Citizens of Earth

SCORE: 62

The biggest RPG release of the year thus far has arrived. All the Daniel Bryan fans are screaming YES! YES! YES! because Atlus has released Citizens of Earth on the Personal Computer, Nintendo 3DS, Playstation Vita, Wii U, and Playstation 4. Sorry Xbox fanboys you got no love - at least not yet. But is this RPG any good for families?

Citizens of Earth is similar to the well known, and occasionally discussed Earthbound games. Family Friendly Gaming has asked for someone else to make a similar game for years now. Eden Industries and Atlus finally listened to our voice. To be fair Family Friendly Gaming Nation is probably not the only ones asking for this kind of a game.

In Citizens of Earth players take control of the Vice President (VP for short). He collects a team of up to three members at a time to fight for him. In fact he will tell you that you need to protect him. The VP in Citizens of Earth says many less than intelligent things just like the current VP Joe Biden. The VP in Citizens of Earth looks much younger though.

Along the way we find a variety of different characters we can recruit in Citizens of Earth. Some are better than others in certain areas, and against certain enemies. Others have really cool special abilities like the used car salesman - he lets us all in a car and drive on roads. Which shortens the time it takes to get places. The pilot is an even better character since she can take us to helicopter pads.

Parents need to be notified there is some off color humor in Citizens of Earth. There is also plenty of good, clean humor in Citizens of Earth. There are all kinds of strange and odd creatures in Citizens of Earth. There is also role playing violence, and the family destroyer gambling.

There is a crazy amount of customization in Citizens of Earth. We can make fights easier, or harder. We can swap around party members, we can change the time, weather, and more. Explore all over the maps in Citizens of Earth because you can get experience for looking at a painting.

Citizens of Earth is a downloadable only video game. Which is a shame because this is the kind of a video game that belongs on a disc/cartridge, and to be carried in retail chains. Citizens of Earth is safer than some of the role playing games on the market, and it brings its own unique flavor. Only for adults though.
