Chroma Squad

About

Chroma Squad is a turn-based tactical RPG with a side of absurd humor. You run a low-budget TV production where five stunt performers double as heroes. Between missions you hire new cast members, upgrade your studio, and build goofy weapons and mechas from scrap materials. Battles play out in grid-based combat that blends resource management with squad positioning. Each character has distinct abilities and weaknesses that matter in fights. The 2015 release from Behold Studios runs on PC and consoles including Switch. The game stands out for its deadpan jokes and tight strategy loops. Crafting a sword from cardboard and duct tape feels oddly satisfying. Player communities praise the clever writing and deeper systems hiding under the silly premise. While not as polished as modern tactics games, it maintains a cult following for its charm. The mix of studio management and battlefield planning offers a fresh twist on the genre.
