Suikoden (Japanese: 幻想水滸伝, Hepburn: Gensō Suikoden) is a popular series of role-playing video games. These games were created by the Japanese company Konami. The Suikoden series is known for its deep stories and many characters.
There are five main games in the Suikoden series. The first two games, Suikoden and Suikoden 2, came out on the original PlayStation console. Later games, Suikoden 3, Suikoden 4, and Suikoden 5, were released on the PlayStation 2.
What is Suikoden About?
In each Suikoden game, you play as a brave hero. This hero's main goal is to free their country. Sometimes, they fight against invaders from another land. Other times, they fight against a bad government within their own country.
To achieve this, the hero must gather a special group of people. These people are known as the "108 Stars of Destiny." They join your cause and help you build a strong army.
The World of Suikoden
Unlike some other game series, all Suikoden games take place in the same fantasy world. However, each game focuses on different countries and regions within that world. This means you can see how events in one game might affect places or characters in another. It makes the world feel very connected and alive.
