Alice Soft — Translated Titles


Kosakyun

Recommended Posts

INTRODUCTION

Hi there! This was originally a thread titled "Alicesoft Titles - Translation Updates" that I made back in 2014. I initially dedicated this thread to monitoring the progress of well-known Alice Soft fan translation projects (FanTL) that were proliferating during the time. Fast forward almost 10 years later in 2023—the visual novel scene is more alive than it's ever been in international spaces with most titles being easily accessible in mainstream storefronts like Steam. A lot of titles have been picked up by numerous publishing companies, both old and new, and games previously thought to be in JP-only jail are now just one purchase away to read in English. Some even have multiple language options on release!

Alice Soft is one of many eroge companies that have decided to seek opportunities for sales in today's Western market. With around 40 years of experience being in the eroge market, it's no understatement to say that the company is one of the bigger names in the industry today. Their series that have long been loved by their Japanese audience are now being made available to a bigger international market that will experience their stories and fall in love with them as well. And hopefully, the number of these series will only continue to increase as the years pass by.

To sort of pay homage to this expansion, I thought it'd be better to turn this FanTL dedicated thread into one that neatly organizes both official and FanTL releases for Fuwanovel's users. May people someday stumble upon this thread and find their next game to obsess about in the numerous Alice Soft titles that are now available in English.

Rance 5D -The Lonely Girl- (2002) and Rance VI -Collapse of Zeth- (2004)
Publisher: MangaGamer (2016)
Links (NSFW): MG | JAST | GOG | Fakku | Kagura

Spoiler

Synopsis (MangaGamer):

Rance 5D

Rance goes adventuring with his slave girl, Sill, and his pet, Athena 2.0, in order to recoup all the money he’s blown! Their travels lead them down a dungeon where they get lost and wander into a mysterious town full of youkai!

There’s loads of gameplay with battles and movement determined by dice rolls, while strategic management of time, skills, and item drops can help affect your odds—no two playthroughs will be the same!

Rance VI

Some time later, Rance has once again spent all his money and taken a job in the magical Kingdom of Zeth with Sill. In Zeth, however, mages are considered superior and non-mages are treated as 2nd class citizens, sparking events that lead to Rance’s confinement.

And so, under the pretense of liberating the public, Rance’s adventure full of punishing evil mages, making a harem from his female allies, and having tons of sex begins…

Unofficial Patches:
Fan Patch - RottenBlock (2019)
Rance VI ver. 2.05 + Fan Patch - RottenBlock (2023)

Note: Rance 5D and VI are sold together as a bundle, so you essentially get two games for the price of one. Rance 5D is in its unaltered 640x480 version while Rance VI is a remastered 1280x960.

Note 2: The Fan Patch fixes some issues with the MangaGamer release and adds cut content from the original Japanese release. RottenBlock further builds upon this by including changes made by TADA in his 2023 v2.05 patch of Rance VI. Since v2.05 is based on v1.03 of the original release, RottenBlock worked on making it compatible with the official MangaGamer release which was based on v1.05.

Spoiler

Synopsis (MangaGamer):

In the far east nation of Nippon, a plethora of feudal lords are fighting for supremacy in the 4th Sengoku Era. After doing immeasurable damage on the Continent, the brute known as Rance traveled with his slave, Sill, to the island country.

For a hot spring vacation, you ask?

Wrong. While they’ll go to some hot springs, Rance’s goal is to bang all of Nippon’s beautiful princesses, samurai, miko, ninjas, village girls, and more. In particular, he wants Kouhime of the prominent Oda clan.

When Rance becomes the ruler of one of the feudal states, he charges headfirst toward uniting Nippon!

Unofficial Patches:
Classic Names Patch: Uncredited
Unofficial Expansion Patch: Uncredited

Note: The patches are proof of Sengoku Rance’s long history in the community. The Classic Names patch restores names changed in the localized version to those in the fan TL by TakaJun under Yandere Translations in 2009 (ex. Nippon -> JAPAN). The Unofficial Expansion patch is purely for the Sengoku Rance gameplay enjoyers, introducing balance changes, new characters, skills, events, items, etc. Only use it after playing through the game at least once.

Publisher: Mangagamer (2020)
Links (NSFW): MGJAST | GOG | Fakku | Kagura

Spoiler

Synopsis (MangaGamer):

Rance 01

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.

