Bandit Kings of Ancient China is a turn-based strategy role-playing simulation game developed and published by Koei for MS-DOS, the Amiga, and the Apple II. It was well-received at its inception, and was considered to be a significant step forward in the complexity of strategy gaming.
To commemorate Kou Shibusawa's 35th anniversary, the "Kou Shibusawa Archives" will be opened in the Steam Store. Here we will revive popular previously released titles.
In this third round of releases we offer "Suikoden: Tenmei no Chikai," which was released outside of Japan under the name "Bandit Kings of Ancient China".
It is a simulation game based on the novel "Suikoden" or "Water Margin," a Chinese classic. Players play as a bandit being pursued by imperial officers. You gather together a band of heroes, warriors, and magic using beauties, and campaign against Gaoqiu, the evil minister causing the downfall of the Song Empire.
