Sengoku Rance Steam Version Launches October 2

Kagura Games and MangaGamer announced on September 24 that the Steam version of Sengoku Rance will launch on October 2. AliceSoft developed the original game, which came out in 2006 as the seventh entry in the Rance series. The story follows protagonist Rance and his partner Sill as they visit the eastern country called JAPAN, where Rance becomes a provincial lord and fights to unify the realm. Players manage territory, armies, and generals in a region conquest simulation, with turn-based tactical battles and branching story events. Recruitable generals each have unique abilities and personal scenarios, and the game supports repeated playthroughs with carried-over elements. The Steam release is planned with a Japanese interface and subtitles. Kagura Games' social media account lists October 2, while the Steam store page lists October 1, a difference attributed to time zone factors.
