A humorous RPG game in which we take on the role of Earth's Ambassador. He travels across the globe, confronts threats and recruits title citizens. All to find the Blue Planet that... went missing without a word.

To be sure, the game oozes with creativity at nearly every turn. But it takes a risk in going with a story focused primarily on humor, which unfortunately doesn't pay off, and is instead overburdened with mostly predictable punchlines and tired, overused phrases.

really wished that all the things that Citizens of Space does well weren’t attached to a game that is so… in your face. It borders on obnoxious but keeps the annoying line repeats and the length of time to get anywhere just under the bar of annoying. It did, however, prevent me from being able to play for a big chunk of time and it sucked a lot of the fun out of the well-done aspects of the game.

An unfortunate failure to launch that suffers under the weight of its well-intended gameplay.
Citizens of Space Description
Citizens of Space is a continuation of the humorous 2015 RPG titled Citizens of Earth. The devs of the original, Eden Industries, are responsible for the development of the title.
Plot
The main character of the game is the new Earth Ambassador to the Galactic Federation of Planets. On his first day in his new position, the protagonist has to face a real problem - his homeworld disappeared without a trace. There is nothing left for our character but to find the perpetrators of all the confusion and bring Earth to its place, otherwise, he can kiss his new job goodbye.
Mechanics
In Citizens of Space, the action is shown from bird's eye view. As we play, we travel across the surfaces of different planets, differentiated in terms of appearance and the creatures that inhabit them, as well as the dangers lurking in wait for the Ambassador. Just like in the first installment of the series, the hero is not alone, because during the adventure he recruits the title Citizens. There are forty characters, each of them equipped with individual weapons and skills. Combat also plays an important role here, both against smaller adversaries and the much more powerful bosses. Although the clashes take place in turn-based mode, they are based on dynamic mini-games checking our reflexes and dexterity. As we move forward, we develop the Ambassador and Citizens, thereby increasing their combat potential.
Technical aspects
Visuals of Citizens of Space adopt the colorful, cartoonish style known from the original.
