Hi! My name is Christopher Odd and I’ve been playing video games on the internet for a few years. I really enjoy a variety of games but generally lean towards games with a unique and engaging story (Bioshock, The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, The Last of Us etc), strategy/roguelike games (XCOM 2 War of the Chosen, Darkest Dungeon, etc), and RPGs (Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Dragon Age, etc). Of course, I am always looking for great indie games too!

"Learning on the job means they don't know how to train you." That is relatable irl for every job I've had.
Literally how they start people at my work, and it involves niche truck driving. "Got a license? Here are the keys, go get 'em Tiger", and it turns out exactly the way you'd imagine.
@@Daergarz Goddamn, I can't imagine how anything gets accomplished. I'm sorry you gotta deal with that.
@@elrapido5150 A lot of broken equipment, repair costs and so on. Showing someone the ropes for a day or two costs money, after all. Much better to have a truck down for over a quarter because it was ran into a viaduct.
The usual problem with mid-level managers having very little knowledge and common sense, but a lot of "great ideas".
This looks like it'll be the "XCOM with superheroes" that many wanted Midnight Suns to be. It certainly looks promising, let's hope it lives up to its promise.
I remember seeing the trailer for this game.
We need more original superhero games.
More superhero and Robot games
As somebody who found you through Midnight Suns, and watched all of it, and 100% the game myself, I clicked this so fast, and wishlisted this so hard! Keep up the good work, without overworking yourself.
I’ve been reluctant to play Midnight Suns because the dialogue part of the game looks to boring.
@@InRainbows287 That's very understandable. I've put it in about 270 hours in Midnight Suns myself and I think the combat is worth it. Also, you can pretty easily skip all the dialogue. In my opinion the story and character dialogue writing is pretty rough and unimpressive but gosh, the combat is top notch.
@InRainbows287 I still think you should at least try it out, even though imo the voice acting is really solid to me
Hmm I may go back and watch Midnight Suns since it seems so unlikely they'll remove Denuvo
@@InRainbows287 I can understand that. marvel fatigue is real. I do recommend looking into it on a discount at the very least
"I don't want to say that Capes is just like XCOM with super heroes"
Also - Video title "XCOM Combat with Superhero Abilities!!"
lol no hate, just found it kind of funny. Love the vids as always
Haha no worries, it’s one of those things like…many people will understand what XCOM combat means. It’s kinda become ubiquitous with tile based combat, but I agree that’s an oversimplification.
Well, that is correct.
He said that he does not want to say that Capes is *JUST* like XCOM with super heroes.
Meaning that Capes has more concepts than only this one.
@@ChristopherOdd This seems closer to XCOM: Chimera Squad, which is admittedly my most favorite turn based combat
@@kolosmenus in visual terms and turn order, yes. But chimera squad is still xcom
As someone who is deaf in one ear, never have I cursed the state of audio engineering more than when they figured out audio panning in video games and on audio recordings. Makes me feel like I'm missing half of the conversation everyone else gets to hear. It's an unfortunate situation. Le sigh. lol.
yeah, some games allow for mono audio output in their settings
There's an option for mono audio in the PS5 console settings at least.
There should be mono audio settings both for your device, whether you're watching this video or playing the game yourself
Select the Start button, then select Settings > Accessibility > Audio, and then switch on the Mono audio toggle.
@@SliceOfLifeAR ah, so this is global, it doesn't need each game to have their own option, that's good!
Congrats on getting the exclusive on Capes. That is quite an achievement and acknowledgement of your role in providing game-focused content. Great job!
The story seems very "X-Men meets XCOM 2." It's like you're monitoring Cerebro to get to the next mutant to pop up before the Hellfire Club or the Sentinels do---but there's the XCOM 2 angle of "the villains are in control of society, you gotta uncover and expose the horrible stuff they're doing." Doc even seems like kind of an Old Bradford figure.
Old Bradford crossed with Old Batman from Batman Beyond.
Pretty sure he's based on "the comedian" from watchmen. Same kind of facial hair and the smiley face pin
@@darkokat Very possible; Watchmen has been in my pile of stuff to read for years now, so I wouldn't know.
The game gives me major City of Heroes vibes (not in gameplay....) which i absolutely adore! I'm excited for it
I played the hell out of CoH..but it really wasn't solo friendly. Too many groups you couldn't pull apart.
Good for you, Mr. Odd, you deserve the exclusive! It looks like a game that will perfectly suit your style, Cape Commander😊
Hey Daedalic, I am an archery tag provider in Australia and hearing Archery Tag mentioned in a video games put a massive smile on my face, cant wait to play your game.
This reminds me a lot of Freedom Force (from Irrational Games) and it's sequel, which was essentially a real-time version of this game, but with a very 1960s Marvel kitschy vibe. If you like the idea of this game, you may want to seek out that one assuming it will still play on modern systems. Last I remember, the Steam version did not, but the GoG version did.
