Chroma Squad is another kickstarter success story. In this review of Chroma Squad, I attempt to break down the many facets of this game into something digestable. Much easier said than done, as Chroma Squad is full of tiny treats to enhance your gameplay.

I've never seen a Power Rangers tribute game, but I'm glad Chroma Squad was the first one I stumbled across. The class roles are just varied enough to make a huge difference in the playstyle between characters. Chroma Squad offers simple gameplay, that quickly evolves into absolute madness.

“Zordon may have wanted "teens with attitude," but Chroma Squad and its unabashed, utterly geeky love-in for all things tokusatsu shows something even harder to find: A game with heart and soul. That heart shines through the rough edges, and in some ways even turns them to its advantage.” 
8/10 – Destructoid 

“Chroma Squad is terrifically enjoyable. Fans of tactical RPGs will have oodles of fun, and those who also look fondly upon the youthful days of the Power Rangers will get an extra kick.” 
8/10 – Twinfinite 

“Chroma Squad relies on a very interesting concept, delivered through a solid execution and tons of content. If you like management and RPGs, this may be a nice surprise for you.” 
8/10 – Vandal Online 

Chroma Squad's premise is very catchy hook to begin with. A group of disgruntled stunt actors are fed up with their boss and quit their current Ranger season to start their own series. With buckets, old shirts and cardboard boxes your crew assembles a set of costumes and backdrops and the battle against evil can begin. Along the way you'll find that there is a little more to playing Power Rangers than just making cool poses.

After you tune your squad you record your episodes. This is a turn based tactics game where you fight minions and monsters on a grid. The real selling point here is positioning and teamwork. One ranger can kick a mook for sure, but positioning your squad in such a way will allow you to vault your rangers straight into the bosses face on the first turn to deliver a juicy team attack. It is key that master the acrobatics and abilities to chase down the shifty bosses, or that you weaken and wear out the brawlers without losing a Ranger, because no one likes it when the good guys lose.

You performance isn't measured in money, or experience; it is measured in audience. Since you're recording a TV show your audience is your life; and you cannot survive without loyal viewers and fans. Every episode gives you a hand full of objectives to clear to make your episode a bit better. More audience, means more fans, means more money, means better suits, means better TV, means more audience, etc. It is a simple, yet fun system, because it invites you to think of other ways to approach a problem, rather than to look for the one tactic.  -[TA]Whoota
