''Chroma Squad'' is an independent game by BeholdStudios, mixing elements of TurnBasedStrategy, StrategyRPG, and [[SimulationGame management simulation]]. It's a love-letter to the Japanese {{Tokusatsu}} genre, particularly the SuperSentai series-- more familiar to westerners by its American adaption, PowerRangers.
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 TurnBasedStrategy 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.

* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: You can choose your own transformation catchphrase.
* BrainInAJar: Cerebro, the central computer and wise mentor of the squad.
* CombinationAttack: Characters can use Teamwork to strike a pose, which allows them to team up with an ally for extra damage, or [[FastballSpecial increase the movement range of an ally by tossing them.]] If the entire squad does a combination attack, you get a FinishingMove.
* FiveManBand: Of course. The exact makeup of the band varies, as the actor assigned to each role is fully up to the player's discretion, but these five roles must be filled:
** TheLeader: The... [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Lead.]]
** TheBigGuy: The Assault.
** TheSmartGuy: The Techie.
** TheMedic: The Support.

* ShoutOut: Many. The two most obvious ones are the fact that you are essentially making a SuperSentai show, and the [[KamenRider solo missions starring a certain rider.]]
* SimulationGame: You manage the studio, including the purchasing, construction, and improvement of props and costumes. This also includes hiring marketing staff, buying health insurance, and deciding where to focus your advertisement efforts.
* StrategyRPG: Straddles the line between this and TurnBasedStrategy. While you don't gain experience points or level up, your units do have stats which can be improved by buying them equipment.
* SuperSentaiStance: During the FinishingMove.
* ThreeLawsCompliant: The actor R2 is compliant with only two of the laws, though the game doesn't elaborate on which one he disregards.
