Rainbow Moon

A childern’s book as is actually a good way of thinking about the game. Although playing it on its own will undoubtedly get boring after a while, Rainbow Moon is the perfect remedy for a burned out brain. It will always be there for you and will always be easy.

If you have been searching for a retro-inspired tactical RPG that actually delivers the goods, then look no further. Rainbow Moon will push all of the right nostalgic game-play buttons. Just be prepared for a pretty thin story, and a lot of old-school grinding as your time investment – and the game’s difficulty level – increases.

Rainbow Moon is a good game buried under tedium. It has a lot of fundamental strengths that lack an engaging push to keep you going. For a budget downloadable offering, it's absurdly long and packed with content, and the fundamental combat system is fun.

Rainbow Moon is an in-depth game with nice visuals. It offers plenty of game time to those who are familiar with the RPG genre, but I also believe it would not deter those who are not familiar to games of this ilk. Battles can be a chore to begin with, but with time, Rainbow Moon shines through.

There's enough addictive fun to be had in Rainbow Moon to justify its small price tag, but slow pacing and control issues hold it back from greatness.

Rainbow Moon offers tens of hours grinding in awesome tactical turn-based fights. For many games this will feel more like work than play, but for whoever that loves the cycle of battles, finding items, leveling and battling again, this game is highly entertaining.

Frustrations aside, Rainbow Moon is well worth the money. If you’ve played it before, there really isn’t a reason to buy this game again but if you’re one of the people that has yet to try it out, be prepared for a long but ultimately fun grind.

Maybe its appearance and story are not the best on the market but Rainbow Moon is a deep and solid tactical RPG with a lot of interesting gameplay hours. Now that it’s on PS4, this title is the perfect company to prepare us for Rainbow Skies.

SideQuest Studios' re-release isn't all that different from its past iterations, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. The world is still as expansive and pretty as ever, although a lot of its niggling flaws have found their way into this edition, too. However, this is still a solid adventure that promises oodles of gameplay and sports a satisfying battle system, so fantasy fans could do far worse than invest their hard-earned gold in Rainbow Moon.

Rainbow Moon is not a good choice for people who are looking for a narrative, but for fans of the old school, punishingly difficult, hardcore JRPGs, this is a nice throwback with an awful lot of raw gameplay behind it.

If Rainbow Moon was a free browser game, I would say it was an acceptable first attempt. As a console release costing actual money, I cannot recommend it. It’s slow, dull, uninteresting, has no memorable moments or characters and is derivative of better games. This game should have stayed on the dark side of the Rainbow Moon.
