What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
February 2023 is where it bottomed out, at $2.24. It has been discounted 81 times in the 11 years tracked here, typically at 70 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 3 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks. The math puts its BANGER price at $11.79. The record reaches that level 79 times.
Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 77 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Monster Sanctuary ($4.99, scores 85) beats it on value, while it beats Renowned Explorers: International Society ($19.99, scores 76).
75 from critics against 93 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.
Steam's global achievement data says about 12 percent of players ever finish it. On a 12.8-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. This site sampled 364 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 1 was written by a buyer who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 74 percent of the 189 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 12.8 hours. Doing everything runs 32, 2.5 times as long.

What players say
The following is an abridged transcript of a review I did of the game on YouTube: Released in April 2015 for all PC platforms, then released for Xbox One, PS4, and mobile platforms in 2017, and finally topped off with a 2019 Switch port, this little indie title that could launched from a successful Kickstarter campaign to give the world the sentai-inspired SRPG, Chroma Squad. Brought to us by Behold Studios, which...
This game is pretty good! the graphics are neat, gameplay is intuitive, and the music is pretty catchy to hum as well! you can FEEL the passion for tokusatsu shows these devs had, there are plenty of references! my only problems were some unpatched bugs, (like the team finisher animation not playing with the sixth ranger ) and the boss and "director instruction" difficulty can get almost asinine at times (especially...
a great cute little iso RPG and mocks the power rangers series in a way that its clear the writer watched it when they were younger. no B.S moments either, really deserved a sequal
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Chroma Squad scores 81/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/251130/chroma-squadThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 20, price as of Sep 24.
