How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About Chroma Squad
Five stunt performers launch their own Power Rangers-style show: between episodes you hire, run marketing and upgrade the studio, and in each one you fight turn-based battles on a grid, with team attacks and, at times, giant robots.
