🎮 Introduction
Apex Legends is a free-to-play, fast-paced battle royale shooter (and more) with a unique visual expression, focusing on squad-based gameplay over the individual. The game, produced by Respawn Entertainment – the team behind the award-winning Titanfall series – throws you into a battle royale experience set in a sci-fi universe of competition, skill, and team play.
Taking place in the sci-fi world of Titanfall, the game has become one of the most popular and respected free-to-play games in the world in a matter of weeks.
🧩 Gameplay Overview
Apex Legends is first and foremost a squad-based battle royale. In this game mode, up to 60 players are transported to a giant battlefield where the last team wins.
Squad-based action.
Players team up in a squad of three in most environments. Legends, on the other hand, are pre-defined characters.
Team strategy and player synergy-turned-partnership are key building blocks of the game.
Legendary characters.
Each Legend has a three-piece mechanic: a passive, a tactical move that is usually on a cooldown, and an ultimate combat move with a loading time.
For example, Wraith has a passive ability to alert her team if she feels danger; then, she can create two portals—one to escape an enemy and the other to return and surprise an unaware opponent while shrinking.
Another Legend,
Bloodhound has an active skill that allows them to scan the surrounding area and track footprints from the last few seconds or minutes.
Other characters deploy shield sets or call air-strikes, while some have speed boosts and jump pads.
As a result of the growing roster with over ten Legends and counting, gameplay is both fast-paced and tailored for each playstyle.
