- Capes has loads of personality and offers a genuinely fresh experience thanks to new ideas in structure and an emphasis on characters and story. I absolutely loved the reworked and superior post-patch experience from start to finish, and have no problems recommending it to tactics fans craving something besides the usual medieval or military fare. My hat is off to the team for putting in what must have been a huge amount of work and ultimately saving the day — the effort was well worth it.
Brad Gallaway · Sep 26, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Capes to naprawdę ciekawa propozycja dla miłośników turowych gier akcji, ale niestety poza rozgrywką, nic innego nie będzie w stanie utrzymać was przed ekranem na dłużej.
Igor Chrzanowski · Aug 23, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - 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 stable performance on the Switch. However, the story becomes predictable despite initial attempts at subverting genre tropes, the gameplay often lacks oomph, the soundtrack is repetitive, and the presentation leaves much to be desired.
Adrian Cozmuta · Aug 20, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - 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.
Nathan Hennessy · Jul 25, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - 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 that frankly just don’t feel heroic. If you are looking for heroic, tactical action you’d be better off looking elsewhere; this isn’t the game you’re looking for.
Terrence Johnson · Jun 12, 2024 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Flying into battle with a strong but satisfying difficulty curve, Capes sheds the fluff of more expansive titles to double down on the tactical acumen of an XCOM title. Missions are tough, thrilling and ultimately rewarding. Even if the story behind the carnage is lackluster and the spikes in difficulty can be positively mountainous, Capes proves you don’t need a popular licence to make a grand superhero worthy of acclaim.
Miles Thompson · Jun 06, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - 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 with it. Unfortunately, the presentation, especially the graphics, isn’t as good as the mechanics. This is a video game that emphasizes a thorough understanding of one’s team and a desire to execute a mission as well as possible. Revisiting levels to get more skill points is expected. Capes is challenging and complex and offers fans of the tactics space plenty of options to experiment and optimize.
Cosmin Vasile · Jun 06, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - 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.
Dan Stapleton · May 30, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - If Capes’ biggest crime is that it isn’t the most original game and that its fights require more thought than some might like, then I’d call Spitfire Interactive’s debut a hearty success. Within its deep tactics gameplay is plenty of exciting and creative party DNA to tool around with. It even has a surprisingly refreshing tone and take on the superhero genre that is the most authentic I’ve seen in a while. So why not go save the world? I promise a super duper good time awaits.
Charlie Kelly · May 29, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Capes mezcla XCOM y Marvel: Midnight Sons para ofrecer un RPG Táctico sólido, en el que las sinergias entre tu escuadrón heroico marcan la diferencia. Un título que reta pero que no sorprende lo suficiente.
