Out now for Windows, Mac, and Linux
Chroma Squad, the game about running your own Japanese superhero television studio, is now available onSteam,GOG.com, and theHumble Storefor $14.99. What a cool niche. This is part tactical role-playing title, part management simulator and, huh, would you look at that “Inspired by Saban’sPower Rangers” subtitle on the logo.
As outlined by developer Behold Studios,there have been changessince the Kickstarter campaign. Aside from tweaked character outfits and no multiplayer (yet), there’s also that curious new disclaimer. Here’s the deal: “After we talked to Saban (the owner’s of the brandMighty Morphing Power Rangers), we got in an agreement that we would explicitly show in the title one of our references in the game. This is actually a good thing because all the press was comparing our game to theMMPRshow anyway. After the agreement we can freely talk about our inspirations for the game without any problems.”
Given theinitial reportsabout Saban going afterChroma Squad, I’m glad the two parties were able to work something out. We’ll have our review up on the site before long. Looking ahead, Behold says it hopes to release console, iPad, and Android tablet ports later this year.
