Kick back with some political kickbacks and get ready to grant a vice presidential pardon for whatever other responsibilities that might jeopardize free time, because Citizens of Earth is available to the earth constituency beginning today. The retro-inspired RPG from indie developer Eden Industries and published by ATLUS can be purchased on Steam, PlayStation®Network for PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®Vita, and the Nintendo eShop for Wii U™ and Nintendo 3DS™. The game is available for a base price of $14.99, and for a limited time can be purchased at a discount based on platform and territory.

Citizens of Earth pits players as the second-highest-paid bureaucrat in the land. The game begins just after winning a long, drawn-out candidacy, and the VP returns to his hometown for some taxpayer- funded rest and relaxation. But after just one night passes, the VP awakens to find the world gone berserk! As elected official he has two responsibilities: investigate what's caused people to go crazy... and delegate as much of the dirty work as possible. Citizens of Earth has 40 wacky citizens to recruit and send into battle!

The depth of content in Citizens of Earth means you can play a quick and casual adventure or a white-knuckle, pray-you-survive-until-the-next-turn grind-fest! The game is filled with hours of bonus content to explore, optional side-quests, and of course, citizens waiting to be recruited!

Citizens of Earth is a download-only title for the PS4, PS Vita, 3DS, Wii U and PC. Developed by Eden Industries and published by ATLUS. The game is rated E10+ by the ESRB.
