The YT-er Christopher Odd is doing a playthrough of Capes atm with two episodes so far (he's also doing an XCOM: Enemy Within run atm, which is quite nostalgic).

Hmnm, looking at the game being played after a few episodes, the tactical combat looks like it might be quite good, and the main gimmick (the team abilities) still looks like it might be quite interesting to play with. But since the demo the devs have gotten some fick-lipped London nigger to voice the first, Black character, there's a Pajeet character and a lesbian (and possibly also a gay) relationship has been introduced already, related to the first few characters' backstories. The cutscenes (using the in-game assets) aren't so bleakly awful as they were in the demo, they're better presented; the cartoon conversation segments at base are the same.

IOW, it has a Chimera Squad "rainbow coalition" kind of feel about it, right off the bat. Disappointing and annoying that this is potentially another nose-holding exercise if you want some new, mildly interesting tactical combat, but there it is.
