    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...

    Nevertheless, this is a largely enjoyable journey for series fans - a dilution of what has gone before, but one that suits the handheld and serves its audience well. As a result, Suikoden Tierkreis offers a blueprint for how developers of modest JRPG series can continue their lineage into the future. Read more

    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

    Suikoden’s a little on the easy side, with auto-leveling-up and rarely any danger of seeing a game over screen, but this is our favourite RPG of recent months. 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.

    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

    ===INTRODUCTION=== Konami returned to the RPG world in 2009 with the latest installment of their epic Suikoden series, only this time, to the handheld world of the Nintendo DS. Despite many hardcore and diehard Suikoden fans initially suspecting that Tierkreis would be a failure, they were later redeemed and reassured as the release of the game bought the suikoden world back to its gaming roots. With familiar battle systems and an epic Suikoden-like storyline set in an... Read more
