Rainbow Skies on Nintendo Switch is a technically competent but otherwise untouched port of a middling game. It often looks and sounds the part of a grandiose turn-based tactical RPG, but the aesthetics are window-dressing for a gameplay loop whose positive elements – namely the brisk battles and easy-to-understand mechanics – are slowly undermined by an unsatisfying grind. It’s fun for a few hours and better suited to shorter handheld sessions, but I’d wager it’ll eventually wear down even those who enjoy grindy progression. Although it ditched the microtransactions of its predecessor, Rainbow Skies still feels like a game you’d expect to see on mobile; the type happy to come across as unrewarding and soulless so long as it pushes you to spend.
