Busting out the conspiracy guy let s play citizens of earth gameplay part 1
Gameplay
Citizens of Earth has been described as "a giant spoof on EarthBound" in which "you must collect your constituents like Pokémon". In it, you take the role of the newly elected Vice President of Earth, who begins his first day in office facing protestors, a missing President, and a suspicious coffee shop. As the game progresses, characters are added to the party, each with a unique title and personality, like Hippie Guy and Programmer.
Enemies are strewn about the overworld map, and should the Vice President get too close, a separate battle screen will open up. He doesn't do any fighting himself, but instead gives commands to his party of up to three characters.
Reception
Meghan Sullivan of IGN gave the game a 6.5/10, saying "It charmed me with its blend of old-school RPG and contemporary satire, but nearly lost my vote with its sluggish pacing, irritatingly high enemy encounter rate, and crashes".
Nintendo 3DS Homebrew Exploit
On May 9, 2016, a 3DS homebrew exploit was released using the 3DS eShop version of Citizens of Earth called Humblehax. When installed, the exploit automatically loads the Homebrew Launcher or other unsigned code when the save file for the game in Slot 3 is parsed during the initial loading of the game. The exploit must be installed to the game's save file using an installer that can be run through the Homebrew Launcher, and as such is considered to be a secondary exploit. This exploit was released on the last day the Nintendo Humble Bundle was available for sale, where Citizens of Earth was available for a much lower price than normal. As a result of this exploit, the game was removed from the Nintendo eShop just a few days later on May 14, 2016. This removal proved problematic, as some users that recently purchased the game in the Nintendo Humble Bundle had not yet redeemed the game and as such could not play it. The game returned on July 31, 2016.
