*Celestian Tales: Old North* has some distinctive *Suikoden* energies going on, and it is nearly funded [on Kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ekuatorgames/celestian-tales-old-north-redefining-the-classic-r?ref=killscreen.com) after only a week. Put those two facts together and you arrive at the actuality that a whole lot of people still love their grand pastoral adventures about semi-authentic ancient Asian dynasties.

And for good reason. Along with *Lunar* and *Chrono Cross*, *Suikoden* belonged to that legendary crop of Japanese RPGs for PlayStation that rode the anime invasion of the ‘90s to a cult following. Yet the series unravelled due to Konami being Konami: Later iterations failed to ignite the same passion. The series got mixed up in tactics. *Suikoden Tierkreis* on DS left vets wanting. I hear there is a *Suikoden* pachinko machine in Japan.

Given the dire circumstances, *Celestian Tales* looks like a bet worth taking. Made by a small team from Indonesia, it looks gorgeous, with digitized watercolor graphics, fluidly animated characters, plenty of old-school RPG-ing, and best of all, from the logo to the pastures to the art, it’s a clearly loving homage to *Suikoden*. Looks like this one is destiny.
