Citizens of Earth you must check this out!
Citizens of Earth is one lovable retro inspired RPG that I can not wait to play more of.
The premise is, you just got elected the vice-president of the world, you return home for a little rest and relaxation. Your first objective in the Demo/Game is to go get some coffee, once you leave your house you are greeted by protesters who are not happy about you being elected. This is where the game gives you a glimpse of the battle system in the game.
The Battles in Citizens of Earth are turn-based, similar to games like Earthbound, and Pokemon. Each character in your party has it's own strengths. The two characters the game starts you off with is you Brother, and your Mom. The brother character is overall an attack focused character, he has strong attacks and will be your go to character in this demo, the mother character is more of a support class who can help restore health, as well offer advice, and the ability to view enemies stats. This is an excellent way to play. I have always been a big fan of turn-based roll-playing games. Now the reason why I choose to compare the game to Earthbound and Pokemon, The game feels like Earthbound in every way. The game puts you in a non-traditional setting for an RPG. I love this, you feel like you can relate to the characters and setting, and the game has tons of humorous moments. Now for the reason I chose to compare the game with Pokemon. You play as the Vice-President but you never actually battle with him instead you recruit every day people to fight your battles for you. This really brings the vibe of being like a Trainer in Pokemon, each character you pick up will have their own perks and weaknesses.
The voice acting in the game is top of the line, it also helps that the writing in the game is brilliant, you will laugh over and over at the stuff people say or what you will discover by looking at book cases and painting through out the level. The controls are also very simple to pick up and just play the game. If you played any old school RPG you pretty much know what to expect. The graphics are what first drew me to the game. I saw the trailer and something just clicked in my brain, saying "you must play me, do it right now!" I am so glad that I listened. The characters all look great and have a cartoon feel to them. Also lots of bright colors, I am so happy to see a game that isn't obsessed with the color brown.
The demo will take you around 25 minutes to an hour to run through.It will all come down to how thorough you want to be in searching the environment. I posted my play through of the demo up top if you want to check the game out. I strongly encourage you to pick up the game. Citizens of Earth was released on Jan 20th and is available for the Nintendo 3DS, WiiU, PC (Steam), the PlayStation 4, and the PlayStation Vita. I picked up the PS4, and the Vita versions of the game. Sadly no cross-buy or cross-save options were available which is the only negative I can really say so far.
In conclusion I loved this demo it gives you enough content to really get a feel of the game, and the type of humor developer Eden Industries were going for. I am currently about 4 hours into the full game, and I am still very much loving it. Citizens of Earth is a love letter to the game Earthbound but I am totally okay with that. Pick this one up.
