| 2 + 4 | C.W.Richeson | Capes. Capes provides a GM-less group storytelling experience while retaining competitive game mechanics that essentially involve gambling story control elements on whether the other players can create scenes so cool you'll do anything to win. [ Read Review ] |
| 2 + 5 | matthijs | Capes. Capes is a superhero RPG with no GM. The rules are, in a way, really great - they do what the designer wants them to do, and do so elegantly and smoothly. However, I don’t like what they do.

| 0 / 10 | Zachary The First | About time for a rewrite? |
| 3 / 10 | Simple Man | This game seems more mechanically bound to what is going on around the table rather than what is going on in the game, which I believe is quite counterintuitive. As a superhero game, it lacks support for it's genre. As a storytelling game, it is somewhat hard to understand, and once I did, I realized I didn't want it. |
