Daibanchou -Big Bang Age-

Before I download, is this an action type like Brave Soul or visual novel action type like Princess Waltz?

Neither one or the other its like a turn based stategy game(manage and defend territories\resourses with turn based batles up to 6 characters in each group and its not a easy game especially since the first two areas of the game are timed take too long and you lose and in the second area you are under attack pratically every turn(tons of diferent characters to get ) . Nice artwork but a bit hard for my standarts(and the main story isn´t that great) .

Just a note about installation. This game takes issue when you try to type in the install path manually. It also takes issue when you try to install to a path that doesn't exist yet. First create your folder in windows explorer then point to it via the second button on the installer window. You should be good to go after that.

Is there any walkthrough for this game?

Yeah now that I've got this installed I'm going to have to pass. The combat system is confusing and there is far too much to do. After searching for a walkthrough I found that there are 16 different ones... and no that isn't different authors re-wording that same stuff, there are 16 distinct sections (8 character and 8 conquest) each of which requiring a full walkltrhgouh.

So if anyone has a master walkthrough that is actually readable and useful, please post it.

Hell I have seen "true" strategy games with less menus that this pratically no explanation of the combat system and too much elements that do pratically nothing even with a master walkthrough things would still be pretty damn confusing(one complete run of the game is painfull enougth imagine having to do 5 or 6 its pure torture ) .

Or you can just cheat using ArtMoney.

( Works for about every strategy Hgame, as they are defessless against memory reading. )

Nay this is not worth even the eforth to cheat and you would still have to do various runs(at least 6 or 7) to get all the endings . A complete save\CG file would be enougth .

Also the main problem here isn´t the dificulty of the game but the sheer number of diferent options you have to get diferent characters without a clear walkthrough this turns into a mess .(Hell in some cases getting one character puts others out of the list)The choise of having the cute loli gothic girl cuts you from one of the best male fighers in the early stage for example(the guy hates her)...

i REALLY LOVE THE MAKER OF THIS WEBSITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TY VERY MUCH, it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find this vn in english so kudos and please keep posting!

anyone have a complete modded sav with max all items and secret

so theres no guide for this 'uber hard' game!? is it that hard? strategy games I played were fireemblem(getting all char was hell in that) disgaea series.. Is it tougher than those?

Hell yea you can´t have all the characters in one game this needs various runs to end up with them all without a clear and easy to use guide this ends up being anoying(and you can only save at the end of a day).

umm... help someone my voices arent working for the game

1. If you've played Sengoku Rance it's easier to understand the system(though this is more annoying).

2. http://alicesoft.wikia.com/wiki/Big_Bang_Age
Not a complete guide, but it does give detailed info on how to get each character, clear them, and who they can't work with. Also has other good info.

3. BP(the money) can be hard to keep in hand at first in Natioal chapter(Especialy when your brother gives you a debt of over 2000 BP from the last chapter). Take over PGG quickly for more territory for income. Recruit eyeless units for cheap income(low pay, high income). Eyeless units of the enemy are usually recruitable in their capitol after defeat.

4. Unlike Rance...
A. You only get 1 action per turn(besides fights).
B. You have a time limit in each chapter(25 turns for school and district chapter, 100 for national). Going over is auto- death.
C. Rouga doesn't care if they are loli or mature... so long as they want it. Rance just took the ones he wanted.

5. Overall... I'd say Sengoku Rance beats this out(easier system, and more player friendly.)

thanks for adding this one!

Anyone else having problems playing the game? I have Windows 7 64 bit and I'm having problems during combat. After the characters do their animation, the game freezes and I can't proceed.

I've tried to make the game compatible to Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 2000 and it still doesn't work. Any solutions?

dear. god.
I never thought THIS game of all the game could get the complete English translations. I played it since I was in college years, and now, five years after that it gets translated. I am overjoyed to see my (used to be) favourite game now become understandable.

Thank you for such a good find, Admin. I love you.

so is this game like sengoku rance?

everytime I try and install this i get an error message halfway thru and all that nds up getting installed is an empty dll folder and an empty savedata folder.

I followed all the instructions in the post. Setup the locale to japanese then installed daemon tools then mounted. Please help.

