Overview
Description

Chroma Squad lets you manage a fledgling TV studio, casting stunt actors, buying gear, and building cardboard mechas. Craft weapons, upgrade your studio, and direct dramatic battles. When the cameras roll, control five colored‑jumpsuit warriors in strategic, turn‑based combat as you protect your show from monsters and rival productions.

Transistor is an action role‑playing game presented from an isometric perspective. Players control Red, a singer in the neon‑lit city of Cloudbank, as she wields a greatsword‑like weapon called the Transistor against the robotic Process. Combat can flow in real‑time or be paused with Turn(), letting you queue Functions for strategic bursts. With 16 unique Functions that can be equipped, upgraded, or set as passives, every playthrough invites experimentation and deep tactical planning.