Rance 02

The peerless warrior Rance is a great fighter, a quick thinker, and possessed of powerful luck. These qualities alone would mark him as a hero to go down in history, but unfortunately, he has no interest in housing his talents for such things as world peace or justice, and acts only to fulfill his own desires.

Now, the town of Custom is in danger, and the one who’s accepted a quest at the guild to help them is none other than Rance (and his helper Sill).

Now that Rance is on the job, Custom is saved!
…Or is it?

Unofficial Patches:
Rance 02/Rance 02 Kai Fan Patch - RottenBlock (2021)

Note: This is a bundle including both games, similar to 5D + VI. Both games are remakes of their respective titles from 1989 (Rance I) and 1990 (Rance II). The bundle also includes Rance 02 Kai, the alternate version with rewritten script and gameplay changes, as a separate build. RottenBlock’s fan patch fixes some leftover errors and bugs from the original game that the official release missed.

“Sill? Gahahaha! She can wait!”

Just like always(?), Rance beds down with as many women as he can. But when he visits the Kalar Village with nefarious intent, he’s struck with a curse that keeps him from having sex!

With his hyper weapon disarmed, what will become of Rance’s life?
He can still fuck strong girls, though!

Rance and his party of cute girls set off to find mighty maidens and treasures galore!

Unofficial Patches:
Classic Names Patch (2021)

Note: The MangaGamer release incorporates both the Magnum expansion (2012) and TADA’s ver3.86 update (2019). The Magnum expansion contained major balance and mechanics changes and a ton of new content for the base game. TADA’s v3.86 update introduced a redone game balance and a 2x experience mode.

Note 2: The Classic Names patch serves the same purpose it did in the official Sengoku Rance release.

Publisher: MangaGamer (2023)

Links (NSFW): MG

Spoiler

Synopsis (MangaGamer):

The oldest nation to still exist on the Continent is the militant Helmanian Empire.

A country with a long history, and once the most powerful nation in the world, Helman has experienced years of decay under a corrupt regime. A civil war, an invasion by a neighboring power, or perhaps both could happen at any moment.

Amidst fears of such turmoil by no small portion of the population, a man who was once exiled from Helman rises to action. 

Years prior, Prince Patton Misnarge fought to prove his worth by invading another country, but failed and disappeared from the public eye. Swearing to take his country back, Patton trained and returned a strong and admirable man.

He sought to make use of the peerless champion he met on his journeys to fight to revolutionize Helman. Yes, the key to his plan was to get the assistance of the strongest and most brutal warrior: Rance.

Synopsis (MangaGamer):

When Mother Eve created the world, she gave humans two rules to follow.
One: Any given person may only ever have one sexual partner, and
Two: Killing another human being is forbidden.

All philanderers and murderers lose Mother Eve’s blessing, and such sinners are branded as Outlaws and shunned. The strongest people may be permitted to become Knights, and are allowed to marry multiple partners, so as to better pass down their superior genes.

Asterisk, our hero, wants to marry his two beautiful twin sisters.
His solution to this quandary?
“I’ll become a Knight and have lots of wives!”

Thus, one young man sets off on an adventure!

The Anti-Aso struggle, the suits plot their removal, and all the while the impending Founder's Birthday Ceremony accelerates tensions everywhere.

But to properly command magic, a man needs a profound knowledge about carnal matters.

Will Shion be able to save Rui from a terrible fate, or will he let her become the village’s plaything?

“I want to be pampered by a sexy, mature woman!”
“I want to see a multitude of men defile a sexy, mature woman!”
This game was developed to fulfill these desires.

Note: This game is available in English in three separate parts. The prologue is basically a free demo, but the other two are separate purchases. Basically pick the game that fits your taste! Or both, why not?

Present day.

Oudou Tsuguhiko, the reincarnation of the Demon King, is an aspiring eroge writer. He lives his life as a human student, all while awaiting the day he can reawaken to his full potential and take over the world. However, when that day finally arrives, he is attacked by Ixseal, a Valkyrie tasked with the mission of claiming the Demon King’s life. Although he manages to escape, he is betrayed by his loyal subordinate, the demon Bezel, who steals all of Tsuguhiko’s dark powers... apart from the power of Lust. 

With the demons’ plot having left Ixseal stranded on Earth, she joins forces with her former adversary Tsuguhiko in order to fight against Bezel’s demonic army, the Wargrim. To gain enough strength to defeat these powerful demons, Tsuguhiko must use his power of Lust to give Ixseal energy via "dark guidance" (i.e. engaging in sexual activities with her). Will the Demon King and Valkyrie duo seize victory as they learn to fight and live together? Or will they instead meet a most sticky end?

