A review code was kindly provided by Forever Entertainment on behalf of Nijiiro Dragon. We thank them for allowing us to cover something they’ve worked so hard on.

Whether they’re cool or cute, I love dragons. So I was excited to play Fiz and the Rainbow Planet, an adorable 2.5D action platformer with dragons. While you start the game with Fiz, you unlock additional dragons as you progress through the stages.

There are 6 “stages,” which each contain 3 “acts”/levels, a boss, and a hidden treasure for you to find. Levels are not timed in Normal Mode, which is the only option available until you’ve cleared Normal Mode. Despite this – and the colorfully cute graphics that might make you think otherwise – the game can actually be fairly challenging (but not unreasonably so).

You unlock a new dragon with each stage, and you can switch between them at will. They each have different regular attacks as well as a special ability. 3 out of the 6 playable dragons have scratching type regular attacks that felt overly similar, which was somewhat disappointing. But the way we can manipulate the environment by switching between dragons is interesting and fun.

I enjoyed surfing across the water with the water dragon, triple jumping with the fire dragon, and hovering with the grass dragon. The dragons also have their own strengths and weaknesses; 2 of them drown in water, while the water dragon is more affected by electricity traps. Some enemies can only be destroyed using a specific dragon’s special ability, and if they catch you you’ll have to struggle out of their grip.

There’s even “dimensional sanctuary areas” that make the environment appear more 3D, which is a neat optical experience. And towards the end you’ll encounter areas where the environment shifts and rotates. Once you’ve managed to make your way through all the enemies and environmental hazards in a stage’s 3 acts, you’ll fight that stage’s boss.

The dragons offer hints at the top of the screen to help you figure out how to handle the bosses. Even using the right dragon and abilities you may still find them a little challenging. I got frustrated with some of the later bosses, but they’re quite manageable once you figure out the right strategies.

After finishing the game in Normal Mode, you unlock Time Attack Mode and Extra Mode. You can also play mini games (like fishing) on the main menu.

Fiz and the Rainbow Planet offers a decent amount of content at a reasonable price. It’s got a basic story that explains why the dragons are going on this adventure, the graphics are charming, and the music track for each level is upbeat and fun. I think that both kids and adults could enjoy this; it’s not too easy but it’s also not hard enough to unnecessarily frustrate the player.
