Evaluation
Capes launched on May 29, 2024 as a finished product from a small four-person studio. Within two days of launch, the developers published a roadmap (May 31, 2024) outlining planned post-launch improvements, describing the game explicitly as "a finished product" while committing to further polish. They followed through with a significant Game Difficulty & Player Freedom update on June 28, 2024, adding new difficulty modes, quality-of-life improvements, and mission rebalancing. The most recent major content update, "Holo Danger," shipped on August 19, 2024, adding four new combat missions. The only DLC on record is the Supporter Pack, which released on launch day and is purely a cosmetic/support item. The most recent developer news post (November 6, 2025) is from publisher Daedalic Entertainment promoting an entirely separate game (Bloodgrounds) with a cross-promotion bundle — it contains no announcements of new Capes content. No future Capes content has been announced, no unreleased DLC is listed, and the developer has not communicated any ongoing development plans since the Holo Danger update in August 2024. With three post-launch content drops across roughly three months following release, the update activity has since gone quiet — the last Capes-specific communication was the Holo Danger update on August 19, 2024. The game appears to be content-complete.

About this 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.
