Chroma Squad is an independent game by Behold Studios, mixing elements of Turn-Based Strategy, Strategy RPG, and management simulation. It's a love-letter to the Japanese Tokusatsu genre, particularly the Super Sentai series— more familiar to westerners by its American adaption, Power Rangers.You take the role of a new, up-and-coming indie studio, managing a Sentai show. Your goal is to create a show exciting enough to draw in fans. After creating your own custom squad of five heroes in colorful costumes, it's time to begin filming. By staging battles against mooks and monsters (the Turn-Based Strategy segments), your audience will grow, and with it, your revenue. Then, by using the money gained from successful episodes, you can further enhance your show's appeal, buying new costumes, materials, special effects, advertising contracts, and more. Exciting battles, cool special effects, and good costumes will bring in more viewers. But if you slip up and produce a bad episode, expect to lose fans. If the ratings fall too low, your show will be canceled.The game was funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign. Its release date was listed as Summer 2014, but the game was subject to several delays and it didn't make the launch window. It was finally released on PC, Mac, and Linux on April 30th 2015, but backers of the campaign could play it a little bit earlier, on April 28th. It was later released on Android and iOS on May 18th 2017, Playstation 4 and X Box One on May 19th 2017 and on Nintendo Switch on August 1st 2019. The official website is here. | |

Chroma Squad (Video Game) / int_1235f055 | comment |
Dirty Coward: Lord Gaga is this. While he tries to make it out as him not really trying and finding the heroes Not Worth Killing, the final level suggests his first response to any situation where he might actually lose is to run away. In the Moonstone Ranger Route, Villain X even outright says he looks like he's running away, implying his superior is aware of this tendency of his. When Villain X finds out about his failures, the facade drops and he begs for another chance. | |

Chroma Squad (Video Game) / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: On a meta-level, the developers. Even after getting into an agreement with Saban over the game, the developers decided to hew so close to existing Sentai properties (even going so far as to cite certain ones) that after it's release, the game wasn't allowed to be distributed in certain regions. Allegedly, it's because Toei became involved. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
Chroma Squad (Video Game) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: There are actually TWO "fourth walls" that the characters aren't afraid to break at all: The first is the SHOW's fourth wall, with characters openly talking about the lines, the narrator, script, etc during the fights. And the second is the game's fourth wall. Everyone talks about gameplay elements, like how "this boss is too overpowered", "maybe next turn =)" and "nerf this damage!". They sometimes even joke about the localization. You get an email from a fansite telling you to visit their website. The email then says you should check it out outside the game as well, as it is a real site. | |

Chroma Squad (Video Game) / int_225b682 | comment |
Throw-Away Guns: Exaggerated with Villain X, who states he only uses any weapon once. This is a literal gameplay mechanic during his boss fight, as he will take a weapon from one of his weapon bearers, use it, then only use the same attack again should he get another weapon of the same type. | |

Shoot the Dog: Lord Gaga attempts to force the squad to do this to Tammy after brainwashing her into a mindless monster. Thankfully, she survives regardless of whether you go through with it or not. In the Sixth Ranger Route, he repeats this tactic with one of Tammy's old friends. This time, the squad has to actually kill him. | |

Guest-Star Party Member: But of course. There's standard Sixth Ranger characters, as well as non-ranger allies like ones that have shown up in Sentai/PR on occasion. The game even lets you know beforehand if an episode will feature a guest. A proper Sixth Ranger joins your team throughout Season 5; depending on the choices you make at the end of Season 4, you can get a traditional Sixth Ranger, one of three expies of the Metal Heroes, or a Kamen Rider expy. | |

Flunky Boss | |
Chroma Squad (Video Game) / int_40e2ac3f | comment |
Flunky Boss: Most bosses are surrounded by minions; some of them can even summon more minions if the fight goes on long enough. The rematch with the plant boss at the end of Act 3 is the first time a boss fights you alone (to compensate, he summons pods that explode one turn after being summoned). Lord Gaga is particularly noteworthy for being a Flunky Boss whose flunkies are stronger versions of previous bosses (some of which are themselves Flunky Bosses). | |

Defeat Equals Explosion: Naturally, given the genre the game references. Night Driver's Driver Mode causes any defeated enemy to explode, which damages surrounding enemies. If set up right, it can clear a large portion of the screen in a single attack. | |

The Stinger: Multiple: If players read through the reams of lines from the narrator after beating the game, they are treated to a special scene where Brain (Cerebro, before being reduced to a Brain in a Jar) sends your predecessors to the final battle with Lord Gaga. Gaga appears in Brain's chamber to destroy him, but not before fighting a sushi cat. If one goes on the Night Driver route, Techie is shown reminiscing on Chroma Squad's impact on the world and how heroism isn't really as they hoped it was, but will keep going to keep the Earth safe. Tammy comes by and invites Techie out for coffee. | |

