Introduction Sengoku Rance , the seventh main entry in Alice Soft’s long-running Rance series, is a unique blend of turn-based strategy, visual novel storytelling, and adult humor. Set in a fictional, war-torn version of Japan called JAPAN , the game parodies the real Sengoku period (1467–1615). The game’s map is not just a backdrop—it is the central strategic layer. Players control the protagonist, Rance, as he leads the Oda clan to unify the 40+ territories under one banner. | Terrain | Movement Cost | Defense Bonus
