Press release:
HAMBURG, Germany, February 06, 2023.
The Hamburg-based (Germany) indie games publisher Daedalic Entertainment and Brisbane -based (Australia) indie games developer Spitfire Interactive, today announced with great excitement and delight that their Superhero-themed turn-based tactics game “Capes” is coming to PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) in 2023.

“Capes” was already in development from Spitfire Interactive for PC games. Still, with Daedalic Entertainment now publishing the game, the team is thrilled to be able to bring their tactical, turn-based game of superheroes battling to reclaim their city from the forces of evil to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox X/S as well.

A brand-new demo will be available during Steam Next Fest starting today and until February 13th.

Capes is a turn-based superhero strategy game where players assemble a team of unique heroes while fighting to take back their city, now controlled by evil despots. Twenty years ago, the supervillains won. Since then, they’ve created a dystopian city where developing superpowers is a crime and no one has dared oppose them. Until now!

Play across a series of dark and gritty campaigns and patrol assignments, push the story forward, or take time to explore with side missions that unlock more heroes. Complete challenges to earn skill points to increase your hero’s powers and abilities while you learn more about the hero’s lives and backstories.

FEATURES:

Be Mighty: Play as heroic protectors of the innocent, each with unique skills and powers. Master your hero and unleash devastating ultimate abilities!
Assemble Your Team: Select the right team for the right mission. Combat isn’t based on random numbers, so choose wisely to win the day!
Level Up: Complete challenging missions and side-quests to improve your heroes with new abilities and powerful upgrades!
