Capes

"Capes tells a fun and interesting, if not original story, set in the world of superpowered people. Of more significance is that it takes a big swing with its tactical turn-based gameplay and hits it out of the park. Fans …"

"Capes has several good ideas that it grapples with, although its potential is not fully realized. The title impresses through its solid tactical combat, compelling characters backed up by mission-based characterization, challenging action that will make you think, and a …"

"I love Capes. It’s a great game and it’s staggering just how much they got right, especially just how gripping the characters and narrative were. A massive shout-out to the writers for that. That said, it’s significantly lacking in a …"

"Capes mostly overcomes its cliches, lack of customization, and limited scope thanks to its strategic gameplay that will test the mettle of even the most hardened of turn-based tactics veterans."

"Capes lacks the epic grandeur of XCOM 2 or the sheer scale of Midnight Suns, and some may rue the lack of a strategic layer. Nevertheless, Spitfire Interactive have delivered some extremely engaging battles in a new, likeable superhero setting. …"

"While Capes might be less Avengers and more West Coast Avengers in terms of its presentation and budget, underneath those plastic faces lies a really fun turn-based tactics game. The story may not reach the highs of comic book greatness …"

"Capes is an excellent foundation for what could be a fantastic tactics franchise. Thanks to its excellent mechanics, squad-based dynamics, and progression, Spitfire Interactive&s;s debut game will no doubt find plenty of love from those who appreciate small-scale strategy games …"

"If Capes&s; biggest crime is that it isn&s;t the most original game and that its fights require more thought than some might like, then I&s;d call Spitfire Interactive&s;s debut a hearty success. Within its deep tactics gameplay is plenty of …"

"Overall, Capes is just fun. If you like XCOM but wanted your heroes to have more power from the get-go, Capes scratches that itch incredibly well. The by-the-numbers plot and somewhat-thin characters hold it back slightly, but the title is …"

"Capes is a solid turn-based strategy title that has some great ideas in the fight, and more often than not keeps things exciting."

"Capes offers a refreshing take on the superhero genre that can captivate even those who aren&s;t fans of superheroes. The engaging storyline, unique characters, and challenging gameplay make it a game worth playing if you enjoy turn-based tactical games. Although …"

"Capes is clearly designed to appeal to anyone who has played and liked X-COM and its tactical puzzles. The game successfully moves the action to a universe featuring superheroes. I liked the theme, although the developers don’t do much new …"

"Capes is a clever and challenging tactics game with a clear love of the superhero comics that inspired it. And no one actually wears a cape."

"There are few turn-based strategy games, but I can say: few but good, and Capes falls into this category. It appears with its own identity in a theme that could become uninspired, and it uses several well-crafted strategies to establish …"

"Capes is the perfect game for those looking for a level of challenge similar to that of any XCOM. Fun, complex and colourful, at times the game becomes very difficult, requiring more and more attention from the player, but if …"

"Capes is a valiant effort at a relatively unique idea, one that I personally have wanted since I heard Midnight Sons would have a card-based attack system. It isn&s;t perfect, it could do with a little more polish, and it&s;s …"

"Those looking for a new superhero strategy game will get some enjoyment out of Capes, but could easily find themselves hoping there was more to it."

"Capes is a good enough game, but lacks the necessary distinction to go up, up and away."

"Capes is not an experience I can recommend. I liked most of the story, but the gameplay was very middling with missions and bosses that could either just be enjoyable, or straight-up frustrating or confusing. The game runs flawlessly, but …"

"If you’re into tactical strategy and super heroes, this may be a great match for you"

"Capes uses a clever twist on team skills and discrete abilities to offer a solid, tactical turn-based RPG evoking Bronze-Age era superhero tales."

"Capes isn’t so much a super-powered version of XCOM as it is a mediocre XCOM clone that happens to feature superheroes – and there is a difference, as this game illustrates."

"At the end of the day, Capes is a very serviceable tactical strategy game. A lot of the elements in terms of the gameplay come together well and provide a deep enough challenge to keep you engaged throughout the story …"

"Overall, the only thing I see missing is the lack of multiplayer support."

"Come for the satisfying, concentration-demanding turn-based tactical puzzles with a diverse and interesting roster. Reconsider your stay when the difficulty curve takes to the skies."

"An awkward story doesn&s;t hold Capes back from being one of the best turn-based strategy games of recent years."

"Sending your own superhero into the race is a brave move and, at least in terms of play, it really works here. There&s;s plenty of scope to come up with your own solutions, and figuring out the best strategy makes …"

"Capes has a really neat idea for sure, superheroes are still the hot thing and putting them in a tactical game is a cool idea. Unfortunately, the execution here was less than stellar; lackluster voice acting, dull combat, and heroes …"

"Capes is a good turn-based strategy game that brings some interesting ideas, but it stumbles on an imbalance in its combat and a lack of charismatic characters that prevent its story from achieving everything it could be."

"With its vibrant visuals, intricate gameplay mechanics and a narrative that both entertains and provokes thought, Capes sets itself up as a memorable addition to the superhero genre. While there are minor audio-visual sync issues and balance quirks in the …"

"Despite some visual shortfalls, Capes is a very solid turn-based strategy game that takes the best bits of XCOM 2 and gives it the superhero treatment. The tactical gameplay will have you thinking of the best way to position your …"

"A fun turn-based tactics game about superheroes. It&s;s not as beautiful as Midnight Suns, and its characters aren&s;t as likable. But tons of puzzle-like levels where you are supposed to effectively use your team&s;s strengths are very engaging."