Rance X - Showdown (2018)
Publisher: MangaGamer (TBA)
Links (NSFW): Official Website

Spoiler

Synopsis (MangaGamer):

Humans and monsters shared the Continent in a delicate balance for over a thousand years, but it all came crashing down.

The most powerful fiend, Kayblis, seized power over the Monster Realm and led a colossal army on an invasion of the Human Realm. Unable to stop quarreling amongst themselves, the human nations were trampled.

Two weeks after the war began, the death toll for humanity reached approximately 12,000,000.

Yet mankind still couldn't unite, and the turmoil between the world's leaders continued. Just as the demise of humanity, the worst case scenario, weighed heavy on everyone's minds...

"Everyone should just work for me. I'll crush that Monster Army no problem."

It was Rance, back from an adventure with his companion, Sill.

There was an uproar among the world leaders:

The Kingdom of Leazas's Queen, Lia Parapara Leazas.
The Kingdom of Zeth's Viceroy, Magic the Gandhi.
The Republic of Helman's President, Sheila Helman.
The Free City Alliance's Representative, Copandon Dot.
The eastern island of Nippon's Lord, Kou Oda.
The world's largest religion, Alicism's Pope, Crook Mofus.

...And they were also Rance's women, so they all agreed. Rance became humanity's supreme leader, and their final hope.

Over 6000 years a minuscule creature called Kayblis fought and slaughtered his way to the very top of the Monster Realm. A conceited man named Rance whoÅ@declares all woman to be his lived a carefree life and found his way to the top of the Human Realm. Both men put the survival of their entire race on the line in an inescapable struggle to the death.

Note: This game is annoying to play without a walkthrough because of its manual verb input system. If you want to play it like intended, feel free to do so! In no way is the walkthrough required. For those who want to save time, the Alicesoft wiki has a guide on the Little Princess page.

Rebuilt: RottenBlock (2018)
Rebuilt PC-88 Style: RottenBlock (2021)
PC-98 Port: Alpharobo and BabaJeanmel (2023)

Spoiler

Synopsis (VNDB):

The story is pretty simple - Hikari ("Light"), the red haired girl that you see in an opening clip, has been kidnapped. And Rance gets the mission from his boss (the bald guy) to investigate the case.

Rance is something like a detective in this story. This also turns the whole game more into a detective-like exploring than into rpg or more less rpg/strategy to which the gamers of the latter games of the series are used to. Rance isn’t alone in his job as he has a helper - 16 year old Sill. She's actually Rance's slave. She was from a rich family but later got kidnapped by some bandit and then auctioned as a slave. The one who bought her was of course Rance.

Now with her help you (Rance) have to solve this mystery, bring Hikari back and pay back the ones at fault.

Note: It has a Digest version available if you don’t want to play through the clunky old school mechanics of the first two games. Rebuilt is a polished version of the original 2014 TL project, and the PC-98 version is a port of the PC-98 assets along with the differences between versions.

Spoiler

Synopsis (VNDB):

Ten years ago in the town of Custom, four young girls were appointed as disciples to old mage Ragithis. They were to be raised as mages and then to work as town's guardians. But after ten years of training due to unknown reasons girls rebelled against Ragithis and killed him. During the harsh magic battle a whole town was entombed in the underground and a barrier spell was put on town preventing everyone from going out.

This is when Rance appears with Sill on his side and takes a job of defeating magician maidens and saving the town. The girls are now sheltered in the labyrinth beneath the town abducting young girls from the town and killing everyone who tried to go into the labyrinth to stop them. It seems that the only way to release them from the curse of the rings is to steal their virginity from them, and the only man up to this job is Rance.

Note: It was originally only available for the 02 remake, but velt221 ported it to the System 3.5 remake so you can play with the graphics of the original using Rance Translation Project’s script. It also has a Digest version.

Custom, a swordsman from a small village, is on a journey when he comes across a carriage being attacked. He defeats the attackers, rescuing the lovely maiden Kumiko. Kumiko was on her way to Toushin Toshi (Combat God City) to search for her father. She suspects her father is in the Combat God Mansion, residence of the annual combat tournament's champion. In order to get in, she needs to partner up with someone who can win the tournament that year, and Custom agrees that she can be his partner. They head to Combat God City to enter the tournament.

