All other Rance games to-date have been released for Windows. It was also the first AliceSoft game released for Windows, instead of any number of Japanese computer systems. It is the first territory acquisition-based Rance game, and was the genesis for other similarly-designed games. Rance, in fulfilling his general rôle as an epic hero, saves The Continent from destruction by a greater evil. Large opposition forces arise tried to remove the tyrant ruler from power yet, Rance continues his trials to re-assert his power as the King of Leazas, retrieve Sill from Helman control, and take over the world. The imperial army quickly puts down Rance's rebellion and take Sill captive however, he escapes to Leazas, where he marries the country's queen to become a tyrant 'brutal king,' commanding his own army to seek his revenge on Helman. Rance, bored of his normal life, gathers a group of outlaw bandits and takes over some towns in southern Helman. The game was assumed to be the final in the Rance series, and one of the final AliceSoft games however, its great popularity allowed the company to continue its production of games. In addition, the first two games, Rance – Hikari Quest – and Rance Ⅱ – Rebellious Maidens –, have been retro-actively superseded by their later-released versions, Rance 01 – Hikari Quest – and Rance 02 – Rebellious Maidens –. The main series has nine games, while the Kichikuou Rance sub-series has five games either released as a part of the sub-series or canonically altered to be in that time-line. The Rance series follows the titular character, Rance, as he saves a number of kingdoms, defeats demon invaders, and causes mischief in the in-game world, 'The Continent.' He has appeared in most of the main series games as the playable character, accompanied by his loyal slave, Sill Plain.