Funny thing about the steam version of that game: the reason it plays so badly is that it loads each individual asset in completely randomly, instead of in the order they’re supposed to be loaded in. So you end up with super wonky and unpredictable glitches. On mine, the camera won’t follow my character and I can’t interact with anything at all. Literally all I can do is click to move, and when I do, it moves me in the wrong direction.
@@Crunchatize_Me_Senpai It's been a long time, but that was my recollection. Just completely broken.
We love you Odd! Your content is spectacular and your idiosyncrasies make it all the more endearing. Hope the channel continues to prosper! Thanks for sharing these types of games; living vicariously through you is always a pleasure.
Been a subscriber for about 8/9 years at this point. Seeing the channel growth and success, seeing you get exclusives like this...pretty freakin' amazing.
This game looks like so much fun. Can't wait for this series.
Really lucky for me to be able to watch this one on your channel! Love the comic book aesthetic as well as the dark tone you mentioned. Everything looks really awesome and I'm eager to see how things develop with the heros, their powers and the missions. I like how Doc seems to have his super suit under his coat, I feel we might get to see it eventually. Lots of thanks for this amazing new adventure!!! 😁
Congrats on the recognition on it Odd, you deserve it 100%. Cant wait to see the whole series on this! 🎉
Odd! Super stoked to see you play this and the tactics you use! I’ll be playing it once it releases and couldn’t be more excited!!!
Very awesome to see you get this opportunity, couldn’t be more deserved Odd!! The game sounds and looks sweet, it’s brand new to me so I’m looking forward to the playthrough!
This is really cool. I like we now have two series to watch: Capes. which is a bit like Xcom, and Xcom. which is a bit like Capes.
Oh, I'm excited for this! I first came here for XCOM (wanted someone who loved playing the game), and stuck around for several other series. Now this combines XCOm with superheroes, so I'm hooked!
The fact that he told the facet character to man up, then later got dissed by said character by failing to back-stab is hilarious.
Odd you are on a serious roll. Xcom, Frostpunk 2 and now this new exclusive out of nowhere. Not normally a superhero fan but I’m loving this game. I’m impressed so far and can’t wait to see more.
Congrats on the exclusive debut, you've earned it. This game looks fun, kind of a unique take on the genre.
I appreciate the little details, like the Smiley Face pin on Doc and the reflective building glass.
All i can say is I hope they will be as " modder friendly" as XCOM 2 is. Think of all the heroes that could get added in years to come!
As someone who as watched for years! You deserve this. Congrats.
I loved watching your XCOM playthroughs, can't wait to watch this series. I'm looking forward to your tactical mind getting though this bad boy
Holy cow, can't wishlist this fast enough. Thanks for showing this off! I never heard of it until now.
Looks awesome! Just stumbled on your channel because of this video and I really like it. Super heroes are a cool subject to make a game around and I like how it's a strategy based combat system. I dig stuff like that. I'll definitely be checking out anything else you release on this game. Thanks for sharing it with us!
thanks for the content Odd, as usual love watching your videos. 5 minutes in I am already excited for this series
i was really excited for this already but this video really took that up a notch, can't wait!
Oh daaaaaam thats a nice hook for you and the channel. Congrats
love ur channel chris, hope to watch for years to come!!☺️
I hope so too!
Congrats, you deserve the recognition
Congratulations on the exclusive content!!! This is the best community on YT
This look pretty sick. Definitely excited for more!
This popped op on my youtube and i thought a xcom inspired game? Hell yes. I watched a bit and you got yourself a new subscriber cuss you have a very soothing voice to listen to and i just ❤ these kind of games so i see this as a win win 🎉🎉🎉
47:29 neat little detail is that he also picked up some of Facet's crystals for the attack
Wow, this game looks awesome. Thank you for showing it off!
Love your videos xcom vet watchedem all! Keep it up so gald you got this opportunity you deserve it!
Glad you got the exclusive, i really enjoy watching your videos.
Chris is the best ambassador I could imagine for a game like this!!
Idk if I would have known about this game without your video, I'll definitely be getting it!
They couldn't have picked anyone better for the exclusive! So pumped to get this AND XCom at the same time. The cats will also be pleased with the extra snuggle time!
This looks really good! I'm excited to see more.
I've never really been a fan of turn base games that have player/enemy timelines like this but this does look pretty cool. thanks for showcasing this game :)
Looks very promising, definitly wishlisted. Thank you for the video, going to the next one!
Been so ready for you to play this game
HUH
This looks promising!
Thx for the video!
looks great! looking forward for the next episodes!
Absolutely excited for this. Actually seen this game today on another channel talking about turn based games to look out for and then a pleasant surprise from one of my fave content creators. Always admire the hard difficulty as well! 2:14
29:11 LoL! it's like watching a Monkey stack boxes in order to get the Banana 🍌+ 🐵 = stack boxes on top of one another to reach the banana
dangling above their head 🤣 A trained Monkey could figure out this game before the guy 😆
That’s awesome that you got first crack at this.
