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\.
