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.

The reason people call this a puzzle game instead of a strategy game and the reason I do not recommend it: Skill points are rewarded to level up your units based off of completion of mostly optional objectives i.e Do

Combat mechanics are exactly what you might hope for in an X-Com/super hero hybrid. The fights are fun and creative. Unfortunately, the reward system is based on ambiguous requirements (don't take damage from a gun,

I don't dislike Capes, but I want to like it more than I do... Pros: - The 2D art is really dynamic and fun - Mindfire's costume is very cool - Solid voice acting - Solid enough writing. I won't say it never falls into

Capes is the rare superhero game that actually understands tactics, which already puts it ahead of half the genre. The turn-based combat is properly smart. This isn’t a “click ability, win fight” situation—you need to

As soon as I realized Capes requires you to play each mission in a very specific way or you'll fail to complete the bonus objectives, I decided the game isn't for me. The unfortunate thing about that is you need to

Hard to believe the people who made Capes are the same who, long ago, made the top-notch Freedom Force. I'm not thumbing down because custom creation is absent. Nor is it because the charm is gone, along with flight and
