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.

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.
Wccftech: 9 / 10 by Francesco De Meo
Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars is an excellent update to the first two entries in the series, enhancing their timeless appeal with improved visuals that breathe new life into the Scarlet Moon Empire and the City-States of Jowstone, along with an improved English localization. While a few additional quality-of-life features would have been welcome, the excellent, thought-provoking stories and charming cast make this collection a must-have for both newcomers and longtime fans. It took decades for Suikoden to make a proper return, but Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars was well worth the long wait.
Worth Playing: 9 / 10 by Chris "Atom" DeAngelus
Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune & Dunan Unification Wars is an excellent updated port of two great games. Almost all of the changes are for the better, the translation is massively improved, and it still maintains all of the charm and flavor of the original games. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to the franchise, there's genuinely no better place to start than the Suikoden I & II HD Remaster. Even if you're just a fan of RPGs, it's well worth a try, if only to see what all the hype is about.
