Very solid game all around, with the 2023 patch by TADA (found in the alicesoft english wiki) it's a pretty fun and balanced game, with the best plot so far and Sill having more of a main role compared to previous entries. Rance is still fun as hell and the translation for this game in particular is pretty amazing. The party members are wack though like Julia is complete garbage even if you get her to train and Merim just does absolutely nothing. Play it with a walkthrough as per usual with Rance games.

Great revenge story with an amazing soundtrack (made by the same studio that made Saya no Uta's), the extensive descriptions of swordmanship in the middle of fights and the actions and attitude of the Protagonist can be very divisive. Also this is an eroge technically so it has h-scenes (one very early on). Just keep in mind that this is a dark tale that has no problem showing bad characters doing very bad things. But all in all a nice 7 hour-ish experience that entertains all the way through with a great depiction of obssesion and truly living for and by the blade.
