The gameplay isn't bad, per se, but it's not really interesting either. It's best to treat it as a musou SRPG, and it does pretty well at delivering a musou experience if you go into it with that expectation. The story itself is pretty straightforward by the standards of the Rance series, but it's presented well and still has enough of the Alicesoft bite to keep you on your toes. Maybe not a standout entry in the series, but it's by no means a poorly-made game and should satisfy any fan.
