How it feels
A sweeping, melancholic adventure where the weight of war and loss feels personal as you build alliances, recruit unlikely allies, and watch a growing home base slowly fill with the people you've saved.

About
Suikoden II is a role-playing game developed and published by Konami for the PlayStation. Set in a world of warring nations, the game follows a silent protagonist caught between the Kingdom of Highland and the City-States of Jowston. Gameplay combines turn-based party combat, one-on-one duels, and grid-based strategic army battles. Players can recruit over 100 characters, many of whom join the party or contribute to a home base that expands throughout the game. Save data from the original Suikoden can be imported to carry over certain characters and story details.
What players say
Initially overlooked for its sprite visuals but now a beloved cult classic, praised for a mature, tragic war story, memorable villain and the obsessive joy of recruiting 108 characters; seen as one of the best and most emotionally affecting JRPGs.
