Not bad for a kickstarter game. Konami needs to do better. They can’t even finish a half baked remaster of Suikoden on time.

That long wait for fast travel is nothing if you've played Suikoden 2. You already owned a fricking castle by the time you get the blinking mirror and Viki lol

If you grew up playing PS1 JRPGs, then this game is for you.

Duel is not completely random; there's a hint in the dialogue about what the enemy is going to choose

Playing it right now! Really feels like the original suikoden (2)

its a kickstarter game from the original creator of legendary Suikoden 1 and 2 Yohitaka Murayama, who tragicaly passed away just before the game release, it didnt have resource like other big company game, so its pretty impressive, so far im loving it, taking me back to my childhood, im giving it 8/10 ..., hope there will be eiyuden 2 with more budget and bigger team ...

WTF IGN expecting? 100++ characters with full backstory explained?

Honestly... All those characters gathering is just our pokemon reflexe. Gotta catch em all. 😋

Wait is there a humanoid capybara running a hot spring?! Sold

It's a 9 for me

Please do a better research before posting a video, the duel was never random. There are dialogs hints for it

If you love Suikoden , then this game is a no brainer

No mention of suikoden? No mention this game was specifically made for suikoden fans? Disappointing review.

It's incredible for anybody who enjoyed Gameboy jrpgs like Pokemon red/blue. It's modern day suikoden. It's glorious.

After campaign is there anything to do? Like unlimited small missions or freedom to roam? Ex pokemon, beat the game but can still go battle and do things. If this makes sense 😅

I’m upset it’s a 90’s RPG - IGN review

The duel for the enemy next action to take is based on their dialogue, if their dialogue is tempting us to attack they will use counter, if their dialogue feel like they will attack, it's attack, is not chances, Suikoden also like that.

For me this is so far my Game of the Year!

the early backtracking is not that bad you can put in low level characters into the party and level them on the way back its worth even if they arent your main party since they determine the strength of your field army if you are a fan of Fire Emblem you should give this one a chance

How is he doing so much damage 1:48? My characters were doing half that for that fight

Should've mentioned that the whole game is a love letter and pretty much the successor to the Suikoden series. It's great.

Did the reviewer not play any suikoden games where this is clearly inspired by? Suikoden 1/2 are very close to this and are very much loved.

3 Minutes into the video and your critics are: 1) Slow start because the story is actually told properly 2) You sometimes have to think for yourself about what you have to do 3) You have to actually play the game for a while before being able to fast travel (The map up to this point isn't even big)

Suikoden 2 is my all time favorite rpg, loving Eiyuden so far!

The blue dude better not betray me like Jowy did.

Is the switch bersion patched up

It makes me really sad that this review references Pokemon several times and there isn't a single mention of Suikoden. Surely SOMEBODY at IGN has played a Suikoden game?! You've got to have somebody over age 20 over there, right?

As a die hard fan of Suikoden 2 and never got over the amazing story line, is this game worth to pick up? It's very high in the price range so I'm still contemplating...

This reminds me a bit of how the remake for Star Ocean Second Story was done!

Do you guys recommend the game for a Final Fantasy fan? This looks beutiful and fun

The soundtrack and voice acting in this game are amazing!! for me is 8.5 minimum and 9 maximum

Did they fix the terrible localisation

Loving the game so far. No complaints

Lmao they deleted my comment about giving neutral 7 ratings is a cop-out since they're lazy reviewers

This is much more like sequel to Suikoden 2 ❤

after 6.

TLDR : It's a 7 according to IGN.

Attention all RPG game lovers! It's time to demand better reviews from IGN for RPG games. A true RPG game is all about exploring, discovering yourself, figuring out the best team and tactics for your party. The games from the Final Fantasy series in the 90s and early 2000s were challenging and exciting, providing gamers with a sense of accomplishment upon completion. Nowadays, RPG games have become too easy and unchallenging, losing their charm and originality. It's time for game developers to take inspiration from the early RPG games and bring back the excitement of exploring the unknown world and solving mysteries, like in the classic Pokemon games. Traditional RPG games should be designed to keep you engaged for hundreds of hours without finishing the game within just 30 hours. Let's demand better RPG games, ones that are truly challenging and engaging, and let's make sure IGN's reviewers are up to the task of evaluating them accurately.

