Review: Citizens of Earth (PC)

citizens of earth
When I first saw Citizens of Earth pop up on Kickstarter, I was cautious, but optimistic. It appeared that the title was aimed to draw from the classic SNES title EarthBound not only in writing, but in gameplay as well. While the game succeeds in parts, others either left me frustrated, or left me wanting more.

The big appeal of Citizens of Earth is that you can recruit almost every NPC to your cause, and boy, did Eden Industries accomplish that! Your party is incredibly fluid, and will see School Mascots, Conspiracy Theorists, hobos, and even your own mother joining the ranks. Each party member also grows in effectiveness the more you use them, which encourages experimentation. They also have talents that apply to overworld exploration, and these range from purchasing items, to fast travelling, or even re-battling old enemies.
