First off let me start off by saying I never played any games in the mother series. So my reactions to this are fresh. Now I've been praising this game all summer long, so time to give it an honest review. Citizens of Earth Story: 10/10 This story is great on how hilarious and absurd it is. The dialogue is Miiverse Gold, and the voice acting really brings it home. Essentially After winning the Election, the vice president of earth decides to take a vacation only to find out there are many weird things happening around town. Coffee beans just walking around, deer with phones for antlers, bears made of honey, and protesters actually disagreeing with his policies. He decides to recruit many citizens to get to the bottom of it all. While I loved the story, I was disappointed by how it concluded. To me it seemed like it was a conspiracy. That if I paid attention to the clues I could figure out what was going on. But nope, they throw you a curb ball at the end. Something you couldn't have foreseeen. STill it was great. Gameplay: 8/10 It's your basic RPG. You walk around, grind for EXP, recruit warrior, etc. It's a simple formula and it works. The game mainly follows missions. And there are plenty at any given time. You have your story missions, your recruitment missions, your side missions, etc. Always plenty to do. Also the citizens have special abilities that you can level up thru grinding. So you will do that alot.Level Design: 7/10 So the art style in the game is beautiful. And the story missions are all quirky and hilarious. It's hard not to love them or appreciate how different they are. Characters: 10/10 A lot of characters in this game, each with their own unique personalities. I can't mention them all so I'll focus on the Vice President. The VP seems to believe he is God's gift to mankind. He acts as if everyone loves him and couldn't possibly dislike him. He is lazy yet has no shame in having others work for him. A coward yet hides behind people. While it may sound like he is a horrible person, he actually isn't. He is just a politician, a good one at that. Music: 8/10 The music is great, not perfect but still up there. It's quirky, I use that word alot when describing this game, upbeat, and really just feels like gaming music. Bosses: 10/10 The bosses in this game are definitely unique. From your Coffee Pot headed managers, to your Reggae Dj's, to my Bae the "Cookie Colossus". They not only pose a challenge but they are awesome to fight, having their own unique style of fighting, and interesting weaknesses. Abilities: 9/10Well each citizen has an ability, and there are 40 citizens, so yeah there are many. So here are a few. Verbal Accusations, Wrestling, Lecturing, Oven Mitts, pepper spray, posion ivy, cpr, Cheering, etc. Essentially your abilities are every day things. Replay Value: 8/10 The game is great and funny and I loved it. I want to play it again and again. And I can since there is a New Game + mode... which I can't figure out how to start it. None the less I can just start over from the normal mode and relive it al again. ![]() Overall: 10/10 The game is refreshing. the whole time I was going thru it I loved the story and game mechanics. It's a wonderful experience and I can see why the mother series is so endearing. The people in the game feel like real people. The nonsense is lulz worthy. And I wish the game was longer so I could keep it going. I definitely look forward to a sequel. ![]() Edited by Greymon57, Sep 15 2016, 12:50 PM.

I've been tempted to try out this game a few times, mostly due to missing Mother. I guess i'll try it out one of these days. |
