Capes

Interesting concept for the modern gamer, but not a game made for me.

thanks for woke content warning; I will not buy.

A number of preventable issues plague Capes ruining what could've been a fun new Turn-based contender in the genre. I had high expectations, like many of us did, however, modern social/political influences and lazy art design destroyed any hope this game had of being a hit. Let's start with the graphic and artistic design of the characters - as this is one of the more glaring issues players will notice. Superheroes are amazing and need to look like it. Capes' art design is about as bland as can be. Costumes are non-descript and the first main Villain is so poorly designed, graphically, that it almost feels like place-holder art. The heroes aren't much better. The final issue with Capes is how heavily it appears to have been influenced by the developers' desire to appeal to modern "woke" sensibilities in the form of heavy-handed catering to DEI foolishness. I could see the insidious influence of woke kowtowing when the game has you go find a 3rd member of your team and hilariously enough they were in a wheelchair. Nothing wrong with a wheelchair-bound hero (See: Prof. Xavier of the X-men) but in this case it was obviously done to suit an agenda. When will developers realize that no one wants this or wants to see political or social knee-bending in their games? There's a reason consumers came up with the phrase, "Go woke, go broke" and this game beautifully illustrates that point as it was a huge deserved flop. If you can get this game on a huge discount it might be a bit fun if you can keep from throwing up at the blatant DEI infestation. But really, games that do this type of thing should be avoided and boycotted. A final note, the writing itself is fairly bland and insipid as well. It's annoying to see some higher-scored reviews from websites like crappy IGN or PC Gamer when they clearly ignored the game's many, many issues. More proof that modern gaming sites are corrupt and pointless. SMH Avoid.
