Brutal warrior Rance's mind is filled to the brim with thoughts of fucking girls. And wherever he goes, screams of beautiful women resound.
He's been traveling around randomly with the mage girl he recently bought, Sill, but now he has a different purpose in mind. His target this time... Or rather, his destination, is the Kingdom of Leazas, which is known to be the most wealthy nation in the world. The daughter of a noble family, Hikari, who attended Paris Academy there, has gone missing, and he's taken up a quest to find her.
Rance sets off to enjoy the beauties of Leazas! ...And while he's there, he'll find Hikari and enjoy her too, of course.
[From JAST USA]
This is a remake of the original Rance title which came out 24 years prior. It uses an old-style chip-based battle system and has new artwork and music. The script has also been heavily modified.