Although victory in each round of the tournament earns one gold, special medicine, and other wonderful prizes, perhaps the most interesting prize is the opponent's partner. Each participant is required to have a beautiful female partner, and if the participant loses in combat, the victor gets his or her partner to do with as he/she pleases for one night. Female warriors in the tournament can choose to act as their own partner, as do the ninja Yayoi and swordswoman Morris.

This monster-filled underground maze is located on the outskirts of Combat God City. One of the requirements to participate in the tournament is the retrieval of a Hero Crest from here. While the Hero Crests are on the first level of the labyrinth, there are several more floors and surprises waiting deeper inside.

Note: The Fan Patch applies the official Japanese patch to the English version distributed by Arunaru in their 2013 translation of the game and fixes other problems as well.

Rance III -Fall of Leazas- (1991)
TL: 2.0 Translations (2012)

Spoiler

Synopsis (VNDB):

For centuries, the nations of Leazas and Helman have had a fierce rivalry, clashing time and time again with no clear victor ever in sight. In the year LP0002, Patton Helman, prince of the Helman Republic, sought to end this eternal conflict once and for all and conquer Leazas in a reckless bid to win his father's approval.

Allying himself with the enigmatic Dark Lord Noce, Patton succeeds in overrunning the Leazas capital city in a single night with the forces of the Helman 3rd Army and a large swarm of monsters, placing the prosperous nation under enemy occupation. His ego swelled by his early victory, Patton orders his troops to begin entering the neighboring territories of the Free Cities Alliance, planning to make his achievement even greater in the process.   

Unbeknownst to Patton, Noce possesses an agenda of his own that goes far beyond mere conquest. Deep within the lowest recesses of Leazas Castle, a terrifying power lies dormant. Sealed by the legendary Dark Sword Chaos, Noce intends to unleash this power onto the world, plunging it into an age of unimaginable despair and torment.

Anticipating the intentions of her captors, Princess Lia Parapara Leazas orders her personal ninja Kentou Kanami to flee from Leazas with the royal family's treasured Holy Shield, one of the three items needed to gain entry into the chamber where Chaos resides, and seek out the man that she entrusted with the other two. The fate of her country and the entire Continent hanging in the balance, Lia places all of her faith into this man.   

An outrageous man in possession of abilities that go far beyond all others.   

A conceited man who thinks only of himself at all times.   

A carefree man who always charges blindly forward without ever considering the consequences of his actions.   

The man called Rance.   

Thus, the curtain rises on this man's greatest adventure yet.

Synopsis (VNDB):

The game follows right where it left off. After Rance's battle with the former Demon King Gele, he was trapped along with Sill in an alternate dimension with no means to escape before being transported by the God of Light GOD and taken to an unknown location that they've never seen before.

Rance being literally naked, and with his level mischievously dropped to 1 by the God of Light, they find themselves in an unknown land that isn't in The Continent they've always lived. They come across a small town nearby and it doesn't take them too long to find out that they are actually on the floating island above Leazas, Ylapu. Stuck in the floating landmass with no means to get out, they are forced to investigate in order to find a way to return to the main continent.

Meanwhile, the Queen of Leazas sends a platoon called the Rance Rescue Team to the unknown land in order to help Rance. However, Leazas is not the only country visiting the floating land, as they will also come across Helman agents and they will be forced to fight to stop the awakening of an ancient super weapon from hundreds of years in the past. The Legacy of the Sect.

Synopsis (VNDB):

You've been in love with your old childhood friend Hazuki ever since you can remember. You've become a couple and all seems perfect...except that she is the daughter of the person you've been studying swordsmanship under. And the fact that you have been stuck at Level 4 for the longest time makes winning her hand a bit out of your reach...

Then comes the Toushin tournament. A fighting tourney that happens every year, the best of fighters enter to win the coveted Toushin title (Toushin literally means God of Battle). Each contestant must come in with a female partner and if the contestant loses the battle, their partner becomes the property of the winner for the rest of the day, free to do whatever he or she wishes to do to them.

Hazuki, after getting the promise from her father to allow her marriage to you if she goes as the partner of the strongest warrior of all his pupils, she heads out to the Tournament...but she in fact agreed to a promise waiting to the broken. Hazuki's father, determined to have a strong warrior carry on the dojo, wants only the winner of the tournament to marry her daughter...leaving you with only one option: To win the tournament.

