Today on the blog, we have a special programmer’s corner for Rance Quest Magnum from Toufu Guy!
Hi!! It’s toufu guy – I’ve been working on Rance Quest Magnum as its programmer for the last year-ish, and am so proud that Rance Quest Magnum is finally reaching the Western world.
There’s a lot of stuff going on in this game, and I just wanted to make sure I’m giving some big tips so you can enjoy this game to its fullest. Some things are new, and others are can be a little buried.
TADA Mode
In the nearly 10 years since Rance Quest Magnum initially came out, the Rance Series Director, TADA, has spent plenty of time agonizing over the game and what could be even better about it.
He has even released several patches, on his own time, that gently tweak mechanics, or adds in new characters. In the most recent patch, 3.860, which the MangaGamer version incorporates, TADA completely re-did the easy mode from the game into a simpler format.
Since the game’s original easy mode came with some heavy nerfs (such as permanently locking you out of post-game content if you enabled it even once), I would never recommend using it.
However, TADA’s re-implementation simplifies it into a “2x mode” that gives 2x exp and 2x gold with zero downsides. In my opinion, it drastically improves the playability of Rance Quest Magnum as the experience lets you keep more characters at viable levels with less grinding, and you can afford more gear to try different combinations of gear. The team decided to dub the 2x mode as “TADA Mode” out of respect to TADA, and you can enable it from quest 13 – “Alice’s Mansion.” (TADA Mode is disabled by default, so you will have to visit Alice’s Mansion after the first quest to enable it.)
New And Improved “Quest” Ending
As many of you may be aware, Rance Quest Magnum is actually a two-part feature! The original Rance Quest released on August 26th, 2011, with the Magnum expansion releasing on March 24th, 2012.
The Magnum expansion expanded on both the story and mechanics of the game. The additional story in the Magnum expansion is its own story arc with a finale overshadowing the original Quest ending. However, it puts the Quest ending in an awkward position since they actually have some mutually exclusive content. In the Magnum expansion, Alice told the player to just remember that parts of the ending happened, and other parts didn’t.
Here, TADA comes in to save the day again. In TADA’s 3.860 patch, he comes in with surgical precision to create a branching path so you can choose whether to experience the original Quest ending or to segue into the Magnum campaign. This does mean you will have to beat the final quest of the Quest campaign TWICE to be able to reach all of the content in the game.
Custom Characters
Rance Quest Magnum has no fewer than 68 characters available throughout the game (with potentially a few more available for those willing to challenge World 2 and World 3).
Rance Quest Magnum Save Dataset
With that many options available, AliceSoft built a robust character system that lends itself well to custom characters. By buying a “Character Ticket” from Frostbuy, and then heading to quest 129 – “Alice’s Guest” – you can create your own character.
In my example, I created a returning character from Sengoku Rance! All you need to do is have a 196 x 232 png file of the character’s face, drag it into the “Face CG” sub-folder of your SaveData folder (AliceSoftRance QuestSave Data), and you’re ready to go!
There are a multitude of classes and skills available to you when you first create your character, so feel free to have some fun with it!
Advanced: Custom characters start out rather generic, and can pale in comparison to the likes of Rance, Kenshin Uesugi, Shizuka Masou, and Bernard Ceramité.
There is the additional quest 106 – “Dark Alice’s Pay2Win Room” – where you can teach your custom character more advanced skills to be competitive with even the strongest of the main characters in Rance Quest Magnum. Be wary though, when Dark Alice says “Pay2Win,” she is going to ask you for some serious amounts of gold!
Data Collection
Rance Quest Magnum Save Database
One of the coolest components of Rance Quest Magnum to work on was actually implementing the “Data Collection” feature. All across the world, people will play the game in different ways, and some completionists are going to push themselves to reach the very ends of what the game has to offer.
The data collection collects statistics from everybody who consents to it, and from there you can see the spread of how strong all of the different Rances are and how many days have been spent playing through everything Rance Quest Magnum has to offer. If you want to participate, you can always go to Config -> Other 2 -> Connect to network to enable data sharing.
All in all, Rance Quest Magnum is a huge game with a lot to offer, and I hope everybody is excited to finally get their hands on this absolute classic.
Rance Quest Magnum is available for pre-order exclusively on MangaGamer.com!

Length- 8-10 hours
Rance 01 is the complete remake of Rance 1, the very old adventure game that started one of the longest running RPG series in the world.
