Say hello to Spitfire Interactive.
Capes is a new turn-based strategy RPG from Spitfire Interactive, a new studio founded by former Hand of Fate devs at Defiant Development.
The Brisbane-based studio plans to release the title in early 2023 on Windows PC via Steam.
“Return to the Golden Age where heroes saved the day for fame and glory and villains concocted schemes in glorified games of cops and robbers… until it wasn’t fun anymore,” Spitfire said about its new title. “One dark day, the villains truly won, brutally wiping humanity’s protectors off the face of the planet. After nearly two decades of villains running the world and instilling a fear of superpowers, a new generation of heroes are ready to stop the filth of crime from spreading or die trying.
“Take center stage in turn-based tactical battles, rescuing reluctant citizens trapped by dangerous debris, each in different situations best handled by specific units. Traverse the battlefield on foot or via teleportation to draw the attention of goons and create openings for teammates. Upgrade efficiencies and stats after each mission, before readying for the next bout.”
“I started my career writing on Freedom Force alongside Ken Levine, so this feels like a return to where my journey began,” said Morgan Jaffit of Spitfire Interactive. “My team and I want to explore the ‘darker side of every coin’ and we have the best people possible to do it.”
Defiant Development closed its doors back in 2019.
Capes is planned for a Q1 2023 release on Windows PC via Steam.
