About
Rainbow Moon is a tactical role-playing game developed by SideQuest Studios and published by Eastasiasoft. It was released through the PlayStation Network for PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4. The game borrows heavily from the dungeon crawling genre while the player traverses the game world, but incorporates elements from tactical role-playing games when enemies are engaged in battle.
A successor titled Rainbow Skies was released in June 2018 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PS Vita.
›Story
Cursed by his arch-rival, Baldren finds himself warped to Rainbow Moon. And to make things worse, Baldren isn't only stranded in an unknown place; he has also opened a dimensional gate out of which troops of monsters are crawling, turning this once peaceful planet into a real hell. There's only one thing for our brave hero to do: He has to seal the gate and warp himself back to his home planet.
