Gensou Suikoden - Card Stories ROM

Genso Suikoden Card Stories

Step into the captivating world of the Suikoden universe with Genso Suikoden Card Stories, a dynamic spin-off by Konami that blends strategic card battles with beloved franchise lore. Released in fall 2001 for the Game Boy Advance and as a collectible card game in Japan, this title offers a fresh twist on the classic saga.

Set three years after the epic events of Suikoden II, the story centers around the invasion of the City-States of Jowston by the Kingdom of Highland. You play as a silent protagonist—whose name you choose—adopted son of the legendary hero Genkaku, who once led Jowston’s defenses against Highland. While the narrative echoes the familiar storyline, the focus shifts from traditional battles to intense card-based combat.

In this game, battles unfold through strategic card duels featuring iconic characters from both Suikoden and Suikoden II, with some cards showcasing future characters from Suikoden III. Unlike other entries in the series, where storytelling drives gameplay, Genso Suikoden Card Stories emphasizes the thrill of card battles, offering a unique and engaging experience for fans and newcomers alike.
