Respawn said it had tried adding these to Apex but they had unbalanced the game. Apex Legends is set in the same universe as the company’s Titanfall series of sci-fi shooters – as with those games, its environment combines hi-tech installations with swamps, villages and craggy mountain passes, though its trademark giant robot suits are absent. Where did it come from?ĭeveloper Respawn Entertainment was founded by Vince Zampella and Jason West, who previously ran Infinity Ward, the studio behind groundbreaking multiplayer shooter Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Reviews have praised the excellent balance, slick production, and highly tactical gameplay.
Apex Legends also uses clever non-verbal communication that lets you highlight specific items on the map, such as weapons, health packs and enemy targets, thereby alerting your friends. Unlike other battle royale games, players are able to revive downed teammates – this adds a tense new strategic element. There are three extra characters which are locked from the outset, but can be accessed by earning experience points through play, or by spending money. For example, Bloodhound can scan the area for enemies and mark their positions, Wraith can open up portals allowing for quick escapes, and Bangalore can call in a devastating airstrike. Before a round begins players, must choose one of six characters, each with special skills.
