Citizens of Earth has had an interesting life, despite the fact that it's flown under our radar on RPGFan. Let us try and make up for our neglect with a sizable gallery debut, including the title's three trailers. We'll start with the teaser trailer:
Developer Eden Industries summarizes the idea behind Citizens of Earth best:
They describe their game as "EarthBound meets Pokémon/Suikoden," and while it's too easy for developers to claim their game is "like X", the offbeat and wacky characters are clearly in the vein of Nintendo's EarthBound/Mother series. Given that Mother 3 is... well, you know, Citizens of Earth might fill that need in our lives for a silly hand-drawn RPG with a sense of humor in a modern setting. Next up, the E3 2014 trailer:
Citizens of Earth might never have come to be: Eden Industries ran a Kickstarter campaign in the fall of 2013 that fell far short of its $100,000 CAD goal. Thankfully, Atlus stepped in to help, and will be publishing the game this fall. Not bad for a 'failed' campaign! Let's look at the latest video, that shows the Vice President recruiting several citizens to his party.
If you're still not convinced, then I have one last thing that should do the trick: a gallery of images. And here to introduce them is a deer with a telephone receiver resting on its antlers:
Come on, how can you say no to that face? Citizens of Earth is coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, and PC this November for $14.99 USD.
