Hero vs. Villan Strategy RPG Capes announced. A new generation of Hand of Fate developers, where new generation heroes are up in the world dominated by evil

Developer Spitfire Interactive announced the strategic RPG Capes on August 17. The compatible platform is PC (Steam), which will be distributed in the first quarter of 2023.

Capes is a strategic RPG with a worldview that arranges classical American comics in a modern style. The stage is the world where the hero and Villan are competing. In the past, the complete victory of Villan has gone away to protect people, and the era of evil has been dominating the world for nearly 20 years. Under such circumstances, a new generation of young heroes will be born, and will fight to end the wrongdoing of Villan.

The gameplay of this work adopts a turn-based strategic battle. We send instructions to each unit to rescue the captive citizens. Transfer to the field is not only on foot but also on teleport. A strategy such as paying attention to enemy units and poking a gap for friends will be the key to victory. Each hero has a super power and can fight by combining them. For example, it is possible to attack like throwing crystals covered with thorns. After the battle, we will upgrade various statuses and proceed to the next mission.

In addition, the character design of the hero seems to be pushed out to the front. It is said that not only the superpowered superpower is different, but also races, gender, and backgrounds such as hopes and dreams that are held vary depending on the characters.

Spitfire Interactive, which works on this work, is a studio based in Australia, a newly established Defiant Development staff known in the RPG Hand of Fate series, which combines card games and 3D actions. Defiant Development has a de facto closure in 2019 (related articles).

This announcement appeals the return of the veteran staff of the studio to the front stage. Director Morgan Jaffit is a feeling that he has returned to the origin while looking back on the time he worked on FREEDOM FORCE with Ken Levine at the IRATIONAL GAMES (now Ghost Story Games), known for the Bio Shock series. And comment. And Spitfire Interactive says that he wants to explore another dark aspect of everything, and that the staff appropriate for it has gathered.

Capes will be distributed for PC (Steam) in the first quarter of 2023.
