Keep in mind when Marvel’s Midnight Suns was coming to Swap? Us neither. The sport was introduced as “now not deliberate” for the Nintendo hybrid in Might of final yr, however now a brand new hero has risen to fill the void within the superhero turn-based realm.
Capes can be hovering onto Swap this Might, and whereas it won’t pack in fairly as many recognisable faces because the aforementioned 2K venture (there is no Spidey or Wolverine to be seen right here) it is good to see that the Swap is not less than included on this superhero team-up.

Like Midnight Suns, Capes is an XCOM-meets-superheroes mash-up, the place you may be choosing a staff of supers, levelling up their powers, and placing them to the check in turn-based tactical battles to avoid wasting the day. It won’t have the prettiest visuals on the market, but when the unique characters can all have the distinctive flares as we see with Rebound within the above trailer, we think about that there is a good quantity of enjoyable available right here.