As you fight, a number of mysteries arise. What is the reason the Toushin Tournament is held every year? Why did a person tell you to not win the tournament? Why is it that none of the previous winners ever leave the city?

Note: The Fan Patch by RottenBlock fixes a save file bug that limits you to only three saves.

Rance 4.1 -Save the Medicine Plant!- (1995)
TL: 2.0 Translations (2014)
16-bit | Linux VM
32-bit Port: RottenBlock (2020)

Spoiler

Synopsis (VNDB):

This is a side-story in the Rance series, released shortly after the fourth game, but dedicated to an entirely different quest. All kinds of troubles are happening to a factory where a new Happiness Medicine is being developed. The mercenary Rance is hired by the manager to investigate the source of these troubles. First task: clear the factory of the monsters...

This is a RPG with turn-based combat and strong adventure elements (menu with command verbs such as "Examine", "Talk", etc., at every given screen). Unlike the previous Rance games, the battles do not allow free movement on the screen, and are carried out in a more traditional Japanese-style way. There is no physical movement in the game; hostile areas (dungeons) are also explored by choosing menu commands. As in all other Rance games, there are explicit sex scenes in this game.

Note: The 2.0 Translations release used the original 16-bit version of the game, so 64-bit systems (Windows 8+) could only run the game with a virtual machine. RottenBlock’s 32-bit version solves this issue and makes the game playable on modern computers.

Synopsis (VNDB):

Rance 4.2: Angel-gumi is the second part of the story that began in Rance 4.1: O-Kusuri Koujou o Sukue! rather than an all-new Rance adventure. The hero continues to investigate the weird occurrences connected to the Happiness Medicine Factory. Since the story picks up directly where it ended in the prequel, Rance begins his adventure going against the Angel Army.

Nothing has changed gameplay-wise; as before, interaction with the game world is done through menu commands everywhere, including dungeons. The combat system has also remained exactly the same as in the predecessor.

Note: The 2.0 Translations release used the original 16-bit version of the game, so 64-bit systems (Windows 8+) could only run the game with a virtual machine. RottenBlock’s 32-bit version solves this issue and makes the game playable on modern computers.

Kichikuou Rance (1996)
TL: Arunaru (2014)

Spoiler

Synopsis (VNDB):

The game begins at the start of LP0003. The warrior Rance, accompanied as always by his faithful slave Sill Plain, has been living as the leader of a group of bandits in northern Helman after killing their previous leader as part of a job given to him by the Keith Guild. While Rance greatly enjoys the raping and pillaging that comes with being a bandit leader, the guilt-ridden Sill believes that he is in danger of losing what remains of his conscience and genuinely becoming a villain.

After attacking the city of Golak, Rance's group alerts the attention of Ruberan Tser, commander of the Helman volunteer army, who launches a counterstrike on them during their second attempt at pillaging the city. Unable to fight against a genuine army, the bandits are quickly destroyed, Sill is captured by the Helman Army and Rance is forced to flee for his life.

Rance evades the Helman army for several days, with both his equipment and health steadily declining all the while, before he finally passes out from fatigue along the Leazas/Helman border. He is found on the verge of death by Kentou Kanami, the personal ninja of Leazas' queen and Rance's longtime admirer Lia Parapara Leazas, who brings him to Leazas castle. After three days of recovery, Rance finally regains consciousness and, completely humiliated by his defeat at Helman's hands and desperate to rescue Sill, demands that Lia give him the Leazas Army to destroy the enemy nation. Finally seeing an opportunity to have Rance to herself, Lia agrees on the condition that he first marry her, which Rance reluctantly accepts.

As the new king of Leazas, Rance sets his first steps on a path that will lead to either world domination or death.

Note (VNDB): This game is not considered part of the official Rance universe timeline, forking off after the events of Rance 4.2, as a "What if" episode. However, many characters and ideas featured in later Rance games originated in Kichikuou Rance.

Synopsis (VNDB):

You (Nanasu) are the prince of Mamatoto. You go out and conquer other nations in order to conquer the world.

There is stability/stalemate, so none of the nations can actually take over the world because if they start a war with another country, a third one might have an advantage. Mamatoto is different, it has zero territory to worry about. The problem is, it doesn't have much of a population either. So you don't really have an army, thus for many years, Mamatoto, the moving fortress, has been hiding in the monster lands.

