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.[3]

Originally a digital-only title, a limited physical run of the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita versions was released on August 19, 2016 through Limited Run Games.

On March 15, 2024, Rainbow Moon was released on the Nintendo Switch. [4]
