Konami today announced the Spring release of Suikoden Tierkreis, the latest in the popular RPG series, whose previous iterations have mostly been on PlayStation consoles.

It seems there’s a wealth of characters to choose from, with the DS game containing 108 characters, all of whom function independently within the game world, but can be recruited to your four-man party. Each of these characters has a complete backstory, and these are revealed as your progress through the game. It has a traditional turn-based battle system, so hardcore JRPG fans will have a fair idea what to expect.

One particularly interesting feature is the ability to wirelessly assist other players - through the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, you can send your character to another gamer’s world to tackle missions, in return for cash and special items which can then be brought back into your own universe.

Suikoden Tierkreis is released in Europe in March 2009.
