Apex Construct Description
Apex Construct is an action game with clear adventure elements. The game was developed by Fast Travel Games for PC and PS4.
Plot
Apex Construct takes players to the future when the Earth is ruled by robots. The machines designed by humans had turned against their creators and began fighting for territories as two feuding AI factions. The main protagonist is probably the last living human, who lands right in the middle of the conflict – he is tasked with surviving in this new unhospitable world.
Mechanics
In the PC and PS4 release of Apex Construct players get to observe the action from the first person perspective (FPP). During the game, one traverses futuristic locations and solves more or less complicated environmental puzzles. On their way to complete the game's objective, players have to eliminate many hostile machines with their bow.
Skillful utilization of weapons allows you to progress through the game without any injuries (this includes mostly aiming at weak spots located on the mechanical enemies). The game features a high replayability ratio thanks to the fact that players can choose their own way to the objective. Moreover, one can retry previously completed missions to discover previously unseen paths and secrets. The resources players find on their way can be spent on upgrading their gear.
To play the game described herein, you have to own VR headgear and dedicated motion controllers. This allows you to look around the in-game world by moving your head. You can also aim from the bow and interact with objects such as terminals and switches by moving your hands.
Technical aspects
Apex Construct for PC and PS4 features decent quality visuals, especially for games developed for VR headgear. Players are bound to appreciate original enemy character models. On their adventure, one is accompanied by a dedicated, electronic soundtrack.