Nanasu, who has studied magic really hard, has recently invented magic to create these magical soldiers. These soldiers are made via cards which you can obtain via battles. So the more battles you fight, the more cards you collect, and the more troops you have in reserve. So now, Mamatoto, the fastest moving fortress in the world, started its move to conquer the world. Mamatoto's goal isn't to get territory - it's to take out governments.

In the year 200X, a giant hole erupted in the middle of Japan. Called the Hell Hole, its appearance caused the sea to split and the lands to bend. The entirety of Japan was twisted out of shape, and dark B-crystals appeared everywhere, bestowing special powers to some people, mostly the younger generation. Special Students, as those people were soon called, became the object of fear. Japan became ruled by violence and terror and was cut off from the rest of the world.

A year after the appearance of the Demonic Hole, a Special Student with extraordinary strength managed to unite the Special Students throughout Japan. He formed the Student Union (S.U.) to bring order back to Japan, and Japan entered a peaceful time, but it was not meant to last.

Now, the land is more split than ever between the military of the PGG, the horrifying vampires of the Nightmare Eyes, the disciplined ninjas of the NPI, the fanatical Holy Flame knights, and the violent Skull Serpents sky pirates, with no end to the hostilities in sight. However, one man appearing in the Tokyo school may just change Japan forever…

Synopsis (VNDB):

Before the year 0 AD United Space Age, humans dotted parts of the vast universe and established independent nations.
Since sailing to other star regions requires more than several hundred years, it was practically impossible to establish contact with other nations.

In the year 0 AD United Space Age, the Eris Empire advanced their research on "strange spaces within star regions", and discovered that you can travel to other star regions in an instant using such spaces.
Such spaces named "warp gates" united the various star regions that have been so far isolated from each other.
Thus began the Age of Discovery.

Human beings who aspired to build nations spanning multiple star regions gradually repainted the star regions network map - the world map, through repeated aggression and conquest, submission and annihilation.

It's 939 AD United Space Age.
The leaders of three great nations are planning to start wars due to various reasons.
The biggest nation in the world, Eris Empire's council passes the world management plan that says Eris should suppress and dominate the chaotic world.
The oldest nation in the world, the Japanese Empire, tired out from the drawn-out war with the Chinese Empire, is being targeted by great nations.
A grand flame of war that will consume the whole world has been lit.

By the way, translation of Kichikou Rance is out!

https://mega.co.nz/#...fjNONjnX8G1LoRY

 

The translation is done by Arunaru, in case you didn't know.

Credits to him.

This makes Rance 5D, Rance VI, Rance Quest, Rance IX, and Rance 01 the only Rance games left untranslated.

 

 

Nice to see that you made it. Can't wait to see future updates on these titles.

Update:

 

Rance Quest going steady, now with almost 14% (13.92%) messages and 67% (67.35%) strings translated!

A .44% increase in messages, and .65% increase in strings from last week.

 

Progress is being slowed due to Tulip Goddess Maria translating another title for Mangagamer, but the Goddess delivers!

 

Meanwhile, have a moe.

Just a question, is  anyone working on Atlach Nacha?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlach-Nacha

 

Arunaru said that he might work on Atlach-Nacha, but he would need to finish it first. Sadly, he stated that he could not focus on reading visual novels lately, so it might take a little while. 

 

Arunaru's course of action is quite unclear as of now, but as far as I'm concerned, he isn't translating any of the games right now. I guess he's taking a break after translating Kichikuou Rance.

 

The games that Arunaru plans to translate, if he ever translates again, are Toushin Toshi III and Atlach-Nacha.

 

Blade Briders out next month, it's looking good. \o/

 

It's unsure if any of them would work on it.

The demo, however, was translated, as far as I'm concerned.

I'll try to confirm it later.

 

i'll help with the JAP to Eng translations for you

 

Thanks. I'm not the translator though.

Translators are 2.0 Translations and Arunaru.

Go to their homepage to learn more about how you could help.

I don't think they're recruiting though.

Its really a shame that Alicesoft loves to put rape on their games, they sound so cool gameplay and storywise but that just kills it. Hopefully dungeon and dolls dont come with it as i have been enjoying it so far.

 

But you won't play them, would you?

An exception is Dungeons & Dolls, of course, having a nameless protagonist.

Apparently there has been a translator working on Rance IX unbeknownst to me. 

