While not a bad game, parts of it simply don't live up to its mainline predecessors.

The idea of the Stars of Destiny being spread throughout time is a cool idea, but the execution left a lot to be desired. With multiple stars not even being seen at all throughout the game, it's disappointing. The game is also a bit slower-paced and easier than other Suikoden titles.

Still, it's a perfectly serviceable game with some interesting moments, especially in the story.
