CircleCity: Long Live Spheretania!

CircleCity: Long Live Spheretania! is a 2017 hack 'n slash action game developed by Gunfire Games and published by THQ Nordic. Based on the American adult animated television series CircleCity, the game's narrative follows series protagonists Lloyd and Benny as the eponymous city becomes its own nation separate from the United States via political loopholes, and their attempt to uncover an unconventionally complicated conspiracy as the nation is quickly forced to branch out for power by overtaking the United States.

The game combines elements of hack n' slash and social simulation games. The game is played in a third-person 3D perspective, with a cel-shaded art style meant to replicate the show. Players are able to freely explore CircleCity as it continuously expands into a wide nation; interacting with characters and building relationships with your party, completing quests and unlocking new areas and features as the main story progresses. Show creator Dab-mcgee and several show writers were closely involved with production; specifically penning the game's script.

The game was released worldwide on March 27, 2017 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 & Xbox One, followed by a Nintendo Switch port releasing in 2019. The game received a generally favorable reception; which praised the comedic script & faithfulness to the source material; whilst receiving criticism for its lack of challenge and certain underutilized features. The game received post-release downloadable content in the form of extra story missions entitled Her Majesty's Surrender and Forgotten Freedome; which released in September and December of 2017 respectively. A sequel, placeholder name, was released in October 2020.

Gameplay
CircleCity: Long Live Spheretania! is a third-person, 3D hack and slash action game. Players control multiple characters from the series (Lloyd, Benny, Fat Bob, Madison, Nancy, Moe & Dustin), and each character are divided by three styles of combat: gunplay, weaponry, and melee. Characters under gunplay utilize long-range combat and have access to multiple types of guns; weaponry characters deal in quick, close-range attacks, whilst melee characters deal heavy blows but are slow to utilize.

Plot
In CircleCity: Long Live Spheretania!, America’s favorite shithole becomes its own nation separate from America via political loopholes. As with any nation, however, power isn’t just handed to you: and newly appointed President Tnediserp (formerly Mayor Royam) has big plans to achieve said power: branch out and take over the entire United States (by force). Play as all your favorite CircleCity characters as they horrifically defy several geneva conventions against their will; or at least until they figure out how to overthrow Tnediserp and restore their country back to a city.
