Citizens of Space

If you enjoyed citizens of earth you will enjoy this, it uses a paper mario styled combat system instead of earthbound, but all the other mechanics are similar to CoE, honestly the game has a few bugs that need to be ironed out, using the overlay at all causes the game to crash and the game will randomly freeze for up to 10 seconds, if you can deal with this then its worth it, if not then wait for a fix.

I was a bit worried to purchase this game after seeing a few reviews that mentioned crashes and hangs. I don't own a powerful gaming computer so I was a bit apprehensive at first. Well, after playing it over an hour I must say, this is one of the first games that I actually plan to finish. Not one freeze up, not one crash, no blacked out areas, no need to update my graphics driver. I must just be lucky, right? Anyhow, I love the story, the sometimes corny and sometimes deeper humor, the perfect blend of casual play and slowly growing intensity of the mini-games and battles, the ability to bypass or redo tutorials is very helpful, the game controls are easy to pick up, the learning curve is perfect for me, the animations and voice-overs are top notch! I must find out who voices the Janitor!

First of all, erase the concepts that this is in fact a direct sequel to Citizens of Earth. In many ways, it continues along the story; but the systems to play this game are vastly different. They have evolved from their Earthbound-based battle system into something from say Super Mario RPG from the SNES era or Paper Mario from the N64. It is a bunch of minigames for abilities that is mixed with timed QTE events for reducing damage. In that aspect, this game shines and at the same time can be it's downside as some of the minigames are quite tedious. You will find yourself not as much button mashing but wishing your timing was a bit better on some of the heavier costing abilities which consume energy, health, and other various things.
Next we have the story; which is actually pretty good. I am about a quarter way into the actual game {I have done a lot of side quests so far}; and am noticing a lot of the stories between the citizens are intertwined quite well into the main plot. This however does fall flat when certain abilities for the Citizens feel redundant in and out of combat since combat is the main stage of this game as you find out when you play.
Finally, the music and voiceover work is quite excellent; and I do find myself listening to certain tunes over and over just because they're catchy. The Citizen that can change music also allows you to enjoy certain backgrounds over and over if you do not like the one you are listening to, eventually permanently.
Now the negatives of the game, which needs to be stated. The current version is slightly buggy. Certain folks are experiencing random crashes, talents from Citizens unable to be utilized, or various sudden stops for quest lines. I have experienced some of the second, but overall the game has worked quite fine on my machine besides that. I recommend this game with a 4.5 out of 5 Waddles. Get it now before the price goes up.

Bloody marvellous!!! \o/
It's an absolute crime that this game has gone so unnoticed by the gaming populace, with so little games media coverage and a barren, empty, forum... because it is excellent! So much charm and character, the game is superior to the prequel - Citizens of Earth - in every conceivable manner :) Gorgeous, cute, artwork.. great voice acting.. enjoyable music (Robot Rumble is <3) with a fantastic battle system :) I truly enjoy the way the developers have revamped the "Recruit Citizens" aspect of the game, splitting them into three distinct categories rather than having 40 different party members.
Summons: These citizens are called into battle to unleash powerful attacks or heals.
Partners: These citizens your Combat citizens by adding to their stats and skill lists.
Combat: These are the main party members, the ones you'll outfit with new gear and the ones you'll take into battle ^_^
Truly a mightily enjoyable game (though eghhhhhh... super not keen on the whole "Trump is President of Earth and spends his time golfing" stuff, it's silly.. that kind of modern day politics/gags just date the game and force a particular political leaning, but oh well) and I hope the developers were as proud of this as I was entertained \o/

A delightful, charming JRPG with big bouncy colorful characters. The combat is interactive, unlike the JRPGs of old, more like Stick of Truth. The voice acting of the main character is very good. I like the quests to recruit additional characters to the roster. It makes talking to NPCs interesting because you never know who you can get to join your party!

Citizens of Space has the aesthetic charms of games like Earthbound, Cuphead, and Broken Age - but way better looking than Broken Age. I am still playing through on Steam and have played extensively on Switch as well and am thoroughly enjoying Citizens of Space! This is the sequel to Citizens of Earth we have all been waiting for and has a lot of improvements to the game as well over its predecessor. The graphics are unique and fresh and give a new take on the RPG genre with unique party members, and really fun mini-games. The quips are hilarious, and the ambassador is both charming, and fun to play as with earth-wise implications at hand. Don't sleep on this one! I have been having a really good time with this, and I know you will too if you give it a chance! I haven't experienced any technical issues that some other players are reporting. This game is awesome, and you should be playing too!

A sequel to Citizens of Earth, Citizens of Space is a gem of a game for those that liked CoE. A lot of the gameplay is similar to Citizens of Earth, with turn based combat and enemies visible on the map. The mini games to recruit characters are varied, just as in Citizens of Earth. The only downside to this game is the mini games that you have in combat. Those can get repetetive quickly, however given that the mini games are specific to characters, you can actually tailor your party to the characters whose mini games you like or are good at.