But Thou Must!: During season 2, you receive an e-mail from someone named Gaga who offers to install a device that will help boost audience numbers for your studio. You cannot refuse this offer. To a lesser extent, there's also Dr. Soap's offer for either royalties, or a court battle in season 1. The game offers you a third choice (bringing him on and letting him take over the show), but if you choose it, the option will be thrown out. | |

As a Book End, one of the last pieces of equipment you can make (out of incredibly powerful extraterrestrial materials, no less) is another, far more effective bucket helmet. | |

Knight of Cerebus: Lord Gaga has his comical moments, but his introduction takes the story in a much darker direction and raises the stakes from keeping your studio afloat to saving the entire world. He also actually murders people. | |

Zero-Effort Boss | |
Chroma Squad (Video Game) / int_6edb0066 | comment |
Zero-Effort Boss: Muscular Pigeon is a downplayed version of the trope. While technically capable of harming your team, it is unlikely to be able to do much except on Heroic Difficulty and will usually go down to a Finishing Move right off the bat. Given it comes right after the Red Samurai, which is very much not this trope, it is almost like an In-Universe Breather Boss. Colin's Bear attacks through a 'dance of death' that deals a mighty 1 damage to four random members of your squad. The minions that follow it can harm the team, but the Bear itself isn't likely to do much. Until it goes One-Winged Angel for stage two, that is... | |

Super Mode: Tammy gains a white-colored one during the Final Battle via Epiphany Comeback. Night Driver has Driver Mode, which powers up attacks at the cost of taking more damage and has the added bonus of causing slain enemies to explode, damaging other enemies around them. The Night Driver power up can be seen as one for the Assault as well, as it makes them much stronger and gives them both their own moves and the Night Driver moves. | |

Cerebro is also revealed to be an actual Brain in a Jar and not a prop, and he has chosen Chroma Squad to be the new defenders of Earth. Season 4 Finale: Lord Gaga attacks Cerebro's chamber with a mind-controlled Tammy, but Chroma Squad manages to push him away before being defeated by one of Lord Gaga's monsters. It is revealed that the original Chroma Squad team was real, but Lord Gaga managed to make everyone forget it. | |

Luck-Based Mission | |
Chroma Squad (Video Game) / int_98b1dc8f | comment |
Luck-Based Mission: The Mecha battles used to be this to some extent, as your punches' accuracy relied solely on RNG. This problem could be mitigated somewhat by upgrading your Mecha's hit chance, but a string of bad rolls could easily result in taking more damage than you can handle from bosses. Fortunately, the Mecha battle mechanics were changed in the Director's Cut update: now, you have to time a button press when a scrolling cursor is over the right section of a bar (higher accuracy just makes the "good" section larger), so it's quite feasible to completely cheese mecha fights as long as you have good reflexes. | |

Story Branching | |
Chroma Squad (Video Game) / int_9aa17eb0 | comment |
Story Branching: There are two branches in the storyline. During Season 1, you receive an email from Dr. Soap threatening litigation. The story branches in the next season depending on whether you pay royalties, offer to bring Dr. Soap on as director, or opt to settle the matter in court.note Only the first and third options impact how the story progresses. Picking the second option has the game call you out on "Giving up the game early." and reduces the choices to only the royalties, or the court battle. In the fourth season finale, there are three ways the story can branch depending on your actions in the final battle. In one branch, you save a brainwashed Tammy and let her on as the Sixth Ranger. In the second, Tammy is saved but not brought onto the team, and your Sentai team is joined by a Metal Heroes expy. In the third, Tammy is gravely injured during the battle, and Gaga kidnaps your entire team but the Assault, who must rescue the rest of the team with the help of a Kamen Rider expy. | |

Foreshadowing | |
Chroma Squad (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Quite a few things hint at a larger plot beyond a group of stuntmen making their own sentai TV show. When the team first find Cerebro in Techie's uncle's warehouse, judging from the lighting and debris around it, it's situated below a hole in the ceiling. Almost like it fell into the warehouse from above. Like, say, from outer space... One episode involves someone breaking onto the set and nailing their "lines" perfectly, followed by an address-less e-mail sent telling the team they are in danger. Throughout seasons 2 and 3, there are increasing numbers of missions that contain mysterious new characters whose presence is evidently not in the script. Is the studio just throwing in nearby elements that prove convenient for the plot? Or are some of the "alien threats" on the show actually real? | |

