You hardly even find any other guy aside MC in ES.Īnd yeah, Sengoku Rance was about Sengoku Japan, Kichinkou Rance about. All heroes in ES are girls, so there is no relationship building with guys as in Rance. ES has more VN into it as it's linear while Rance had only some overall pointers for numbered turns, but 'unite all before great bad enemy comes' is the same for both games. In SR New Game+ you got things to significantly change game and you weren't able to see everything in one playthrough, ES doesn't have anything to replay for even if here is two endings.Īs MC here isn't Rance he has not the same one-track brain as Rance and relationships with girls will be more like in harem manga/anime. This game is linear - you can't attack anyone in any order - you can get choice between three countries, but story will move forward only after you win over all three, order will change only fight difficulty and rewards while in Rance you're free to fight any neighbor. But ES doesn't have strategy management like buildings, defenses, prosperity, etc. It has similiar gameplay in part of managing actions/events, same about troops and equipment, even battle systems are the same. It uses HP only when you visit dungeons or it's boss/hero fight.ĮS is cuter, linear and without Rance. SR also uses 'ARMS' aka number of soldiers under hero command.
