capes game review

That Capes game, huh? Heard some folks talkin’ ’bout it down at the market. Sounds like a real doozy. This old lady ain’t much for them video games, but I heard enough to tell ya what I think. It’s one of them turn-based strategy things, like that checkers game my grandson used to play, but with superheroes. I guess Capes game review is kinda like my job now.

Seems like the bad guys, them villains, they done took over the whole dang place. They run the streets, makin’ all the rules. Kinda like that time old man Johnson tried to say his rooster was the mayor. Didn’t end well for him, neither. These Capes, they gotta fight back, take back what’s theirs. Sounds like a mess, if you ask me.

I heard them talkin’ ’bout some “Showdown” thing. Sounds like a real hootenanny. Happened twenty years back, they say. Most of the good guys, them heroes, they either kicked the bucket or just plain disappeared. Vanished like a fart in the wind. Left the whole city, this King City place, to the wolves. Or, well, to this “Company” bunch. They’re the big shots now, I reckon. The boss of all.

• Them heroes in Capes all got different powers, I hear.
• One can bounce around like a rubber ball, ‘nother one’s tough as nails. They call that one “Facet” or something like that.
• They gotta work together, these Capes, use their powers smart-like.

The story starts kinda slow, like waitin’ for a pot to boil. But then it gets goin’, like a runaway mule. Lots of fightin’, lots of plannin’. You gotta be real careful, or them villains will get ya. These young’uns, they’re callin’ it a turn-based strategy RPG. Whatever that means. Sounds complicated. I heard it’s like XCOM, but I don’t know what that is. Just some fancy words I guess. Anyway, if you don’t like fighting games, then maybe this Capes game is not good for you.

They got these special things in the game, too. Somethin’ ’bout blood and cussin’. You can turn it on or off, like a light switch. And you can change the colors, too. Good for folks who can’t see too good, I suppose. The game, Capes, it does have some pretty colors. My grandson told me that it’s for disabled people. Well, that’s nice of them, isn’t it? It’s good to be kind.

This Capes game, it ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. There’s some serious stuff, fightin’ and danger, and whatnot. Kinda like real life. I remember there’s this time when them Johnson boys got into a scuffle down by the creek… Nothin’ good ever comes from fightin’, I always say. But sometimes, you gotta stand up for what’s right. Even if it means gettin’ your hands dirty.

Seems like a lot of these young folks these days are playin’ these video games. Spendin’ hours starin’ at them screens. Back in my day, we played outside. We climbed trees, we caught fireflies. We didn’t need no fancy gadgets to have fun. But I guess times are changin’. And I think kids these days don’t go out much. What a shame. Capes seems to be a good game for them.

This Capes game, it’s got a story to it. A real story, with characters and plot and all that. Like a book, but you get to play it. I guess that’s what these young’uns are always sayin’ is the “narrative”, this Capes game has a great narrative. Seems kinda interestin’, even for an old lady like me. Makes you think about right and wrong, good and evil. The kinda things that matter, you know?

You gotta use your brain in this game, I hear. Gotta plan your moves, think ahead. Just like when you’re plantin’ your garden. You gotta know when to plant, when to water, when to harvest. Otherwise, you ain’t gonna get nothin’ but weeds. So in this Capes game, you don’t just rush in there like a bull in a china shop. You gotta be smart.

Capes sounds like a real thinker’s game to me. It is a good game. All that thinkin’ and fightin’, sounds like a lot of work, not fun at all. But some people like it, and who am I to judge? I hope my grandson will like this Capes game. It is his birthday soon.
