The enemies are very detailed and quite imaginative. The graphics in Suikoden are all hand-drawn and have a bit of that overseas look to them. This game has a bit of everything in it and if you want to know these secrets, you are just going to have to go buy it (which, by the way, I strongly recommend). I don't want to give away too much, because there are some serious plot twists that may surprise you. This only scratches the surface of all the aspects of this game. These are very useful and also have cool effects when used. Once a crystal is attached, your weapon now has special powers that inflict an extensive amount of damage to your opponent. You can take crystals to a shop and have them attached to your weapons. For example, you can visit the blacksmith and pay to have your weapons sharpened so you will inflict more damage on you enemies during battles.Īnother item you will find in your journey is crystal. In every town you visit, there is some sort of service that you can buy. Also, money is plentiful if you look in the right places and defeat enough enemies. You will collect items and gain strength, experience and other characteristics from the battles you win. This is helpful in some cases and detrimental in others. Some people are good and some people are bad, but almost everyone knows of your father. I know it sounds a little complicated, but it is very easy to get the hang of this.Īs you venture out on your missions, you will encounter many people. For example, if you are traveling with three other members and you are confronted by an enemy, you can choose each person's attack or magic and which enemy it is directed to. During the battle sequences, you have control over every action of every member in your group. When you are confronted by an enemy, the view shifts to a close-up of you, the rest of the people in your party and the enemies. As you maneuver through the worlds, you have the typical, top-down view of your character. You have a traveling perspective and a battle perspective. The game is basically controlled from two perspectives. The General gives you your objective and you are off. So you and your warrior go to see the General for your first assignment. Now that you have a name, it is time to start taking on some missions to move your way up in the world.īefore Teo leaves, he assigns a warrior to stay by your side in all the adventures you will encounter. Now, I'm sure it was no huge feat to do this, but it just shows Konami's attention to detail and their commitment to making the game experience as real as possible. Let me just say real quick that I thought it was very cool how the characters actually address you by the name you enter throughout the game. The first thing you will do is enter your name, and that becomes the name of the character throughout the story. So let's talk about what you actually do in Suikoden. This game is so addicting that I keep seeing my watch hit 3 o'clock twice in the same day. If you take all the things that made Zelda such a hit, power it by the 32-bit Playstation, and put it on a CD to make the worlds virtually limitless, out will come Suikoden. Suikoden is the best role-playing game since The Legend Of Zelda on the old NES.
Are you working for the wrong side? Is the Empire now the real enemy? Gameplay After a few short missions, you realize that there is something going on in the ranks of the Empire's army. Your job is to take the role of Teo's son and guide him through the missions he is assigned. Since Teo is going away on a journey, his son is assigned to serve under one of the other Generals in the army. Before leaving on his mission, Teo decides that his son is now man enough to join the forces of the army. Teo wishes for his son to follow in his footsteps as a great warrior fighting for the Empire.Īll is well in the Scarlet Moon Empire until one day trouble breaks out to the North and the great Emperor decides to send Teo to resolve the situation. The story of Suikoden starts out with the great warrior, Teo McDohl, speaking with his son. There is a ton of action, battles and brainwork all snugly packaged into a nice little CD. Suikoden is every role player's dream game. All I can think to say is, thank you, Konami, and it is about time we started to get the quality Japanese titles here in the old motherland. Suikoden is a wildly popular and addictive game and Konami has privileged the American market by bringing the title to the U.S. The best-selling role-playing title has made the journey from overseas and has docked on a Playstation near you.
