Capes: A Super Tactical RPG or A Super Flop

Ойындар

In this video we'll take a look at Capes, the new Super Hero tactics rpg from Spitfire Interactive and Daedalic Entertainment. Capes features a dark and gritty comic book world where heroes are outlawed and the bad guys have won. But is a tactics rpg the right genre for this story? Does the game stack up to other tactics rpgs? We'll find out right now!

    This needed to be a game with some type of character creation options…

    Yeah, there's a lot of potential with this theme in a tactics game, but Capes missed the mark for me.

    ​​@@89Gamesagreed. this had to be more creative if they arent bringing the lore and characters from marvel or dc. definitely moves to the back of my list. now do you think i should pick up CARDS RPG or fell seal? I've whittled it down to those 2 for my next. crown wars looks interesting but isnt on the switch yet. tbh i wish marvels midnight suns made it to the switch to scratch my hero itch.

    @@TheRobversion1 honestly I think fell seal would be the better value. $40 is still steep for Cards but I'll keep playing and let you know more once I've played some more

    @@89Games yeah i think i'm convinced i'll get cards. Its just a question of when because i'm not happy with the price for the amount of content. For sure though, i enjoy the art style, music and gameplay more of cards. I am interested in the customization of fell seal but i hate the art style. How would you assess fell seal's story? thats why someone else told me just get fell seal now since its just $30 and pick up cards rpg later. i am looking at marvel ultimate alliance 3 now as looking at capes made me hanker to play a hero game which i havent played in a long time. Its more of an arpg than a trpg but i definitely enjoyed the earlier iterations in xmen legends 1 and 2 and MUA 1. didnt play MUA 2.

    Hey 89. Looked up sea of stars and played the demo but the story didnt hook me. The combat didnt scratch my itch for customization either. I got more engaged in star ocean second story's demo more both in story and combat. Did you play that? I know you dont do it for your channel but i think it would be cool to come out with list vids once in awhile. Like your top 10 fave trpgs with you talking about the game for 3-5m each. Or like top 5 upcoming trpgs to watch out for. I think i'm almost decided on my next game already and its going to me marvel ultimate alliance 3. I'm still picking up CARDS RPG but waiting for a sale. Fell seal will be moved to after MUA 3 unless something new catches my fancy. Another jrpg recommended to me was octopath traveler 2. Have you played that?

    I played the demo of Star Ocean second, but didn't get any further than that. Mostly cause I was busy with other things at the time. Never played octopath traveler 2, but I did play a bit of the first one. I haven't had much success with list videos, though I probably will do some in the future again. I'm really hoping something interesting is revealed during the Nintendo Direct in June.

    @@89Games yeah i dont think i'm going to like star ocean 2 past the demo. I dont know if you remember i told you before i dont have patience anymore for open world/lots of exploration and talk to npcs stuff. UO handled it well due to the speed up button (and minimal need to talk to npcs). Same with TS having small exploration maps. Dont see much on the horizon in the trpg space for the switch. We got our gems early in the year. I'd love an FFT reborn or front mission 3 announcement. Crown wars is still on my docket but i think i'm probably going back to older games like fell seal or out of the trpg space (like going after MUA 3 soon). I'm.considerinf playing divinity original sin 2 as well.

    Spot on review. The game is very much lacking some finesse. It definitely has potential, though. If the devs have the time and resources to put into it, there are little things that could go a long way to improve the experience.

    Fair review and seals my decision on the game as i trust your take. I was already apprehensive with what i saw before your vid as i told you before. Now its just affirmed. The switch needs a proper marvel or dc game. Have you played marvel ultimate alliance 3?
