* [[Audience-Alienating Premise]]: The protagonist is a [[Jerkass]] who isn't beyond resorting to rape on his [[Quest for Sex]]. Needless to say, there's a lot more to it than that.
* [[Base Breaker]]:
** With a character like Rance, it's inevitable. Plenty consider him to be a [[Crazy Awesome]] breath of fresh air from the generally uninspired [[Visual Novel]] protagonists, while just as many consider him to be an immature series of rape jokes and nothing else. Whether he's a rounded character who shows large amounts of depth and [[Character Development]] across the series or a Flat Character is also a recurring argument. The fact that a woman helped create him the way he is also often a hot button topic when discussing his habits and why he is like that.
** Sill Plain is a very divisive character, with many seeing her as a fantastic Foil to the incorrigible Rance while just as many deride her as a bland and out of place Love Interest in a series that doesn't need one. This is also reflected in the character polls where, despite being the ''de facto'' main heroine of the entire series, Sill doesn't ever place very high.
* [[Crossing the Line Twice]]: Much of the humor is relies on [[Black Comedy Rape|rape]] and the eponymous protagonist being a [[Jerkass]] (though if he does occasionally have his [[Pet the Dog]] moments)
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: Triples as [[Leitmotif]] and [[Real Song Theme Tune]] (of the East Germany national anthem) for My Glorious Days. A version of this song has been present since [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZG0eNkaLyY Rance II].
** The Rance games have had at least ''one'' other incredible piece starting from Kichikuou.
* [[Fetish Retardant]]: Some players will be too busy [[Black Comedy Rape|laughing]] or [[Moment of Awesome|awed]] by the sex scenes to actually be aroused by them. Part of this is due to the [[Awesome Music]] that plays during most of them and the resulting [[Soundtrack Dissonance]].
* [[Genius Bonus]]: How else would you recognize all of the [[Shout
* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff]]: Or rather, Americans Love ''Sengoku Rance''. The game is widely regarded as the best Alicesoft game period in the United States, while it is merely considered a particularly good installment in the ''Rance'' series in Japan, where ''Kichikuou Rance'' still holds the title for best in the series.
* [[Magnum Opus]]: Definitely the one for [[
* [[Older Than They Think]]: Since the first [[Fan Translation|Fan Translated]] game is [[Sengoku Rance]] (Rance 7), many will be surprised to learn that the Rance Series has been around since 1989. Not to mention the games the series itself was [[Spin-Off|spun off]] from, Little Princess and Little Vampire, which were made in 1987 and 1988 respectively.
* [[Squick]]: Due to [[Playing to The Fetishes]] being turned [[Up to Eleven]], some may have this reaction.
