Tactical superhero team-building RPG with deck-building mechanics and mission-based combat, published by Daedalic Entertainment in 2024.

Capes is a modest but mechanically sound indie title earning $1.16k/mo residual revenue against a $166k lifetime net. The 70% positive rating and tactical depth attracted a core audience, but mainstream visibility remains limited. Opportunity exists for a publisher repositioning it toward tabletop/card-game enthusiasts or reviving it with modest content drops; the single-digit player base and 9+ months of dev silence suggest the studio may be receptive to acquisition or co-publishing expansion. Most realistic play: publishing.

• Risk: Superhero tactics genre is competitive (Midnight Suns, XCOM-likes); Capes occupies a narrow middle ground that has not yet resonated at scale.
• Risk: Studio is small (2 titles, Australian indie) with no public communication in 9+ months, raising questions about capacity for post-launch support or DLC development.
• Risk: Median playtime of 24 hours suggests limited replayability or endgame loop, which may explain near-zero active players despite positive sentiment.
