Release Date: March 6, 2025
Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars is a set of remastered versions of two classic jRPGs originally released for the first generation PlayStation console.
Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars is a collection of refreshed versions of the first two installments of the popular jRPG series.
The action takes place in a fantasy land slightly enriched with elements from Chinese mythology. The first part tells the story of a teenager named Tir McDohl, who is the son of a general in the Scarlet Moon Empire. When his father goes on a war campaign against the rebels, the hero, along with his servants and best friend, enters a military academy. While serving this institution, he comes into possession of a magical rune sought by corrupt mighty men and a court sorceress. The young man is forced to save himself by fleeing and joins the rebels.
The action of Suikoden II begins some time after the events of the first part. The plot of the game focuses on the conflict between the Highland Kingdom and the city-state of Jowston. The main character is a soldier of the former nation, who, together with a friend, discovers a conspiracy to torpedo peace talks and prolong the war.
Both games included in Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars are classic jRPGs. While playing, we explore the world, complete quests, develop characters and fight battles.
Skirmishes are played in a turn-based system and during them we give orders to a team of heroes. Both parts of the series allow you to recruit more than a hundred characters, each with unique abilities and equipment. An important role is played by developing relationships with these comrades-in-arms, which is done by completing side missions assigned to them.
In addition to the standard skirmishes in the campaign, we also encounter two additional types of clashes - special battles based on the rules of the game "paper, scissors, stone", as well as strategic battles of entire armies, involving troops assigned to different heroes. Death in those clashes results in the removal of the character in question permanently from our team.
The game offers a single player mode only.
Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars features heavily improved graphics. All background illustrations have been redesigned. Visual effects have also been improved. In addition, the music has been remastered and useful features have been introduced to the gameplay, such as accelerating the course of battles, a logbook with records of conversations and an automatic game state saving system.

Game Ratings for Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars Video Game.
Multiplayer First: 9.5 / 10 by James Lara
At the end of the day, the remasters are exactly what you'd hope for out of a graphical update that remains faithful to the original releases. They are the definitive way to play through them, especially if you've never played through them before. Sure, I would have loved to see just a bit more in terms of enhancements and new features when it comes to some of the gameplay elements and options. Still, this is a splendid collection that retains everything I loved about the originals, though now with a shinier coat of paint that makes it feel fresh and exciting to revisit. I can't think of a better way to reexperience these gems of a masterpiece, and though I don't feel as fondly for the latter iterations, I do hope this remaster paves the way for more collections in the series.
Use a Potion: 9 / 10
Suikoden I & II HD Remaster successfully brings two beloved RPG classics into the modern era without losing the heart of what made them special in the first place. The emotional and politically charged stories, the satisfyingly strategic combat across turn-based battling, large-scale army battles, and duels, and the rewarding character recruitment all remain as engaging as ever, whilst the visual upgrades enhance the experience without sacrificing its nostalgic charm. The quality-of-life enhancements help make the game more accessible and streamlined too, though be warned: the auto-save isn’t quite as reliable as you might think. For longtime fans, it’s a welcome trip down memory lane, and for newcomers, it’s a chance to discover two of the most special RPGs of their time. Suikoden I & II HD Remaster has reminded me why I loved the games so much in the first place, and it feels really special seeing them getting the love and care that they deserve in this wonderful remastered release.
Niche Gamer: 10 / 10 by Throgmorton Belmont
The Suikoden games often go out of their way to do these things, and that’s the kind of grit I miss from the genre. This is a fantastic remaster for Suikoden I and II, which are two of the greatest JRPGs ever made. The stars shine bright in this franchise, and I hope to see Suikoden III make a return now after this incredible change of events.
