    Turn-based superhero games are fun in concept. Capes has almost no shortage of fun. It' just difficulty level of the game rises very sharply and all of a sudden and forces you to do the same things and grind the same places.

    If you’re into the idea of a superhero-flavored turn-based tactical RPG, I can happily report that Capes won’t let you down. It brings powers into combat in sensible ways, and goes the extra mile of making sure things like cooperation between heroes is represented properly too. There are aspects of it that could use more polish, and you can feel where the budget perhaps wasn’t up to the ambition, but the meat of the game delivers quite nicely.
  3. With its comic book-style narrative and fun dialogue, Capes is one of the games that will delight turn-based strategy game enthusiasts on Nintendo Switch.

    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 growing roster of heroes on each turn to help you save King City from the nefarious Company. Even a predictable plot doesn't undermine how well-balanced and fun Capes is to play. Strategy and comic book fans will find plenty to enjoy here.
