Konami released a new trailer for Suikoden: Star Leap, introducing the mobile RPG’s battle system. The official website for Suikoden: Star Leap also reveals some new details on what fans can expect from the battle system.
Here’s an overview of the game’s battle system, along with the trailer:
-
- Normal Battle – This game employs a timeline turn based battle system. A highly strategic battle in which players choose from three types of actions: normal attacks, runes and special techniques to fight together with their allies.
- War mode – A real-time strategy system in which both enemies and allies units move simultaneously. Command your troops and lead them to victory while keeping an eye on the situation.
- Party edit – Up to six players can be set in the front and back rows. Characters from previous numbered titles in the Suikoden series can also be used.
Suikoden: Star Leap is coming soon to Android, iOS, and PC via Steam. The new game features gacha elements and events, but the new title retains the Suikoden franchise’s signature combat system. Out of 108 stars, players can assemble a “dream team” of their favorite Suikoden heroes for battle.
Aki Shimizu, the manga author for the Suikoden III manga, returns to work on an official Suikoden: Star Leap manga series. Shimizu is also currently working on The Mononoke Lecture Logs of Chuzenji-sensei series, with 10 volumes released so far.
The latest entry in the series, Suikoden I & II HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars, came to Nintendo Switch 2 on launch day, June 5, as a game-key card title. This means the physical game card doesn’t contain game data and data must downloaded via the internet once inserted the first time into the system.
