About

Suikoden is a Japanese-style role-playing game with several unusual additions. There are three kinds of combat in the game, the most common one being the traditional turn-based party combat (players can have up to six people in their active party). Magic runes can be equipped on the player's characters which allow limited usage of offensive and healing spells. There are also a few army battles, where the player must control whole units of fighters, archers, magicians, etc., and one-on-one fights (duels).

What players say

A sleeper-hit JRPG that fans adore for recruiting 108 characters and building your own castle army, giving it a uniquely communal, cozy scope. Remembered as an underrated cult gem with genuinely tragic, human story beats.
