The new battle royale game Apex Legends is even popular among players who didn’t like games like Fortnite or PUBG. What is the reason for this? We want to find out from you in a survey.
If you look at forums, newsboards, and the comments here at MeinMMO, you often see sentences like “I actually don’t like battle royale, but Apex Legends is great!” Even here in the editorial team, seasoned battle royale refusals suddenly sneakily peek at Apex Legends.
Good reasons for Apex Legends
The new battle royale game from the creators of Titanfall Respawn Entertainment seems to be doing well with players, even among those who previously had nothing to do with the BR genre. This could have several causes.
Apex Legends has heroes
Many players, especially fans of Overwatch, love the idea of different heroes with their own skills and personalities. And that’s exactly what Apex offers with its currently eight legends. Depending on the selection in the team, you have different tactical options.
With Lifeline on the team, you can heal yourself at any time and better revive. Wraith enables surprise attacks, Bloodhound reveals enemies, and Tank Gibraltar provides protection in wild bullet hail.
There is no building, just shooter action
Many Fortnite fans enjoy the fast gameplay but hate building. They prefer to focus on shooting and can’t stand it when the opponent first builds a house.
For these players, Apex is probably optimal, as no one has to build anything here and can instead happily shoot away and focus on the fight.
The gunplay is great
Many fans praise the good gunplay of Apex Legends. The weapons have no wild bloom, meaning there is no random deviation when shooting. Instead, the shots usually hit where you aimed.
This feature is thanks to the famous Counterstrike pro and top streamer Shroud, who significantly contributed to the development with his feedback.
Apex has wonderful quality of life features
The developers of Apex have made sure to include cool features that make battle royale even better. With simple clicks, you can set pings and optimally inform the team where loot lies, where to go, and where enemies are lurking. It’s so simple and practical that even the most anti-social random group uses it.
You can also jump together at the beginning of the game and land as a team in the target area instead of scattered wildly across the map. This also benefits random groups.
Also praised are features like the shields that can be activated when going down or the additional respawn when friends recover your banner after your death and activate it at respawn beacons. This gives Apex more chances for a comeback after death, thus providing more fun and teamwork.
The game is 18+ and free to play
Many players actually like battle royale but don’t want a game with the colorful, child-friendly Fortnite look and the hordes of kids that hang around there.
Sure, there are PUBG or Black Ops 4, but they each cost money, and those who just want to take a peek into the BR genre will be put off by that.
Apex is 18+ and free to play. Therefore, anyone can try it out and take a look. And you probably won’t find huge hordes of kids there either.