For the most part, 01 just brings the lore into place that was just wonky in 1 while expanding some of the character stories and making the combat more interesting. From memory there’s only two completely new sections of the story. Still, they took an 1:30 hour game into something closer to 10.
Story
The stories of the original and this remake are the same. Rance is given a job to find a girl named Hikari who is a noble’s daughter. She went missing so Rance drags his (I think recently acquired) slave Sill to the capital of Leazas to search. Rance sends Sill to school since that’s where Hikari was last seen and searches on his own. Going on a few tangent quests before finding the culprit and changing a lot of peoples lives forever.
Rance is really a jerk in this one, with his taste in women being at the most wide it ever is. I think it’s 2 where he stops having an interest in loli’s like Patty, though the jerkery never really changes. He just gets more silly petty versus cruel as time goes on with episodes of cruelty just sprinkled in. Here though, he’s at his least heroic.
The only real additions 01 has in story and characters is Menad, a gate guard who you deal with to get into a coliseum, and some side quest arc with gambling. Every thing else is expanded on, but I do remember from the original.
Gameplay
The original Rance 1 was an adventure game with RPG combat thrown in. You would go into the field, hit attack until things died, go buy the best weapon and repeat until you could kill the strongest thing out there and had the best weapons bought. That takes about 10 minutes and then you are ready to just rub Rance’s face into everything to find stuff.
01 keeps the adventure game face rubbing. Interrogating and investigating are still a major part of the game’s advancement and a lot of good stuff is hidden behind looking around a lot. The combat on the other hand is completely different.
So this is technically a card game, though it calls them chips. You have a small amount of chips on you that represent your inventory. Weapons, armor, items, and key items all are chips. Some have passive abilities like stopping status effects, but most are either quest items or battle only stuff.
Combat is turn based. You throw up as many chips as you can/want each turn to deal damage and defend yourself. Each chip has an attack value, defense value, and a cooldown that represents how often you can use it in combat. Cooldowns only reset when you leave exploring and go back to turn, which you can do any time.
As for dungeoning, its cards. There’s 5 rows, and you can move straight, left, or right. Your goal is usually the blue cards where events occur, though there’s also traps, treasures, and monsters to deal with. Compared to Rance 1 this is a lot more engaging, though just about any kind of system would have been. It has charm though, and for the most part exploring was quick and enjoyable enough.
H and Other stuff
Rance Quest is considered the first well written game when it comes to porn in the series. 03 is the only voiced entry, so 01 which released between those two is at least written better then most of the series. Do remember that this is Rance at his worst with the fewest girls knowing who he is. So of course, that means most scenes are him forcing himself on girls with only a small number of actual consensual scenes. And there is some outright torture stuff in some of the scenes.
The weirdest thing in this is that Sill, Rance’s slave, is frigid. She doesn’t enjoy having sex with Rance at all until I think the next game. Few girls really do, but Sill is the only girl Rance has slept with before this adventure and she doesn’t enjoy it making what should have been the most vanilla content into more Rance forcing himself on her as she just… hurts.
There is a small number of scenes Rance isn’t in which mostly just show that for as bad as Rance is, he’s not the worst around. His world has some really bad people with more power then they should have.
Verdict
Decent. I struggled with the combat for a long time though, as I never felt like my numbers where as high as they should have been but when I wasn’t struggling the charm of the game kept me interested. Replaying a bit do to missing something, not needing to pay attention to as many small triggers and playing way more loosely felt more enjoyable, so you might want to ignore a guide on your first run even though you will likely need one to get everything.
I honestly don’t think of 01 as a good starting place in the series. It doesn’t do much to require playing to get the rest of the story, and the actual gameplay is at an okay level for me. If I wanted someone to get into Rance as a series, 02 or Sengoku would probably be better. Not that this is bad, it just only introduces like three reoccurring characters that get much better introductions in 3 and barely any actual lore.
One note for any one else trying to 100% this. The gal monsters all have cgs that you get by using an explicit attack and doing double there HP that turn. For the Zombie elf thing in the graveyard, it has four scenes based on doing that. If you return to its event card after doing the story stuff there and having fought it the first time, you fight it again 4 times in a row with slightly different names each time. If you kill it here fully, it will not respawn. It is one of many things that are missable in the game, and one of the more annoying ones.
Save for Rance 01 ~Quest for Hikari~
Contains- All cgs and scenes unlocked.
