Part 2.5D adventure puzzler, part RPG experience, full-on wholesome creature capturer, Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan is one of those games which instantly stands out. The best thing about it though is not just found in the brilliant use of colour, or via the chance to head out on an adventure of a lifetime, it’s the fact that it’s out right now on Xbox, PlayStation and PC.
Available to purchase and download right now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S (unfortunately not yet optimised for Series X|S as this could well pop even more when it is), PS4 and PC through Steam, Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan is the creation of Manavoid Entertainment and Skybound Games – and it promises to deliver the player a super-rich, highly colourful adventure.
Priced at £21.74, Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan proves that not all heroes look the same; some deal in the fantastical use of colour. It’s here where Rainbow Billy thrives, sent into a world that is ripe for exploration as you are left to solve puzzles, befriend the most unique of creatures and, ultimately, restore all the colour to the world.
Sold as being family friendly and openly accessible, Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan will have you going deep into caverns, to the tips of various coves and around a world in which empathy and the chance to make a difference is always at the fore. By doing this you’ll be able to help Rainbow Billy translate some of their colour to those in need of it, before creating a team of folk all with the same mission.

We reckon Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan could well be a bit of an indie hit. Our full review is currently in the works and will be able to confirm whether or not that is the case. In the meantime you can grab a download of the game from the store of your choosing – the Xbox Store for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S players, the PlayStation Store for those on the other side of that diminishing and fast-becoming-irrelevant format wars, and on PC through good old Steam.
