Introduction

Have you ever wanted to be a Super Sentai hero but without all the awkward spandex and moral dilemmas? Look no further than Chroma Squad, the game where you control a bunch of stunt actors as they attempt to become the next big Tokusatsu television sensation. Spoiler alert: it's just as ridiculous as it sounds, and in the best way possible.

Gameplay

The premise is simple: a group of stunt actors, tired of playing second fiddle to the flashy special effects, decides to create their own Tokusatsu show—because who wouldn't want to dance around in brightly colored suits while fighting giant rubber monsters? Players will spend their time assigning roles and colors to your ragtag bunch of heroes, replete with the ability to change team names and catchphrases. The game is structured like a television series, with episodes that determine the fates and finances of your studio based on how well your actors perform. Think of it as The Office meets Power Rangers, but instead of awkward HR meetings, you're stacking ratings against flamboyant villains and colossal monsters. Combat is turn-based and strategy-oriented, with each character possessing unique traits that make the battles engaging, yet highly chaotic. The whole “teamwork” mechanic feels like the cheap ploy a business would use to boost morale—but hey, at least when your teammates fall flat on their faces, they can help you reach higher ground, literally.

Graphics

Visually, Chroma Squad is a vibrant explosion of color that plays out like a live-action cartoon. The pixel art style is charming and manages to capture the flamboyant essence of 80s and 90s Tokusatsu shows without making your eyes bleed. Each frame feels as aimed at nostalgia as it is at modern sensibilities, which is a tall order. It’s the sort of colorful palette that makes you want to play with a box of crayons again—or, you know, just play Chroma Squad.

Conclusion

Chroma Squad plays like a warm hug wrapped in spandex, complete with cheesy one-liners and plenty of melodrama. It's quirky, funny, and a tad absurd, serving up a slice of entertainment that scratches every itch for Tokusatsu fans while managing to bring something fresh to the table. Whether you play it for the strategy or simply to relive your childhood fantasies of being a superhero, Chroma Squad is one colorful adventure that’s definitely worth your time. So grab your suit, summon your mecha, and prepare to put on the best show your tiny stunt studio can muster—after all, it’s morphin’ time!
