Konami Ships Suikoden Tactics For Playstation
2

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – November 8, 2005 – Konami
Digital Entertainment – America, a division of Konami Digital Entertainment,
Inc., today announced that Suikoden Tactics™ for the PlayStation®2 computer
entertainment system has shipped to retail stores nationwide. Suikoden Tactics
is the first game in the acclaimed role playing based series that includes
turn-based strategy and simulation elements. Following the adventures of a new
hero, Kyril, the game allows players to experience this unique Suikoden universe
in an all-new way. As an added bonus, packaged with the first run of Suikoden
Tactics will be a limited edition music soundtrack CD-ROM featuring re-arranged
tracks from the complete Suikoden franchise.

A truly sweeping and epic adventure set in
beautifully rendered 3D environments, Suikoden Tactics thrusts players into the
shoes of a young adventurer investigating the sudden appearance of hideous
creatures in the Island Nations. While progressing through the game, players
will encounter a cast of over 70 characters and will be able to bring over 50 of
them into battle, including many familiar faces from past Suikoden games as well
as well as characters that are new to the series. Throughout the game, they will
gain new perspective on the events of Suikoden IV as well as uncover the dark,
troubling secrets of the Rune Cannon.

Featuring more than 25 intense battle scenarios,
Suikoden Tactics requires players to master innovative fighting systems. By
merging the abilities of numerous characters with the ‘Combination Attack
System,’ players can maximize the strength of their party and use those
heightened skills to dominate their enemies on the battlefield. The game also
features a ‘Ground Elemental System,’ where the ground itself contains the power
of the elements, such as earth, wind, water, fire and lightning. Players can use
these elements during battle for healing, inflicting damage to enemies,
increasing your characters’ stats or decreasing your enemies’ stats. These
abilities add a new level of strategy to the game as well as provide players a
way to gain a tactical advantage during battle. In addition, newly added menus
allow players to modify and improve their characters’ skills, tailor their
equipment and upgrade their weapons to fully customize their team members
throughout the game – making their troops a force to be reckoned with!

Suikoden Tactics is rated “T” for teens by the
ESRB and will be available for an SRP of $39.99. For more information, please
