    This is one of those instances in which a numerical rating just isn't adequate. On the one hand, make no mistake about it - this is a Suikoden game in name only. The vast majority of the unique game-play traits that made the Suikoden series a classic of the 32-bit era are nowhere to be found, and the mature, politically-themed storytelling has been cast aside for an utterly linear and generic "good vs bad" plot that anyone with a passing interest in RPGs has heard a...

    Despite its Wi-Fi gaffe, its deviation from the Suikoden canon, and its lack of innovation, Suikoden Tierkreis doesn't seem as if it should be all that special of an experience. Yet, as you come to grips with whatever small grievances you start out with, there's a good chance you'll have a great experience by the time you complete its 40-hour-plus adventure. With a brisk pace that almost guarantees you will never get bogged down and wonderful aesthetics, Suikoden... Read more

    Making its debut on the DS is Konami's much respected Role Playing Game series Suikoden. Best known for its themes of political corruption, rebellion and magical runes, the DS spin off edges away from the familiarity to introduce a whole new story arc and a brand new set of characters, with traditional RPG elements and Anime visuals.

    The Suikoden series has always took place within the confines of the same universe, though each new game has been set within a different chunk of that world, allowing for a degree of freedom for Konami but also the chance for some familiarity and welcome nods to previous games. Fans have grown to love this universe (If you’re sad it might even be like a second home) and have enjoyed exploring new lands of the world, and, at the same time, meeting some familiar faces...

    In this game it is just another ordinary day for the children of Citro village until they decide they will patrol the eastern mountain for Laggarts. Later they stumble across some ruins, and they go deeper inside them, when they see a mysterious book lying on the ground. They go to pick it up and when they touch it they see a vision. After the vision they feel more powerful because they have the mark of the stars, a mysterious power. They exit the ruins and suddenly the... Read more
