Citizens of Space

About

Citizens of Space casts you as a rookie ambassador tasked with tracking down a missing Earth amid a galaxy indifferent to your plight. Balance diplomacy, resource gathering, and turn-based combat to recruit alien allies and figure out the mystery. The game leans into its bureaucratic satire, letting you negotiate treaties, manage crew dynamics, and tackle challenges through dialogue trees or direct conflict. Exploration unfolds across diverse star systems, each with unique NPCs and environmental puzzles. The game’s sharp humor and absurdist take on intergalactic politics set it apart, blending strategic depth with quirky character interactions. Players appreciate the mix of management and narrative-driven quests, though its 2019 release means it’s best suited for those seeking a less mainstream RPG experience. Available on PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox One, and Switch, it offers a niche but rewarding mix of strategy and sci-fi wit.

As you step into the hallowed halls of the Galactic Federation Assembly and give your opening speech, something seems off...no it's not the smell of the Slorg ambassador, that's normal.
