Apex - A Rising Star

Apex Legends - A star is born!

 

When we first heard about Apex, we thought "oh here's another battle royal game and it's free, it won't' be any good". Oh how wrong was we! Apex Legends is now almost as popular as Fortnite and is still growing in players. Its been given 5 stars by reviews and been called 'The best game of the year so far'. 

 

So, what do we think?

 

Well, we here at Tactical Gaming like it so much they opened a Division within Tactical Warfare, a good start. The game is developed by the same people who did Titanfall & Titanfall 2, which again is another great thing. The game itself is different from most of the battle royal games currently available by having certain features that are unique to Apex. Such as choosing your characters before deploying. With each character (they are called 'Legends') having their own unique abilities, you can choose a character that suits you and your gameplay style, also it stops you getting bored. These abilities range from defence to attack but are useful in the right situations.

Yes, it is a battle royal game. Which means landing, finding weapons and kit, running away from the ever closing circle without been trapped or shot. But this game feels so much different to the other battle royal games. You do have squads of 3, which is interesting. Some think this is a bad idea, but the majority seem to like it and sometimes change is good. With the added character abilities and interesting supply ship fights, it feels faster and smoother than other games. Continuing on the different features Apex has over the other battle royal games when you drop you have 1 person leading all the squad. This stops people jumping where ever they want and leaving the squad behind, i personally think its a great feature. Oh don't get me wrong, if you want to jump and leave your squad you can do. You have the ability to jump solo if you wish and head somewhere else.

 

Apex is not yet ready for cross play due to running into some issue. However, the developers have told us that we will see cross play in the near future. When Apex does go crossplay, it may well overtake Fortnite in popularity. Apex is also planning to come to Nintendo Switch in the future, but no dates have been confirmed.

 

Apex is a game that has surprised most people and will continue to get better. I mean, within 24 hours, 2.5 million people had already downloaded it.

How can you beat them numbers?

Fantastic game. There is a learning curve to it, which I didn't expect. Game was developed by Respawn who developed the COD franchise and then split from Activation after COD4. They have great credentials.

I had been holding off on the battle royals until now. Apex is my first BR and I'm loving the movement and gunplay. I'm happy it is a part of TG.

I hate BR games... with a passion.

 

However, I'm slowly coming round to this game.

I haven't played a FPS in roughly 10 years before Apex Legends hit. Mostly spending my time in sports games like Fifa and MLB the Show with my last serious FPS being Rainbow Six Vegas 2. A few friends talked me into downloading Apex Legends and haven't enjoyed another game this much in years. What stands out to me is the mobility and movement mechanics such as the Slide, Wall Climb, mixed with the Legends abilities. I think Respawn has done a great job overall with the Legends balance (Besides Hit boxes). Most legends provide a nice compliment to each other creating different squad synergies. I'm looking forward to see what else Respawn adds to the game and how it develops over the next 3-6 months.

I recently joined TG specifically to play Apex Legends and am so glad I did!  I haven't been captivated by a game like this since CS:Source.  I am truly impressed by the pinging system that exists in game, almost negating the need for a mic to be an effective teammate (I do not recommend playing without a mic though if you want to be competitive).  Being a member of the Lady Justice Squad here on TG has added to my overall experience of playing Apex Legends.  I have learned a lot in a short amount of time after only 2 practices!  I cannot wait to see what Season 1 holds for this game and am waiting on the edge of my seat for new maps, legends and weapons!  If Respawn plays their cards right, I can see myself playing this game day in and day out for years!  We are actively recruiting for the TG PS4 1st Brigade Squads so head over to our part of the forum and drop us a line if interested in joining in for a practice or just to play for fun.  See you guys/girls in game!
