Behold Studios and Plug In Digital have revealed that Chroma Squad will be suiting up on Nintendo Switch on 1st August.
Chroma Squad is a tactical RPG which focuses on five stunt actors who decide to quit their jobs and start their own Power Rangers-Inspired TV show (we've all been there). Players must cast actors, purchase equipment and upgrades for their studio, and craft weapons and giant mechas out of cardboard and duct tape. Next step? Turn-based battles. It originally released on PC in 2015, but now it's made the jump to Switch with the following features:
Features:
- Customize your TV studio: hire actors, upgrade your gear, do marketing, craft weapons, costumes and giant cardboard robots!
- Tactical RPG combat with a twist: combine your heroes’ abilities with Teamwork maneuvers!
- In-Depth RPG systems: skill trees, random equipment, crafting, and branching storyline with 3 different endings!
- Giant Mecha combat: destroy the city to save the city!
You can grab the game directly from the Switch eShop for $14.99 / 14.99€.

Next in the queue for me after Fire Emblem.
Such a great game. Dang. Might have to double dip on a sale.
This looks so cheesy and stupid...
I love it!
I love cheesy games. Definitely gonna pick this one up.
A way better Power Rangers game than Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Mega Battle and Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid. Also they say it's inspired by Power Rangers but what they really meant to say was Super Sentai but they had to say Power Rangers or else no one would care as not many western people knew of Super Sentai.
@retro_player_22 From what I've heard, the early versions didn't say that - they had to add that to the title, and change a character's name, because Saban (who seems to think they own the entire genre) threw a little tantrum and threatened legal action.
EDIT: Forgot to comment on the game itself! I've seen gameplay from the PC version; it's very cheesy and very fun, though the challenges can be a bit tricky at times.
Already played it on PC a while ago, but never finished it
Might get it again on Switch tho, it was really damn good
Wow this sounds like a game I could sink so time into, i really like tactical rpgs!
@ChibiNinja @retro_player_22 Saban did get legal action. The devs have to pay Saban (possibly Hasbro now since they now own the Rangers) a portion from every sale made. This happened around the Megazord Update a few years ago.
