the monkey so it can't break the jar. It leaves you to conquer Japan without all the demon storyline stuff.
>>1799860It's very possible. The game has multiple failsafes in place on your first playthrough and it's on the easiest difficulty with weakened/missing enemy mechanics. It's very hard to game over from anything but getting Rance killed in battle on your first game unless you go full retard and declare war on everyone at the same time.Second game on at 1 * or higher it's a lot more unforgiving and you're expected to either optimize or savescum more the higher in difficulty you get.
>>1799222EraTohoK is somewhat similar but weaker.>>1799338>>1799351There also is http://www.darknessherorance.com/homepage.html which was made by westerners,dunno how good it is. Seems to be Sengoku but on Kichikuou map and the whole cast.
>>1799860Given that I managed to trigger an event near the end of my first playthrough that conquered every demon territory for me I would say that its very forgiving on your first run
>>1800023>trigger an eventThat's the handicap that triggers when you take too long. It means you did bad.
>>1799860You only need save-scumming when doing 100% optimal runs where you refuse to lose a single time.
>>1800026> It means you did bad.I could feel the disdain from the Japanese developers when the popup came upDishonourbu dispray
>>1799222Birthright: The Gorgon's Alliance Kingdom management, battles, dungeons, it has it all. Also, everything runs on actual AD&D rules.My only issue is that there's very few casters in the setting.
>>1799348Does anybody know on what happened to the Daiteikoku translation? From what I remember the unofficial one stopped due to rumors of an official translation, but that didn't seemed to go anywhere.
>>1800748Maybe after the remaining Rance games have been translated, nothing has been announced thoughThe game having Hitler-chan probably doesn't help
>>1800748>but that didn't seemed to go anywhereJast usa recently picked it upI guess it's at least a year or few before it gets translated doehttps://vndb.org/r124973
>>1800930Retia is funnily enough one of the things I would consider the least offensive.The game goes really hard on historical facts about certain countries such as the president being a figurehead controlled by a shadowy cabal of oligarchs that goes against the propaganda by said country.
>>1800930Sure lmaoHere's a pic from Jast usa official account in twitter announcing translation"In a few years"
>>1799320In Sengoku Gensyouko map is kinda the weakest part.
>>1801460Focusing the otaku market mainly on Japan and the United States was a good idea.
>>1799222where can I actually get this game?
>>1806602The Internet
>>1806602nyaa.si
>>1806602If you want to actually buy it, mangagamer sells it, along with other rance games.
EraTohoK. It's fun and it's a porn game.
