"Suikoden: Tenmei no Chikai" was released in Japan in 1988 and later in the US as "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.

A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.
