Suikoden is a classic JRPG inspired by the Chinese novel Water Margin, offering a grand political story of rebellion, betrayal, and empire-building. Players recruit up to 108 characters — the “Stars of Destiny” — to form their army against a corrupt empire. With its emotional storytelling, strategic castle management, turn-based combat, and simple yet beautiful pixel art, Suikoden became a cult favorite and a starting point for one of Konami’s most beloved RPG series.
