    As an adventure that does just about everything right in the fun and technical sense, CoE's most valuable triumphs are its sense of humour and accessibility; whether you’re politically knowledgeable or oblivious, and if you have a near-romantic relationship with turn-based RPGs, you will risk yawning through a filibuster if it means becoming the Vice President of this world.

    The game’s greatest attributes are its humor and its fresh take on traditional RPG elements.

    Despite some of these issues, I still found Citizens of Earth to be largely enjoyable, and it does a solid job of capturing that 16-bit RPG feel the developers were clearly going for.

    Citizens of Earth has a good balance of humor, old-school RPG, and solid turn-based mechanics.

    A nice homage to Earthbound and so many other brilliant 16 bit-RPGs.

    A quirky game with its heart in the right place and its head in the clouds.

    The glaucoma-inducing choice of interface and the stretching of space and gameplay time beyond the point of breaking make this a hard game to broadly recommend. This would have been one hell of a 6-hour jaunt, but at upward of 20 hours for a basic playthrough, the amount of fluff is suffocating.

    I don't know why critics are destroying this game. The best advice I can give you is that the demo plays JUST like the full game, so if youI don't know why critics are destroying this game. The best advice I can give you is that the demo plays JUST like the full game, so if you enjoyed the demo then you definitely need to buy it!

    Yes, there are striking similarities to EarthBound but Citizens of Earth really manages to create its own niche. The entire game is a big joke, not taking itself too seriously. If you are buying this because you thought it was going to be a modern day EarthBound then of course you are not going to like it.

    When you start playing Citizens of Earth leave your preconceived notions at the door and don't take the game too seriously. If you're not laughing while playing, you're doing something wrong.    … Expand
