I'll keep playing cause the game is good but i have to say, dialogues are very childlike which is alright and seemingly intentional but suddenly getting a lecture on sexism and why it's bad to save a girl and not a boy in an episode is absolutely out of context, feels like the creepiest propaganda, doesn't feel ironic, gets you totally out of it and it's also incredibly dumb twitter-like thinking. How is the gender …

Chroma Squad is amazing and it shows from its overall review scores! Keeping it short, it's an amazing homage to the Power Rangers Series/Games. I generally don't like strategy/turned based games, (and I may be wrong and biased) because they feel boring to me, in the sense that everything is calculated in a numerical algorithm and not much skill goes into place (again maybe I just played bad games up to this point …

A tactical RPG inspired by Power Rangers/Super Sentai, that has a fun, satisfying combo system as your characters' skills have different synergies that make the combat more enjoyable. The dialogue's funny, full of references, and the tone of the game's lighthearted, not taking itself too seriously. The art-style is retro, full of colorful visuals, and the soundtrack is upbeat. It gets a bit repetitive after a while, …

Chroma Squad feels like what would happen if the Power Rangers quit their day job, grabbed some cardboard props, and decided to run a crappy indie studio. The tactical combat is fun, the writing is cute and the whole low‑budget superhero show vibe is so charming it’s hard not to smile. Sure, a few missions drag and the budget system occasionally made me feel like a very stressed producer. Not perfect, but absolutely …

It's cute and has a lot of passion, though it can get a bit repetitive. And holy balls are the finishing moves a pain to set up... Really all the optional objectives in general can be finicky, but fortunately they're optional. Sure, the game ran a good bit longer than it felt like it maybe should have (no thanks to some IRL interruptions on my end) but the story was... actually pretty nice? Just the right mixture of …

I am terribly jealous, even. Changer Seven looks neat. (Lemme also say we need more Chroma Squad in the world.)

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Less than one hour in and I am getting a lecture on why it's bad to save a girl and not a boy during an episode. I don't know if it was supposed to be ironic, but it made me cringe so hard that I decided to move on.

neutral · AI labelView post →I didn't get the feeling that tactical depth was very important for this game as far as design principles go. I'd recommend it for fans of super sentai, but not for anyone looking for an engaging tactics game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a tactics game but completely stripped down. They should be providing enemy movement ranges and a continuous grid layout at the least so players can make informed decisions about their approach instead of just guessing. Also, every fight has some sort of gimmick beside just the Director's requirement. Lose a team member, no power suits etc. On top of that once a move is made there you're stuck with it which wouldn't be too annoying but certain episodes contain multiple fights so one…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My first playthrough was on Challenging. TLDWR: It's ok. 3/5 Starts really strong but it's a steep hill going down from there lol. I'd still buy it if it's on a good sale. Still fun overall, just don't expect too much. The viewers/fans mechanic is cool and I wish there was more to the production side of things like a dev-style game... but it's quite shallow. Lots of stuff isn't explained very well. Late-game crafting is broken. Piece shows it will roll 4 modifiers but really…

