A new strategy game is scheduled to launch on Steam this year in which you have to use superheroes and their abilities wisely in order to win.
What kind of game is this? The game Capes is a strategy game on Steam that is reminiscent of XCOM at first glance. The game is turn-based and requires the clever use of your heroes’ abilities.
In the game, you fight as superheroes who have found new courage against villains who came to power 20 years ago. In order for you to succeed, you have to recruit new allied superheroes. To make you stronger, you will receive experience points for the heroes after each mission, which you can use to skill them.
Additionally, each superhero gives their allied heroes an ability when deployed, making the right combination even more important. Almost like the Powerpuff Girls.

Who is the game suitable for? On the Steam page of the turn-based superhero game, the developer states that the superpowers in capes do not make the heroes invincible. Tactical positioning, team structure and the right decisions determine the success of the missions.
Placing your units behind cover and pressing fire shouldn’t be enough to win. So if you’re more into simple strategy games, you might get a little frustrated with Capes. It is also important to mention that the heroes can be leveled, which should make missions easier.
How do the RPG elements work in Capes? After each completed mission, the heroes receive experience points, which can be used to level up the heroes. For each level-up and in bonus missions, the heroes receive skill points that they can distribute. An ultimate ability can also be unlocked per hero.
In addition to the main missions, the game also offers side missions to level up the characters even further. If you like strategy games like
