In 60 seconds: What is Citadel? Who should play it?

Citadel is a deep and complex game. For those who dive in and master it, the richness of the gameplay is a profound reward. But it can be a little tricky to get your head around at first.

Hey Alex,

Sorry I wasn't to get this video in on time, but I wanted to express some thoughts on the game Citadel. I love this game already, a lot. Especially coming from EVE. These are the words I would say if I we're creating a video(high effort).

Citadel is a fast-paced, roguelike, Diablo-style spaceship micro-massive-online-playing game. Based in your browser, you find yourself in Zion's hangar bay, where you must venture out into hostile and hotly contested tunnel systems within the mechanism known as Citadel. You must compete with sovereign factions, pirate gangs, AI hive constructs, and alien presence in order to collect enough ore to forge your own path forward. The gameplay can be likened to Terminal Velocity(Descent), Diablo in the loot system and item interface. Players susceptible to motion sickness or nausea should take an anti-nausea medicine before playing Citadel, because you will be pulling G's. Also, ship destruction is permanent as a roguelike game is. Gaining aggression from different factions will put you into a Grand-Theft-Auto type of agro-cooldown system, except you can have multiple factions on your back simultaneously. Citadel is for RPG, roguelike enthusiasts, hardcore gamers, and especially lets not forget: EVE players. This is the Abyssal run you've been salting for. Killmails are just a single entry broadcast to the entire server with your name, shiptype, and how much ore you lost. Press o7/F/Salute/Present Arms, to pay respects.