I picked up this game when I saw TotalBiscuit recommended it a while back before he passed away. It has sat in my backlog for many years, and I finally decided randomly to play through it. What a charming and fun love letter to fans of Power Rangers/Super Sentai type shows. The story is cute, the gameplay is engaging, and it seems just as…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an amazing game if you're a fan of tokusatsu and RPGs. You probably won't like if you're just someone who has seen power rangers as a kid a few times.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played through season 1 of Chroma Squad tonight. Extremely fun indie game, and a great tribute to Power Rangers! Had us really enjoying ourselves, but there were definitely a few moments that got us laughing really, really hard. They should never have given us the power to customize our lines. 🤣
positive · AI labelView post →If you're at all a fan of Super Sentai/Power Rangers aesthetic, and enjoy turn based tactical rpgs, then Chroma Squad is a game you should check out! You make your own show of a group of 'rangers', naming them, color coordinating them, and picking what actors take their spots! Love letter to toku!
neutral · AI labelView post →7/10 (Bought on Sale) - Fun & not too long - Story is fun for what it is - Characters are silly in a good way - Simple way to get into the turn-based genre - Mech gameplay leaves more to be desired - Itemization is lacking
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the first tactical RPG I play and it was so much fun. I wasn't sure I liked the genre before jumping into it but I loved it. I played on Challenging difficulty, which proved a very good balance between challenge and having fun. I love how each episode feels completely different, and the director's instructions are really fun to go after. It never feels unfair in any way, and I just love how diverse the cast is in terms of abilities. Awsome game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For one, Haim Saban himself forced Chroma Squad (a game inspired by Super Sentai) to say "Inspired by Saban's Power Rangers". For another, the writing staff of Digimon did not like Davis (02's protagonist) so they amped up his annoying tendencies
neutral · AI labelView post →Chroma Squad is a blatant love letter to Saban's Power Rangers and other super sentai stories. It's the story of a group of stuntmen opening their own studio to make their own super sentai show. It's silly, it's fun, it has some funny and weird sci-fi elements that adds to the campy charm of Power Rangers and it meshes super well. You combine that with the actually super tight flashy tactics system where your optional objectives are related to flexing on the enemies to the sake of increasing…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fantastically fun and quirky game thats choc full of references and gags for people to enjoy. The higher difficulty settings also provide a fun level of challenge as well if you want to actually have to think about what youre doing. Honestly though, if you like(d) the power rangers and enjoy turn based gameplay this is honestly a bit of a no brainer
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Brilliant game. It was sitting in my pile of shame and I didn't know much about it - just that it was suggested by a friend and had good reviews. I hesitated on this for quite a long time as Tactical-RPG evoked in me fears of finding the millionth x-com clone, but it is very original and absolutely does its own thing. ótimo trabalho!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I backed this on Kickstarter back in the day, and played it then too. Came back and played again and just had a blast with the story and mechanics. More games should try to operate in the Sentai/Henshin genre, it's just a lot of fun there.

neutral · AI labelView post →Turn-based strategy, power ranger wish fulfillment. Solid humor and decent tactics during combat. Had me shouting my own catchphrase upon transformation into ranger-form.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is very good! And i enjoyed my time with it. Very funny, and the premise is great. However; replay value is meh. I think it does have alternate paths with different storylines, but I never really bothered to play more than once due to the combats sluggish pacing and lack of variety in objectives and enemies in later segments. Mech battles were also boring as hell. but still; I enjoyed my time with it. and is 100% worth at least 1 playthrough. Give it a go!

Chroma Squad is filled with love for the sentai genre and you can see it every aspect in the game. From the varied suit customization to the many references of the tropes we are all familiar. Chroma Squad never failed to make me smile. Gameplay-wise it is a very simple turn based rpg. Nothing new or revolutionary but it works well with what it has. Despite its simplicity, the game is…

The battles are super basic, with some characters not even having any abilities from the start. There is some strategy with light positioning and target prioritization, but it's not deep. The rest of the game, like the studio management and equipment, is mundane at best, and tiring at worst due to simplistic UI. The whole audience meter - the game's…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Chroma Squad This one is so weird and I love it for that. It's basically a tactical RPG but filtered through Tokusatsu. And I mean actual Tokusatsu. Like your characters are actors and the battles are you action scenes for your low budget TV show. It's amazing. www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...
positive · AI labelView post →meh, boring as hell
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You know, that'd be an interesting stylistic choice to make a game where it was really obvious that characters were wearing costumes. Possibly something in the vein of Chroma Squad?
neutral · AI labelView post →TL;DR: Cosplayers at conventions take their RP more seriously than the "actors" in this game. Additionally, I found the progression and combat boring. Despite my best effort, I couldn't find immersion in this RPG :( I enjoy tactical RPG like Fire Emblem, Shining Force, FF Tactics, Into the Breach, etc. Character progression is the biggest dopamine hit for me in any RPG, which this game lacks. While this game lets you hand pick your squad, there is no individual exp gain, leveling up, or stat…

Do you like grid and turn based rpgs? Then you should give this game a try! It took several twists and turns I wasn't expecting.
positive · AI labelView post →Colourful and fun game with a reasonable level of tactical variety and a great art style. The clever premise, being that of a production studio producing a Sentai television show with a growing budget, allows for great management and customisation elements, as well as delivering several story-lines packed full of meta-jokes and humour.
