Chroma Squad is a tactical RPG developed by Behold Studios, deeply inspired by the tokusatsu genre, particularly series like “Super Sentai” and “Power Rangers.” In this game, players take on the role of a group of stunt actors who decide to leave their jobs to start their own television show inspired by the Power Rangers.
Gameplay Overview:
Tactical RPG: Players engage in turn-based battles, controlling a team of five characters, each dressed in a color-coded jumpsuit reminiscent of the Power Rangers. The combat system is designed to mimic the dramatic, over-the-top style of tokusatsu shows, with unique mechanics like “Teamwork” moves where characters can combine their abilities for special attacks that not only amplify damage but also boost the show’s ratings.
Studio Management: Beyond combat, a significant part of the gameplay involves managing a TV studio. Players must:
Hire Actors: Choose from different characters with unique skills and traits that affect both combat performance and show production.
Upgrade Equipment: Invest in better gear, props, and even giant mechas made from cardboard and duct tape to enhance both the show’s quality and battle effectiveness.
Marketing and Crafting: Manage marketing strategies to increase viewership and craft weapons, costumes, and mechas, which directly influence battle outcomes and episode ratings.
Narrative and Choices: The game features a branching storyline with three different endings based on player decisions, which can involve how you manage your studio, the choices made in battle, and interactions with sponsors. Each episode is essentially an episode of the show, where your performance directly impacts ratings and, consequently, the studio’s success.
Key Features:
Customization: Extensive options to personalize your heroes with various weapons, armor, and even the design of your mechas. Each piece of equipment not only boosts stats but can also alter the aesthetic of your characters.
Skill Trees and Progression: Characters have skill trees allowing for diverse development paths. Random equipment drops and crafting mechanics add layers to character build strategies.
Giant Mecha Combat: Occasionally, battles escalate to mecha fights where you control giant robots in city landscapes, aiming to save the city while battling giant monsters.
Love Letter to Tokusatsu: The game is filled with homages to classic Japanese tokusatsu shows, with pixel art graphics and chiptune music that evoke nostalgia while maintaining a fresh gameplay experience.
Reception and Impact:
Critical Acclaim: Chroma Squad has received positive reviews for its originality, humor, and dedication to its source material. It has been praised for its tactical depth, charming pixel art, and engaging soundtrack. Critics have noted it as “the greatest Power Rangers game there never was.”
Community Engagement: There’s an active community on platforms like Steam, where players share custom episodes created using the in-game editor, discuss strategies, and share fan art.
