Overall, however, Citizens of Earth is a fun throwback to one of the most popular genres in gaming history at a time when it was really developing. Players may also find that the actual gameplay and what actions they’re to take are at times unclear. Some may find this whole introduction to the game to be a real distraction from the game’s primary gameplay. You start out recruiting characters to play, and this requires completing all sorts of challenges. The drawbacks to the game are really about the sometimes sluggish nature of the gameplay. As for the sound, the music will have you feeling like you’ve gone back in time and you’re literally playing a 90s RPG with its blaring music in the background.
Many of the images pay homage to Earthbound. The graphics, although heavily updated for the PS4, are definitely reminiscent of a 90s RPG with bright and colorful images throughout. And unlike some of the RPG games of the 90s, you won’t be abruptly forced into combat as you’re traveling the game world. You’ll want to form your teams based upon which characters have the skills you’ll need in combat against a particular enemy. Some skills drain energy faster than others, and there are some skills in the game that help you increase your energy level. The battle sequences us a counter system, which means that you’ll need to keep a close eye on your energy level in the midst of combat. Remember that every character has a unique set of skills, so you’ll want to think through what skills you’ll need in a battle against an enemy. As VP, you call the shots when it comes to your characters, but you’re limited in that you can only take three characters with you at a time. The battle sequences are interesting and require a certain level of strategy. With over 40 possible characters, you can recruit a pilot, a musician, a baker, and many others. Each of the characters you can recruit has a unique set of skills that will come in handy during the battle sequences of the game.
The process of recruiting requires several challenges that, again, are reminiscent of 90s RPGs. Instead of going into battle, you recruit other characters throughout the game. But, of course, you’re a politician, and politicians don’t typically go into battle themselves because if the leader of a government dies in battle, the whole earth is left in confusion and turmoil. Now that you’re there, you see how pervasive problems are in the world, and as the leader of the game, it’s your responsibility to right the wrongs of the world. In the game, you are the vice president of the world, and you’ve fought hard to achieve your powerful position. More specifically, the game heavily borrows from the RPG classic Earthbound. Players who remember playing the old-school RPGs on SNES like the early Final Fantasy games will recognize some of the same gameplay features in Citizens of Earth. Citizens of Earth for the Playstation 4 lays like a game fitted for the 16-bit Super Nintendo system, having been developed with this retro feel in mind by independent developer Eden Industries.