Really great that this finally got released 🥰

"pokemon with soldiers" ... oh ffs you really got someone who never played Suikoden to review this, huh?

MORE characters PLEASE 🤗

You already know the score

For suikoden 1 or 2, it will take a while too befoee you can do the fast travel and there aew also tons of cannon fodder but cool characters

Basicly the 3 aspect of battle is same as Suikoden do

suikoden 5 or this better ?

Best JRPG ❤❤❤

You my friend clearly never played a Suikoden Game.

SETE IGN nossa vamo se mancar um pouquinho, pelo menos 7.5 merece. não terminei mas nossa

PC 😊😊 ... play smoothly with i7 10th gen with intel graphic @1080p

Gimmick vs Nerthus was annpying. Picked 10 times in a row wrong hammer.

reminds me of Suikoden series...

suikoden 6?

after beating the game.. out of 10... it was 4 out of 10 for me compared to suikoden 2

A decent amount of the gripes are, "the game did not hold my hand." So I'm sold, baught the game.

I’m disappointed with 3 main character nowa, marisa and seigh without true rune like suikoden series.

Why every ign review is a 7/10??

This new game kinda reminds me of Suikoden 1-2!? 😮

If you like Suikoden, then this one is for you

So ...this is Suikoden basically?

It's so obvious that this game was heavily inspired by Suikoden but the guy reviewing it doesn't seem to realise that lol

Whyyyy is everything a 7?

You can't say this game doesn't give out Suidoken vibe.

THE REVIEW SOUNDS LIKE HE IS REVIEWING SUIKODEN 2 LMAO

The game has a lot of minor inconviences that does'nt need to be there.

Welp im not surprised

bruv 15 HRS just to unlock fast travel??? what?

do NOT get this on switch at least not yet. its the most unoptimized crap since batman ak

Started playing but felt it was going to be an extremely slow start and bailed. Looks cool though

This isnt a game review its just someone saying what happens in the first 3 hours of the game and then saying 7. One of the worst reviews ive ever seen

so far 8/10 for me.

IGN gives it a 7 - Everyone disliked that

What happened to IGN.

They gave it a 7

This reviewer only play Final Fantasy thats why he doesnt know the vibe of suikoden. Teleporting to other villages takes in mid game you should recruit viki.

new suikoden🔥

love the game! but... no protagonists true runes or special lenses (or legendary power) is sad. soul-eater and bright shield runes were one of the things that made suikoden what it was meanwhile this game has lots of similarities from suikoden, but it manages to ignore or miss the one most important aspect of the game which are the ultimate powers.

On switch the performance was bad.. loading bfore battle 7 sec and after battle 4 sec... not worth to buy on switch

We want GOTY material

Shouldved been an 8.

get a different reviewer, this guy doesn’t game

Iyutan Chronicles

The one doing the review is a genshin impact player for sure🤣🤣🤣

7.0, really? For me it's 8.0

Like the old school Suikoden lol no one remembers all 100 plus characters haha 😂 classic

been watching this review for 4 minutes, didnt understant anything...

The game is a 10

Better than stellar blade

Konami punching the air right now 😂😂

u will try to censure this game too?

Nays

So boring prefer playing classic suikoden

9

Disappointing review. You not realizing that this was a modern day Suikoden is disappointing

Everyone complainong about the ign score but it is an identical score to the avergae user acore so stop complaining

less comfortable to play on PS4

why does ign love 7, disgusting

First

Thanks for the great review!

Most worst is ign 💀

This review proves that IGN didnt do its research about the game. They didnt even mention the creator who pass, the original suikoden, and the fast travel lol.
