My most recent @Entertainium review covered a game which I found to be a pleasant surprise - Spitfire Interactive's superhero-based turn-based tactics game Capes.

Capes lacks the epic grandeur of XCOM 2 or the sheer scale of Midnight Suns, and some may rue the lack of a strategic layer. Nevertheless, Spitfire Interactive have delivered some extremely engaging battles in a new, likeable superhero setting. Plus, there is something to be said for a tactics game which can be tackled in a shorter time. All fans of the genre should definitely check out this superheroic showdown.

Even as a person who is almost entirely uninterested in superheroes, Capes held my attention throughout. It has a quite novel take on turn-based tactics, and its missions are consistently challenging. It's very much worth a look.



About a week ago I beat South Park: The Stick of Truth after it sat on my backlog since 2016

To keep it brief, I loved it - the Obsidian magic on top of South Park's humor make for a memorable, hilarious, tightly made and entertaining RPG adventure. Was a bit shorter than I expected, and missing some of the Chinpokomon meaning having to go through the game again is a little annoying, but they feel like minor gripes on the grand scale of a game I enjoyed every moment of



A couple of arcade 1-credit clears: Fighting Vipers 2 is a chaotic, fun 3D fighter with some oddball features like breaking character "armor". And then Fit of Fighting is a truly dank bootleg of Art of Fighting which adds more playable characters and takes away a lot of other things (like sprite scaling, smooth framerate, sensible hit detection...)

I've been looking through my spreadsheet of arcade games, cataloging ones to consider for 1cc purposes. Given the recent clears of F-1 Dream, Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition, Fighting Vipers 2, and Fit of Fighting you can probably guess which letter I'm on...
