About Suikoden

Suikoden is an adventure and Role-playing (RPG) game developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo and published by Konami, released on 15 December 1995.

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).
