Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment recently surprised everyone by releasing APEX LEGENDS!
Apex Legends is a brand new free-to-play battle royale game for PC, PS4 and XBox One. It is a very enjoyable game and is truly a lot of fun to play solo and with friends. Each match features 60 players at once. Teams are divided into trios. The last team standing wins the match.
Here is the official synopsis and launch trailer:
Conquer with character in Apex Legends™, a free-to-play* battle royale game where legendary challengers fight for glory, fame, and fortune on the fringes of the Frontier. Explore a growing roster of diverse characters and experience intense tactical squad play in a bold, new evolution of battle royale. Play for free now on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Origin for PC.
Each player in your squad must choose a legend (character) to play as. What makes the game so fun is how each character has their own unique abilities and personality. The best squads make use of each ability and ensure that the characters chosen compliment each other. For example, it’s a good idea to have one healer on the team combined with one tank style character who can take a lot more damage. The game encourages teamwork and strategy, which makes for a great battle royale experience.
More information about each unique character can be found on the official EA website here.
Game Features:
- Strategic Battle Royale: “If you’re going to survive the Apex Games, you have to think fast. Master your Legend’s abilities, make strategic calls on the fly, and use your team’s strengths to your advantage in vicious 60-player matches.”
- Innovative Combat: “Experience the next evolution of battle royale with Respawn Beacons you can use to resurrect your teammates, Smart Comms to help you communicate, Intelligent Inventory so you can grab only what you need, and an all-new way to drop into the action with Jumpmaster deployment.”
- Detailed Environment: The map is awesome in this game and features a range of unique locations and very detailed structures. Check out the picture below.
- Legends: Each legend / character is unique with their special abilities and appearance. It is a lot of fun trying out each character and seeing which one fits your own personal play style. My favourite is Wraith. She has some awesome abilities. Check out the trailer below (and also make sure to watch the other character trailers too):
