Suikoden Tierkreis, originally released in Japan as Gensō Suikoden Tierkreis (幻想水滸伝ティアクライス,? with “Tierkreis” being German for “Zodiac”), is a role-playing video game for the Nintendo DS developed and published by Konami as part of their Suikoden series. Originally released in December 2008 for Japanese audiences, the game was made available in English in Europe and North America the following March. The game’s development was led by project head Osamu Komuta, who had previously directed Suikoden Tactics, with a music staff composed of Norikaku Miura, Yoshino Aoki, Masaharu Iwata, and Kaori Komuro. The game features the opening and ending theme songs “Tears in the Sky” and “Tierkreis” respectively, each performed by Japanese pop idol Satomi Takasugi.
Created as a spin-off of the main series of games, Suikoden Tierkreis was made to explore one of the myriad of worlds that exist in the Suikoden metaverse. Following the game’s main theme of “the infinite possibility of future”, players must assume the role of an unnamed young male protagonist to gather the combined forces of 108 heroes and defeat a powerful villain known as The One King, leader of The Order of the One True Way, who seeks to control the world by spreading his doctrine that all fate is predetermined and all people have no control of their lives.
Okay… that folks, you can read that from wikipedia. Just type Suikoden Tierkreis in the search box and click go.
now, for my comment after playing this game
(but haven’t beat it yet because now I’am in my last year of High school, so I get lots of exam and can’t play regularly)
Even though there are some difference from the usual suikoden.
- four party member (usually six)
- different world map exploring style
- Buy Weapons (not upgrade them)
- the main protagonist DO talk
- different kind of war (just sit back and watch the story rolls then battle)
- no RUNES (In this game it’s called mark of the stars)
- Different universe (so don’t expect any of your old fav suikoden chars appear)..
- “save the world” theme
- Monster DO NOT drop money (they drop trade items which you CAN trade for money)
- etc
- etc
Okay there’s a lot of difference in there but It’s still worth playing (just consider it NOT a suikoden, you might get a better feeling playing this game).
The story is entertaining, just like other suikoden (if you played other suikodens)
Still recruiting those 108 characters is the main challange of every suikoden series (except tactics which I don’t know and suikogaiden)
a mission list for some side quest and character recruiting.
money is definitely not a problem here (you get a bunch from mission rewards. Note that if you can manage the money)
an anime style cut-scene is a nice addition to this game.
and the characters are mostly like-able, cute and charming XD
Ok… enough of this nonsense
I’ll just go straight to the point. (not good at explaining things and not wanting to write too long)
Suikoden Tierkreis is recommended for those who like to play classic console turn-based RPGs or bored with real-time RPGs (like KH and such) and want a little laid back game. even though it’s quite slow on the start, it get pretty interesting quick.
and surely a must for suikoden fans. (even if it’s setting it’s in a WHOLE different universe).
