Suikoden Review

This week I will be reviewing an old PS1 RPG called Suikoden which was released in 1996. You might be wondering why I'm reviewing such an old game well a few months ago it was released on the PSstore for six dollars. You begin the game as the son of the great general of the Scarlet Moon Empire Teo Mcdohl.Your father is called away to fight up in the north and you enlist into the Imperial army. After going on a few missions you soon realize that the king and his empire are corrupt. Your close friend Ted is in possession of one of the twenty seven true runes called Soul Eater. You are given possession of the rune after the Imperial army comes looking for it. You join up with the Liberation Army which you become the leader of later on. You have to raise an army to combat the Imperial army to defeat the King and his five generals. This is a RPG like I've never seen before and I've seen a lot trust me. The amount of playable characters in the game is just insane there are 108 people you can recruit into your army. The party you play as is made up of six characters which I haven't seen a party that big either. Most RPGs make you buy new or find weapons while playing the game but there is only one weapon you can find and it's plot specific, your characters are stuck with one weapon throughout the whole game and you have to upgrade it. The game has a really interesting siege mode which you use to take over outposts. It acts on a rock, paper, scissors type to win the fights. You have charge beating arrows, arrows beating magic, and magic beating charge. The characters you find to join your army help you out in the sieges like boosting charge and learning the enemies next move. Over all I really enjoyed this game and would highly recommend it.
