Runbow is an action party game with a unique art style and a never-before seen colour mechanic that will keep you running back for more. Platforms and obstacles appear and disappear as the background colour changes, so if you can’t see something, it doesn’t exist. Whether you're playing alone or with friends, Runbow is fast, frantic, and a lot of fun. Players can race against each other in The Runbow Run, or go head to head in a number of different modes including King of the Hill and Arena to name a few. Use the Wii U GamePad to become the malevolent ColourMaster controlling the colours and the obstacles in the level, or tackle our toughest game mode, The Bowhemoth, a 30+ minute platforming challenge that will put the patience and skill of even the toughest players to the test. If dozens of game modes, hundreds of unlockable costumes, and a crazy, colourful gaming challenge sounds like fun, then you better get ready to Runbow! Read less

Review V1CGaming 1/5 · Jan 29, 2025

Ultimately, Runbow disappoints. Single-player is a pretty traditional and unimaginative series of levels that only major platforming fans will maybe enjoy. And online is a hit or miss (mostly miss) collection of modes that is fun for a little while, but falls under the shadow of the Wii U’s insufficient online multiplayer ecosystem.

Challenging Fun

This game's combination of devious level design and fantastic sound track really delighted me. The campaign mode is far more robust than I ever would have expected for a "party game". I only played through the main path but there's a pretty impressive amount of levels to choose from. The pure multiplayer party mode is a lot of chaotic fun …

This game's combination of devious level design and fantastic sound track really delighted me. The campaign mode is far more robust than I ever would have expected for a "party game". I only played through the main path but there's a pretty impressive amount of levels to choose from. The pure multiplayer party mode is a lot of chaotic fun as well. Overall, Runbow succeeds as both a single player platforming challenge as well as a goofy party game.
