Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster review

System: Switch
Release date: March 6, 2025
Developer: Konami
Publisher: Konami


Konami’s Suikoden series is not only much-lauded for players of turn-based RPGs, but boastfully comprises a total of eleven games, with five of those being mainline titles and the rest being considered spin-offs. With the original Suikoden hitting the PlayStation back in December of 1996 here in the west, it was a time where RPGs could sometimes be hard to find, with pre-orders being a common way for gamers to assure they’d get to have their own copy rather than being a dirty rental peasant like myself. This resulted in the title being mostly overlooked at the time, but having gathered a bit of a cult following since gaining more traction as subsequent titles joined the roster. Teased originally for a 2023 release, after a delay the first two mainline entries in the series will be available for players on modern consoles with Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars – so if you slept on Suikoden before, or haven’t heard of the series this is a very good time for you to see an example of the golden ages of turn-based RPGs.

Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars is almost here, and Konami is gearing up for the launch with a new trailer. The pair of RPGs released way back of the day are now making a comeback with updated visuals, improved gameplay, and more.
