''Suikoden Tactics'' (released as ''Rhapsodia'' in Japan) is a GaidenGame in the ''VideoGame/{{Suikoden}}'' series and a sequel to ''Videogame/SuikodenIV''. The game tells the story of Kyril, the son of a Scarlet Moon officer, as he investigates and uncovers a massive conspiracy revolving around Rune Cannons. A complex web of political intrigue, rebellion, insurrection and a dying empire is further complicated by other agents of the Scarlet Moon with their own priorities regarding Kooluk and the Rune Cannons.

* TakeYourTime: Despite the game having a calendar system, and that it takes many days to traverse from one place to another, no one ages and nothing about the plot changes. There is also a Quest Guild in Middleport, where you can deploy some members to do a quest, which can last up to 30 days.
