Chroma Squad is a tactical RPG about five stunt actors who decide to quit their jobs and start their own Power Rangers-inspired TV show! Cast actors, purchase equipment and upgrades for your studio, craft weapons and giant Mechas out of cardboard and duct tape. Once your cameras are rolling, you will control your cast of five colored-clad warriors in turn-based battles. Use team maneuvers, special skills, and finishing moves to improve your 'Audience' ratings and earn more money for the studio. Features a branching story with multiple endings, deep tactical combat, and a retro 16-bit aesthetic that perfectly captures the Saturday morning cartoon vibe. Can you turn your indie studio into a global phenomenon?

Our Expert Score

88/100

Chroma Squad is a love letter to the Power Rangers and the Super Sentai genre. It manages to perfectly balance a tactical RPG with a business management simulator. You aren't just fighting monsters; you're running a struggling stunt studio, managing marketing, and upgrading your cardboard-and-duct-tape costumes into something legendary.

The tactical combat is surprisingly deep, featuring 'Teamwork' maneuvers that allow for satisfying combos and positioning strategies. The pixel art is charming, and the writing is genuinely funny, poking fun at the tropes of 90s television while celebrating them. It's a must-play for fans of turn-based strategy who want something with a bit more soul and humor than the average genre entry.

Q&A

No, it is an independent parody and tribute to the 'Tokusatsu' genre, though it captures the spirit perfectly.

Kaiju-Sized Fun!
Wed Jul 19 2017 Fish366664686

Grabbed this game expecting mild enjoyment and estimating a quick delete after the initial fun wore off. Instead I was surprised by a fully fleshed out tactics game with a ton of fun and replay ability. It's an obvious spoof of power rangers but the story is still fun with a good twist. The battle tutorial could use work but once you figure it out you're golden. Most battles start with your team out of costume able to move and attack once per turn but you also have the option of moving and choosing 'teamwork' which sets that character up to throw teammates to far away panels and also do combo attacks. Once per battle you can activate the special button (which you get to name) initiating a costume transformation for your squad. This fully heals your team making its activation kind of strategic. Once in costume your team remains in them til the end of battle and gains access to weapon attacks and class specific abilities which have nice strategic synergy. One thing not explained is that a 'special attack kill' requirement means a combo attack using all five teammates in costume. Each class has a skill tree which has a choice between two or three nodes at each tier. There are armor and weapons to buy or craft. Your filming studio can be upgraded and your giant mecha suit can also be upgraded in different ways. The first season feels slow but after that the game picks up. Mecha battles are fun but fairly simple. Also check the mail icon since it isn't pointed out at the beginning and certain mail unlocks stuff. I play on iPad so I can hit the squares on the battle grid pretty easily but it might be harder on a phone. Overall I highly recommend to anyone looking for a fully paid for tactical rpg which will take roughly eight to ten hours a play through but also has some replay ability. Lots of fun

Excellent strategy game with a lot of charm!

This game is excellent in it’s own right, with an exciting, catchy soundtrack that fits perfectly with the even better story. This game is fun, quirky, and self-aware in all the right places, and delivers a heartwarming story, despite it’s goofy nature of actors flipping around in spandex suits fighting monsters like traffic wizards and bird people. That being said, the only downside one might find with this game is the necessity of near-perfection on it’s higher difficulty. If you enjoy lots of trial and error in simply choosing your characters for your squad (something you have to restart the entire game to change, by the way), then the hard difficulty is up your alley. All in all, this is an excellent game for both sides of gamers. It can be played on easy and delivers an excellent story and allows new players to get a feel for turn based strategy games if they aren’t familiar with them, and offers an exceptionally difficult mode of the game where every turn could quite literally cost you the entire level if you misstep, and the medium difficulty for those who want a taste of both. It’s by no means perfect (as there are a few small bugs, I mainly noticed the occasional screen flash of certain sprites up close, but this doesn’t really hamper the gameplay). Definitely check this one out.

