Rance IX: The Helmanian Revolution is the 12th game in Alicesoft's flagship Rance Series. It takes place in Helman and revolves around Patton Misnarge's revolution against the Empire of Helman, drawing elements from other subplots as well. The official website was launched on 14th November, 2013 and the game was released on April 25th, 2014.

Unlike the previous game, it is an SRPG divided in chapters with many different events, be it story-related or just battles. The battle system is in a turn-based chess board style, moving units of different classes across the map. Different classes vary the way their stats grow wildly. They all have their own unique special moves as well, all completely different to others for different purposes. Aside from the battle system, the game features a new and exclusively seen "Rance Mode", which allows Rance to H one of the main heroines(whoever the player picks) and increase the relationship with her. Depending on the heroines cleared, a different route will be taken near the end of the game, splitting in different endings depending on the heroine chosen. Despite the gameplay being fairly fun and involving, it is usually considered a weaker aspect of the game and pales in comparison to previous Rance games, yet the story is often considered top notch, with an interesting setting and some great twists and characters. The ero content is also considered among the best of the series.

The game is noted for being incredibly similar to the SRPG released in the 90s by Alicesoft, Mamatoto. It has a huge amount of references to the game, many of the gameplay elements are very similar and downright based off the game, and even some characters were created to be replicas of the ones from Mamatoto. The similarities are so big that many claim that it's almost a Mamatoto remake in a way.
