Capes, the newest title from Germany's Daedalic Entertainment, has debuted this week, along with 8 other gamers which you can see in the New Games section. The creators of the newly-released game had surprises in store before welcoming players into its futuristic city.
Publishers recently unveiled another playable character for Capes. In a quick, 1-minute video trailer, they introduced released Ignis. She is described as an enigmatic on-camera host and personality in the local music and culture world.
On the battlefield, Ignis transforms into a fiery force. She can incinerate enemies and empower her allies with scorching attacks. A preview of her devastating attacks was also shown in Capes' latest gameplay trailer.
"She turns up the heat on her allies when they team up with her, adding fire damage to their attacks," developers said.
Capes launched on PC and consoles on May 29th. It was developed by Spitfire Interactive. The hero-based action game uses turn-based strategy combat. In it, players assemble a team of four heroes to fight and liberate a dystopian city that had fallen under supervillain control.
Their mission is to uncover the truth behind the supervillain's Operator Alpha's Enhancement Program. Aside from the main campaign, Capes also features side missions designed to not only to help boost the heroes' abilities. But they also provide backstories for each one.
"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," developers said.
Capes can be played on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5/4, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One.
In the meantime, Daedelic announced a new edition for Capes. Named the King City Edition, it contains 'a treasure trove of bonus content.' It included a 50-page art book showcasing the world of Capes. //