Flawless and Beautiful

This game is absolutely phenomenal from the humor to the satisfying combat with smart decisions. Absolutely endless replay ability with some 15 characters to choose from and different path and ending choices. All bad reviews for this game are pretty much for the fact that the game at first release was a little buggy but all bugs are fixed now! The games humor is great from random comments from the game or making fun or references to other games/shows. The aspect of it being all a television show is a great concept and really shines well in this game. THIS IS A 20$ GAME SOLD FOR 4.99$ trust me it’s so worth the purchase I’ve played worse games for much more so don’t let the price tag dismay you. Absolutely loved the game and all the aesthetics from creative funny villains that the cast knows and converses with on scene to the way the minions complain about actually being hit. Please get this game it’s so worth it and I hope you enjoy it as much as me I wish I helped on the kickstarter for this game but I am truly happy I bought this game.

I am interested about “please. Chroma squad 2” so this is a response. I want a chroma squad 2 as much as he/she does too. I love to watch power rangers and game backs me feel like I am the director of the show. Just if you are reading this makers of this game please make a sequel and an Idea if you do make it so you can download content from the first game to the second one to start off where you left off. PS: and for the story I forget what it is called but isn’t the final boss the leader of some alien armada or something like that who are the other members and where are they....................... PPS: please respond to this #ChromaS2 PPPS:figured out group name, the name is (spoilers play til last episode of season 3 to figure out name of the group)

Fun but bonus objectives can be wack
Mon Oct 21 2019 WeaponXI

Like I said the game is pretty enjoyable, especially for its price. The only complaint I have (and its a big one) is how often you can get extremely with the bonus objectives. A lot of the missions have multiple battles in the same mission, and if your party dies or you want to restart because of a failed bonus objective, you have to start from the beginning of that mission and redo all of the battles (they can be tedious). That isn’t such a huge deal if it was completely reliant on skill, but it isn’t always. For example, on the 3rd fight of a mission it wants you to kill 4 enemies in a single turn. AOE attacks are in short supply at this point, so you basically have to one shot them individually. Well, most of your party has to use a long cool down ability to do that, and if it misses you can kiss that bonus objective goodbye, or redo the mission and the tedious drawn out fights that happened before the one you failed. That’s one example but not the only one, and if you play it I’m sure you’ll see what I mean.

Good, but under-age rated content
Sun Jan 06 2019 AppleAddict2499

I am a really big power rangers fan from the heart, I am not as interested in it as much as I used to be but still. I actually made a review about this game where I basically destroyed it, but I realize this game was quite good. I love rpgs, and this no slacker in that department. And for Power Rangers, this game has an amazing story that you choose, with multiple endings. I also love the fact that the Megazords or ‘Mechas’ are incorporated into this game too! Overall this game is quite spectacular. But, there is some content that is not for younger players, like some mature dialogue and a bikini fish monster. There might a few other things too, but still. Once you overlook the bad things, this game is awesome! I love the music, and even the Chroma Squad’s theme song! I actually even made a video of my Power Rangers fighting a boxing box, literally! I would recommend this game to kids who are at least 12 and up, and if you are, get ready to have a blast!

How a mobile game should be!
Tue May 30 2017 Johnny Vaudeville

This is how it should be. Pay once, get the game in its entirety. If you enjoy turn-based strategies, power rangers, or Knights of Pen and Paper, you'll love this. The controls aren't confusing and the tutorial isn't long at all. When you push the star icon your ranger will strike a pose. From there you can either use that ranger as a springboard to toss the other rangers greater distances, or if the posed character is next to an enemy, the next ranger to attack said enemy will perform a double attack with the posed ranger. You can position multiple rangers to perform combo attacks, using four rangers with the fifth attacking will unleash your finishing move.

Absolute Hoot!

I downloaded this game on a whim and was quite surprised at how funny, witty, fun, and addicting it was. You can customize your squad and mech which is always a plus in my opinion. I would like it if there were more choices of classes but hopefully they'll add those in. The big gripes I have are the studio upgrades.....the buttons don't work after the first season and it's really frustrating. I save all this money and can't use it 98% on the studio. That needs to be fixed asap. Also, I would like a save option for the middle of a battle. Whenever I'd have to go do something in real life, if I put the game away for more than 20 min, it resets and I have to start a episode all over again.