Dumb Muscle: The Assault tends to come across as this. It causes problems in one episode of Season 5 where the Assault recklessly rushes ahead of the group and gets manipulated into knocking out their friends before the Sixth Ranger comes to the rescue. In the Night Driver route (where the Assault is the only member of the squad available), the monsters tend to taunt them with this, claiming that without the rest of the squad, they're not much good for anything beyond hitting monsters. | |

Intentional Engrish for Funny: Downplayed example. The game faithfully retains the odd grammar and writing of classic Sentai; the Narrator's use of such is Lampshaded, but the other characters do it too, and their use goes unmentioned. | |

Killed Off for Real | |
Chroma Squad (Video Game) / int_cda501da | comment |
Killed Off for Real: Subverted with Tammy if you fail to save her - while you'll miss out on the chance to recruit her as a proper ranger, The Stinger in the Night Driver route shows that she survived. Also subverted with Mr. Ahbo (Tammy's father and the original Night Driver) in the Night Driver route. He gets killed by Lord Gaga fairly early on, but returns to help the squad in the final battle because of time travel. Somehow. | |

Cerebus Syndrome | |
Chroma Squad (Video Game) / int_cfdb9e17 | comment |
Cerebus Syndrome: Starting in season 3 and onwards, the game starts to shift from a light-hearted story about making a TV show to actually saving the planet from a coming monster invasion. Season 5 of the Night Driver route has a particularly noticeable shift in tone, with the entire Squad kidnapped except for the Assault, Tammy's father dying, and the Assault having to fight on alone against Lord Gaga's monsters. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
Chroma Squad (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: Hitting bosses with a full-member Combination Attack loses you audience unless you use it as a Finishing Move, because the audience doesn't want to see it get stale. However, hitting bosses with four- or three- member combinations grants them the 'enraged' status if they survive, which massively boosts their offense in the following round. This encourages you to divvy up your attacks between multiple enemies or buff your crew. | |

Sixth Ranger | |
Chroma Squad (Video Game) / int_dabc7a46 | comment |
In the fourth season finale, there are three ways the story can branch depending on your actions in the final battle. In one branch, you save a brainwashed Tammy and let her on as the Sixth Ranger. In the second, Tammy is saved but not brought onto the team, and your Sentai team is joined by a Metal Heroes expy. In the third, Tammy is gravely injured during the battle, and Gaga kidnaps your entire team but the Assault, who must rescue the rest of the team with the help of a Kamen Rider expy. | |

Most bosses are surrounded by minions; some of them can even summon more minions if the fight goes on long enough. The rematch with the plant boss at the end of Act 3 is the first time a boss fights you alone (to compensate, he summons pods that explode one turn after being summoned). | |

Heroic Second Wind | |
Chroma Squad (Video Game) / int_ddc4f035 | comment |
Heroic Second Wind: In mecha battles, if you accrue a high enough audience score, your health gauge will refill itself if it hits zero, giving you a second chance to win. This is how the Hopeless Final Boss Fight is won: with the power of fans from across the world, not only does your mecha's HP continuously refill, but your hit rate will permanently exceed 1000%. Happens in the Season 3 finale: Gaga triggers his trap and takes out the entirety of Chroma Squad for real, leaving his (non-actor) monsters to finish them off. Lead, through sheer willpower, manages to not only stand up despite their injuries, but also manages to transform FOR REAL. | |

"Super Sentai" Stance: But of course! The most prominent ones are during the Finishing Move and when using the Teamwork ability, but the heroes will also pose like this for their Transformation Sequence, as well as just doing it randomly during their turns. During cutscenes, each hero has their own unique pose whenever they say something while in costume. | |

Hero Killer | |
Chroma Squad (Video Game) / int_e16fb8ca | comment |
Hero Killer: According to Tammy, Lord Gaga has killed many of Earth's heroes off screen and did something to her sister that left her permanently crippled. He also reduced Brain to the Brain in a Jar Cerebro and manages to capture Tammy and brainwash her into a mindless monster, nearly forcing the squad to kill her. (In the Sixth Ranger route, he later succeeds in doing this to one of Tammy's old friends.) In the Night Driver Route, he also kills Tammy's father, the original Night Driver (who eventually gets better due to time travel). When initially introduced, he's also more than powerful enough to take out the entire squad in one hit. | |

Hopeless Boss Fight: Subverted in the original release and averted in the Director's Cut when it comes to the final battle.

The gameplay changes introduced by the Director's Cut, however, make it entirely possible to kill Villain X fair and square. | |
