Genso Suikogaiden Volume 1: Swordsman of Harmonia

Released2000
This is the first volume of the side-story to Konami's RPG series Suikoden. You play as Nash, a special agent of the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia's Southern Fringe Security Force. He was sent to the City States of Jowston with a mission: the Security Force has been informed that one of the 27 True Runes has appeared in Jowston. He has to verify the rumor and to bring back as much information as possible. On the way, Nash meets a mysterious woman named Sierra and soon gets involved in a large conflict featuring characters and events from the first and second Suikoden games. Unlike the "mainstream" Suikoden games, this is not a RPG, but a "digital novel". You read text and watch background images, at some points making a decision and leading the story to different paths.

About This Game

Nash Latkje is a Harmonian intelligence agent two days' travel from the city of Muse, escorting the self-centered Sierra Mikain against his preference. The problem: Sierra is his only lead on the True Runes he has been assigned by the Harmonian Southern Frontier Defense Force to investigate. The pairing continues regardless of how he feels about it. Along the road they encounter a Kobold family, a brief dispute over a wooden figurine, and a small moment of accidental goodwill before the journey presses on.
