This has the most basic combat I've seen in ages and thanks to the SP system requiring energy to to anything they still mess it up. Combat slows to a crawl because you're constantly resting before attacking and your partner is useless unless her name is Maria because shooting the gun costed like no energy and did more damage than Rance would ever do. She's also the best girl but I miss the poker chip combat system and card aesthetic from Rance 01 even if this dungeon navigation is better.

Oh, Rance has mandatory sex about 10.5 times, with 4.5 of those times being rape and an additional one of them being kind of rape but Rance not being the rapist in that scenario. There's more consent here and the rape Rance does is conveniently set up by the plot to be a good thing actually. The first time he didn't even know it was a good thing actually, he just raped and it happened to be a good thing. So sex wise it....learned from Rance 01? There's a lot more H here in general by the way, so if that's why you're playing these games, good news! Shame you gotta get through the gameplay for it, real slog that is.
