Not all of it lands – particularly its cluttered UI and complex progression and currency systems more on those later – but there’s a lot to enjoy here, even if you’re new to playing shooters on mobile.įor those unfamiliar with Apex Legends, it’s an enjoyable twist on the team-based battle royale formula, offering the usual scramble for weapons, a shrinking ring, and battle to the death, albeit with a charming roster of characters – Legends – that each sport their own special abilities. Built from the ground up for mobile, Respawn takes all I love about its irrepressible battle royale – its striking style, excellent sound design, fabulous cast, and delightful gunplay – and wraps it up in flashy new threads designed specifically for mobile devices. In Respawn’s defence, Apex Legends Mobile isn’t a port. I’m at once both giddy and a touch apprehensive, and I’ve learned – mostly the hard way – to hold my giddiness firmly in check when a favourite franchise gets the mobile treatment.
I get that same sense of uneasy delight each time I find out a game I love gets a port or a remaster. But you’re nervous, too, because the reason why you love it may be different to the reason others do. You’re excited, because getting more of something you love can never be a bad thing. You know the feeling, right? It’s like when the US makes a facsimile of your favourite UK show, or your most cherished childhood book gets the Hollywood treatment. A cluttered control screen can be a pain, but sync up a controller and Apex Legends Mobile is the real deal.