Game looks awesome, I hope it holds up cause I definitely want it to be good and scratch my unique tactical game itch.
first video of yours that I've seen and you give off major radbrad vibes. Instant sub
Looks great. I remember a first look on this some years ago, but haven't seen a peep out of this game since. Nice to see the development of it has been going very well. This game seems to be very well polished.
Hell yeah, congrats on the deal man!
This is pretty awesome! Can't wait to see how it plays out.
Looks fun, looking forward to more :)
Thank you Odd and Thank you the Developer together you guys bring this awesome campaign to us and community.
It's awesome that you got the exclusive. We are all proud of you, even if we criticise your actions in-game, we watch because we enjoy your content, and don't mean anything bad by it.
Speaking of...I think you may be moving the teleporter too far away. I know she is weak but I think playing more to LOS stuff than running away is the thing.
But I'm super excited to see more of this, want to know what other heroes can do! I went back and watched your midnight suns run after finishing it myself.
I agree with Rebound being moved too far away. Didn't he mention in the first fight that enemies focus on the closer heroes?
@@halfrunt2166 yep, and after the tutorial we never saw him use that ability to block LOS either.
Great job on this video. Already interested in this game and not I'm absolutely certain I'm going to get it. Thanks!
Just read an article about this and was thinking you would play this and here it is! 2 days late because im busy and been watching your Divinity EE playthrough.
This looks pretty rad!
Congrats! Love seeing you play this kind of game; not at all surprised Daedelic wanted to give you such a cool sponsorship. (If we had their budget we'd do the same. 😆)
Love these videos showing off games, always nice to learn of something New you might like.
This looks very promising! Perfect choice for someone to get exclusive early access!
Id be so hype for a series of this!!
Saw this in the PS Store and was hoping you’d do a video or series on this so I could check it out. Sounded cool and I love the tactics based games like this, midnight Suns, Xcom, this is the police, etc. Depending on this video I might buy it
It looks amazing, time for another great Odd playthrough.
Looks awesome! I probably won't watch anymore until I get a chance to play it myself.
As always you have hooked me in again. Have added it to wish list and will buy, depending on price
I played a version of this maybe 2 years ago, and was rather impressed. It was surprisingly good, polished, good combat, good writing even back then.
So awesome. Love your content
A wonderful looking game and a fine start to an intriguing series!
Niiice game! Thanks for showing it
Looking forward to this playthrough.
Thank you for the game recommendation! You got me hype to Alien:Dark Descent, too!
So promising! Love just about everything i've seen in this video.
After watching you play this, I have wishlisted it. I plan to buy it when it comes out. This game is really, really good. Too bad you're just up to two parts on this series. Looking for part #3.
Found this in the playstation store. Super excited to watch you play and pick it up my myself
Insanely hilarious game. Can't wait!
It looks like a cool videogame, but I feel like they made a mistake saying that Capes would be for the Bronze Age what Freedom Force was for the Silver Age. FF's recreation of the Jack Kirby aesthetic was pitch-perfect - from the character designs to the lettering of the dialogue bubbles - and even the music and dialogue felt right out of that era. Capes's art by contrast just has that generic nonbrand superhero vibe that you get from products like Sentinels of the Multiverse.
has a little Freedom Force vibe as well, IMO. Wishlisted!!! 👍
This looks awesome gonna be a great series
I just heard about this game earlier today and I was wondering were you gonna play it. Come to your page and here I am excited 😂
That last season was amazing
Reminds a bit on Freedom Force - that was a wicked game.
This game has been on my steam wish list since 8/19/2022. Excited to finally see some proper gameplay!
Enjoying the soundtrack a lot. Game looks like a blast.
I want to thank you for the support of this channel
Me who just got here: Your welcome!
Keep the series comin'!
Mindfire's mum got that super dumptruck. 44:51
A little bit of advice as somebody who's played the demo a few times do rebounds mission should unlock story mission and then do facets mission not spoil anything but you'll need the help for facets mission it was in the demo and honestly don't be afraid of redoing things every now and then and trying out new positions and combos facets mission specifically helped me realize that at least when I play it's very puzzle-like especially if you want to get all the bonus objectives have fun can't wait to see you play some more
Doctrine wearing the same pin as The Comedian from Watchmen. Nice little easter egg
Wow, crazy you already got access. It is still over a month until it releases on Steam. And now I am hype and want to play it. xD
This is going to be a fun ride!
xcom meets superheros.. going to need more than one episode of this a day to feed my itch for squad based tactics games please mr odd
Love the refrence to the Comedian on Doctrine.
Yep loved this. I miss midnight suns so this scratches an itch.
Digging this style they are working with. Hope more to come from this title
