Turn-Based Superhero Strategy Game ‘Capes’ Releases May 29th

by Sage Ashford

Developer Spitfire Interactive and publisher Daedalic Entertainment have confirmed the release date of their superhero strategy game, Capes.  Set in a world where the superheroes lost to the villains decades ago, Capes features a collection of heroes fighting to reclaim their city.

 

Looking like an indie version of Firaxis’ Marvel Midnight SunsCapes sees players gradually unlock more heroes and gain new powers and abilities, all while learning about the backstories of each hero. While it’s lacking in appropriately cool superhero costumes for the occasion, the game does look like it’s trying to do something fun with its own universe of heroes.

Capes releases for PlayStation and Xbox consoles, Nintendo Switch, Steam, and the Epic Games Store for $39.99, while the game’s special “King City” Edition will be available for $44.99.