His name is Oruore, and this is the reason why I thought it was weird that there was an extra translator in the team. I thought he was assisting some of the other three active translators in their games, but I guess I was wrong.

 

Oruore apparently posts in Mushoku Tensei threads in /a/ about his progress on Rance IX. Why he does this, I have no idea. But it adds thrill to looking for the progress.

 

Anyway, anons state that Rance IX has been translated nearly up to the end of Chapter 3. 

Looks like I'll have to move Rance IX to the games being translated.

Good job 2.0 Translations!

I'll be looking for Oruore in /a/ frequently now. Maybe I'll even lurk in the Mushoku Tensei threads. Yes, I'm that desperate. Rejoice fuwans. Salvation is at hand.

 

Now I wonder, who'll finish first? Aten Gnu (Rance 5D), Aristotles (Rance VI), or Oruore (Rance IX)? I just seriously hope they don't bail on it just like Ludo did. Or just like Roven-Pan did. Oh, what about Rance Quest? It's impossible to be finished before the other three games, unless the translators of the other games bail out. Fortunately, Tulip Goddess Maria is the one translating Rance Quest. I have faith she'll see it through the end.

 

Galzoo Island is still dead indefinitely stalled. Guyzoo, where are you?

 

Well, this turned out to be a bit of an opinion post.

 

tldr: Rance IX is being translated.

They do have gameplay wich i would probably make an exception depending on how good they are since i love SRPGs.

 

You're gonna go crazy in the Rance games though. They're standard ADV games. You wouldn't know what to do unless you're batshit crazy. Or just lucky.

 

 

Nice to see that IX is getting translated too. Now maybe me buying the game wasn't a bad Idea. 

 

You bought the game? Nice. If only I could buy the game too... I'll try getting a physical copy through some people. Thanks for reminding me.

 

 

This is a great list. I'm glad they're deciding to remake all the old Rances. The I liked the art a lot in Rance 2 remake.

 

The Rance II remake had nice art. I preferred the art of 01 though. Damn Lia's hot. Also, I'm a big fan of Kanami sooo.

Rape is justified for its inclusion in the story, as long as it's taken seriously, and used to further the plot in a dark way. Not some creepy fanservice like how Rance does it. Alicesoft isn't that bad though. From what I can tell about Nacha, there's no fanservice intended, (and is portrayed as how it is, inhuman, and horribly disgusting. It kinda helps that you play as a demon of cardinal hunger and lust, so your not some punk ass kid in look of "conquest", and quite rare that Hatsune makes victims of both genders, which is a rare case of female on male rape.)

I think it's fine people take issues with Rance.

 

I just hope they don't take issues with people who enjoy Rance lol. The rape is very cartoony to me, just like the random murders Rance commits on anyone who's not female. They are both appalling in real life and I hope no one has to experience them. I wouldn't enjoy it one bit.

 

BUT I laugh when it happens in Rance maybe because I compartmentalize really well.

I personally liked Rance because of his antics.

I wouldn't be loving the series as it is if Rance wasn't who he is.

Personally, the rape and random killing serves as entertainment in the game, though as the other guys up there, I wouldn't want anyone in reality to experience what the different characters in the Ranceverse go through.

After going through all that, Rance is just a person too. I like how his character develops. Well, at least I see a development. But anyway, the lore is awesome. 

I know that rape and murder are not acceptable. Yes, they aren't acceptable in our society. But let's be nice at least.

If you don't like the game, then leave it be. There's no need to drag others down into your disapproval of it. It's just a game.

But I am okay with people hating on it. Just don't hate on the people who play the game too. <3

Update!

 

The Tulip Goddess has delivered once again! Rance Quest is still steadily being translated, now with 14.31% messages and 68.17% strings translated! Once again, since Rance Quest is a huge game because of its expansion (Magnum), Maria has been reporting good progress each week. Let's pray that the Goddess doesn't succumb to the evils preventing the game to be translated!

 

Hail Tulip Goddess Maria!

 

Here's the actual progress report:

As always, have a moe.

Update:

 

Added the download link to Slash!, Thrust!, Burn!

 

Also, Pi-R came in with an addition to Kichikuou Rance!

Pi-R has inserted a TADA mode enabler and the English SSG with some new tricks.

From what I've heard, these can be used to edit certain values in the game, say, money.

I haven't tried it, but I'll update you guys as soon as I do.

Or you could update us here in the thread.

 

For those who want the TADA mode enabler and the English SSG, haniho.
