It’s wild to see Suikoden making a comeback with both an anime and a mobile game—talk about a nostalgia trip with a modern twist While the anime has me hyped to relive Suikoden 2’s epic story, the gacha mechanics in Star Leap feel like a risky gamble for a series known for its deep, meaningful character connections.

It's awesome to see Suikoden getting some love after all these years, though the gacha mechanics in Star Leap might be a tough sell for fans who cherish the series' classic RPG roots. Still, the anime and remasters are a solid win, especially for those of us who’ve been waiting to dive back into that rich, character-driven world.
