It should also be noted that this game has a parody of itself made by AliceSoft, namely an HGame called SengokuRance, the seventh in the {{Rance}} series with different gameplay setup (for obvious reasons, though both are quite good games in their own right), but both share the idea of taking a very BroadStrokes version of history, embellishing it with tons of RuleOfCool, and turning the whole thing into a WorldOfBadass.
