Sengoku Rance is an amazing game. I wasn't expecting much going into this eroge but it ended up being one of the most fun SRPGs I've had the joy of playing. Managing your conquest of Japan and building your military is unbelievably fun and no two runs will be the exact same. There are a ton of decisions to make on the fly and the game's multiple routes and NG+ make replaying it a joy. The ero scenes even tie into an important mechanic for how you proceed on your conquest! The combat has a surprising amount of depth too, so battles are never a slog given the importance of choosing units and tactics in the middle of battle. Furthermore, the plot is shockingly good. I wasn't expecting an eroge filled with black humour to get me to care deeply about the characters and storyline, yet Alicesoft managed to do so. Having played some of their other games like Evenicle this is a consistent quality the developer has. Even the soundtrack is excellent; I'm dumbfounded that Shade went this hard for an eroge OST! Sengoku Rance is a 10/10 and I'm happy to see it on GOG. I've already played the game's Mangagamer release off their site but I'll be purchasing this when I can.