I really am thankful that there is a game like Sengoku Rance... I am near the finish and then *poof* game over... Yeah! This rocks! Thank you very much for sharing admin!

there is an "final" 1.0 patch version on http://blog.seiha.org/2010/09/daibanchou-big-bang-age-english-patch-1-00/

could you update the links?

nice game i'd really like it so much just like sengoku rance though its more complicated in many ways i'd manage to finish ch1,ch2 and about half in ch3 ahaha lots of test turn just to figure out what the best move but i can say their are only two routes you can take in this game Senna/Kunagi route but for the rest of the characters events wew so many

This game is really famous though, it has another port of it, a fighting game which is also called Big Bang Beat... I think...

Considering this was released 3 years before Sengoku Rance. Different theme but still awesome game. 5/5 must play.

i downloaded the files and did everthing but i do see any iso to mount which of the 4 files has it plz help DX

After the game starts, I get a pop-up with the top bar saying DataFile.dll and a message in japanese. Then that short animation of a blonde girl dancing shows up, but I get a black screen after that and nothing happens. Does anyone know what I could do to fix this?

how do i install the english patch pls help

I'm having trouble installing this on windows 7 ultimate. It starts installing the files then all of the sudden stops and gives a blank error message. Anyone else have a similar problem?

@okonokos im having the same problem and I still dont know how to solve it.. Anyone knows how to solve it?

well same problem too
i get a blank error message when installing the game. any solution?

For the few guys who're having issues installing, I was having the same error you were. I finally got it running on my windows xp, maybe this'll help.
Don't bother installing it. Mount the cd on whatever, and open up the cd. Copy & paste everything in the GAMEDATA folder to where you want your game to be, then put all the stuff in the patch where it should be. Run the system40 with applocale, and it worked for me, atleast

Many games have troubles for Win 64 bits because they were made for 32 bits. Heck, i have problems installing Mass Effect on my computed, so...and it appears that it does not have a solution at the time besides getting something 32 bit

So im getting a datafile.dll problem when I strat the game.. It shows the first animation but then there is no menu? Any tips on how to solve this? I didnt install, I did what Seithis said and it was actually better than trying to install it as it was futile. Im running it on Windows 7 86x

CG save 100% :

Ahmmm admin is this uncensored?? Waiting for reply... Thx... :D

Mystogan19,no it's not.
I'm just been playing now,but it's a nice game;)

DOES ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO CHANGE RESOLUTION?
I CHANGE IT TO,for example,1024 X 768,BUT IT TURNS ALWAYS TO 640 X 480.

ANY IDEAS?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

p.s there are options(miscellaneous i think)too,but it's all in japanese.

I can't manage to make it work :( i tried to install it but i got a blank error, so i put the GAMEDATA directly from the cd to a folder but when i run the system40.exe it open two windows (which are full of weird character) named sys42VM however, after closing them i get a black window... Please help me, What should i do ? i'm on win7 64bit

need help
the game at my pc has an error it seems cause event that are supposed to appear dont and event that are supposed to disappear dont
what going ?
for example the shed incident is supposed to cancel out the locker icident but it doesnt and after recruiting the kendo girl i still cant recruit the archer girl
and after the first event with the nurse i dont get the one thats supposed to follow it , whats wrong?

I'm having problems concerning the games sound, It doesn't seem to play. Anyone know of what I did wrong?

You means the character's voice,or the games itself even the BGM???
If you can't even heard the BGM,i suggest you to re-install or re-download the game.
If it's the character's voice,it's not a problem since in normal conversation it won't have any voice,it will only have sound on CGs and while character's fighting only.
Well,most of the sound are concentrate on CGs,means the H event of various characters[Though have few minor charaters H scene won't have the character's voice]

Admin, I've got to thank you for giving all of us a chance to experience these games. I know it can't be easy maintaining a site like this, but know that we all appreciate your work and wish you the best!

if ur having problem installing just choose the 2nd option and choose the folder u want to install it to

Sorry to complain, but Ive downloaded the game and its in japanese, so i extraced the english patch to the game directory, but still nothing. What do i do to put it in english?
