I genuinely like this more than Midnight Suns. Why? ... Marvel's game is plagued with unskippable cutscenes, stupid comments from characters that don't even fit what's happening in the game, strange pathing issues through a base hub that pings you alerts for meaningless drivel every time you're back, and just generally frustrating time-wasting nonsense between the game's actual fun parts - the missions. Capes on the other hand has a bunch of really cool integrations that make it stand out: 1. Every team member (cape) has unique interactions with every other cape. These are almost all unique and provide new and interesting ways to interact with the missions, and there's so much they enable you to do that you sort of discover as you go. 2. Missions have specific goals, *and* capes have specific goals, and they all award additional points (or secret stuff!) for completing them. Thus, you can take on more difficult challenges and play the game more tactically, and you're rewa...

About the Game
Twenty years ago, the supervillains won.
Since then, they’ve created a dystopian city where developing super powers is a crime. Nobody has managed to slow them down, until now.
Capes is a turn based superhero strategy game where you build a team of heroes and fight to take back the city.
Played across a series of campaign and patrol missions, choose to push forward with the story or take the time to explore the side missions and unlock more heroes, earn skill points and complete challenges, and learn more about your heroes lives.

Recruit new heroes with a range of unique powers and abilities. Every hero plays differently, and requires a fresh approach to their powers and abilities.
Learning and exploiting each hero's unique play style will build their power in combat allowing them to unleash their personal tide turning Ultimates.

Exciting, heroic, turn based combat to test your strategic skills. Team ups and positioning matter, unlocking new ways to approach every enemy type and supervillain you encounter.
Capes combat isn't based around random numbers or lurking behind cover. Power doesn't make you invulnerable, far from it. Your choices will make the difference between victory and defeat.

Take up to 4 heroes to work together in each mission. Each hero gains a unique team up ability from each of their allies, allowing them to work together to take advantage of their unique powers.

Level up your heroes to gain access to new abilities and powerful upgrades.
Use Skill Points acquired from completing objectives and challenges to unlock their powers.

Complete collections of hero specific challenges during missions to earn bonus Skill Points and unlock optional missions that give a deeper insight into each of the heroes.

User Reviews
Lots of fun if you *know* you enjoy tactical, turn-based squad games with light RPG elements. It feels pretty linear but the challenges are fun and the variety of missions keeps it fresh and difficult.
I enjoy turn based games like Xcom but this one is kind of slow moving and more about throwing a ton of enemies at you and puzzling it out IMO. There are no missed hits small arenas and controls are not to my liking. Just OK and better out ones to play.
