The console systems growing up were always out of reach for my family, so when I was introduced to emulation in college, I dove in. Suikoden was one of the earliest ones I played, and I loved it. I didn't care my system was a potato, or that the game was about 10 years old at the time. I was hooked by the story, the feeling of actual progress, and the ability to create my own fighting team out of numerous combinations. I could effectively tell my own story and make my own decisions in a world that changed around me. After I finished this game, I DEVOURED the second one. Then came the third game, and the potato issues finally caught up. But I will always remember being the nobody who became somebody and chose to go back to being a nobody because he wasn't needed anymore.
Suikoden was the game that opened the door to a whole new world for me. It wasn’t just my first RPG—it ignited my passion for JRPGs and changed how I view both gaming and storytelling.
Before Suikoden, I had no idea how deep and immersive video games could be. I’d played other genres, but nothing had captivated me like this. The intricate political plots, the power struggles, and the compelling characters with their own fears, dreams, and motivations drew me into a world that felt alive.
What hit me hardest was the concept of the 108 Stars of Destiny. The idea of recruiting a diverse group of heroes, each with their own unique backstory, gave me a sense of ownership over the narrative. It wasn’t just about controlling a few characters; it was about building a team and forming emotional bonds with them. Every choice mattered, making Suikoden feel like a living, breathing world.
The turn-based combat also left a lasting impact. It was strategic but never overwhelming—each move carefully planned. As I recruited more Stars of Destiny, I realized that battles weren’t just about winning; they were about teamwork and understanding how different strengths complemented each other.
Suikoden also opened my eyes to the power of interactive storytelling. The decisions I made in the game shaped the world around me, and that sense of agency was thrilling. Since then, it’s been my gateway to other JRPGs, from Final Fantasy to Chrono Trigger. These games built on what Suikoden taught me about depth, character, and emotional storytelling.
Looking back, Suikoden shaped the gamer I am today. It wasn’t just entertainment—it expanded my horizons and changed how I experience stories, both in games and in life.

Shogun: Total WarSet against the backdrop of the Sengoku Jidai (Warring States) period from the 15th to the beginning of the 17th century, Shogun: Total War is a real-time tactics and turn-based strategy game with a strong focus on historical authenticity.
Players assume control of a daimyo (leader) of a contemporary Japanese clan and attempt to conquer the nation and claim the title of supreme Shogun, the undisputed military ruler of Japan. The gameplay consist of two parts – a turn-based Risk-style mode on a 2D campaign map of Japan where the player must recruit, manage and move their armies, conduct diplomacy, trade, espionage, sabotage and assassinations.
This 2D map however ultimately serves to provide context for the 3D real-time battles that make up the main part of the game and occur whenever your army crosses into enemy territory or two opposing forces meet on the campaign map.Historical Warfare
Rome: Total WarSet during the rule of the late Roman Republic and the early Roman Empire, Rome: Total War is a real-time tactics and turn-based strategy game that takes place across Europe, North Africa and the Near East. The player assumes control of one of three Roman families with eight other factions playable outside the main campaign. The main goal of the campaign is to become emperor of Rome by conquering fifty provinces with the support of the people before capturing Rome itself although a short campaign is also available wherein success depends on besting other factions in a race to seize control of 15 provinces.Historical Warfare
Medieval: Total WarExperience the middle Ages in all their blood-soaked magnificence. From the lush grasslands of Western Europe to the arid deserts of Northern Africa, from the first Crusade to the fall of Constantinople, implement diplomacy, utilize trade, espionage and assassinations, spread your religion and wage total war in order to expand your influence and secure your reign as you build a dynastic empire to stretch across four centuries.
Total War is the follow on from 2000’s Shogun- Total War. As with Shogun the game is split into two sections – the turn-based campaign map wherein the player is required to make strategic decisions, recruit and move armies, besiege settlements, fight naval battles and employ agents such as emissaries, spies and assassins to aid with diplomacy, offer alliances or bribes, or execute rather more clandestine actions.
Religion is important in the game and whether a faction is Muslim, Orthodox or Christian will affect allegiances and public loyalty – as a catholic nation the player must carry out the wishes of the Papal States, embarking on a holy war if need be or else run the risk of excommunication. If public order and loyalty should fall too low in a particular region a rebellion or a civil war may occur – in these situations the player may decide to side with the rebels or the current rulers to quell the rebellion or overthrow a tyrannous regime-Fantasy Historical Warfare 4X (explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate)
