But I’m too slow; the enemy is already lining up their shot.
Is Apex Legends GOOD on Nintendo Switch?
It’s these nail-biting moments that make battle royale games like Apex Legends so compelling, and the fast-paced action of Respawn Entertainment’s free-to-play battle royale is one that many have enjoyed since its release in 2019, myself included. Now that the game has come to Nintendo Switch, even more would-be legends are emerging into Kings Canyon looking to prove their worth.
Apex combines the action of battle royale with the class roles of a hero shooter – think Overwatch meets Fortnite or PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (also known as PUBG). There are a number of characters to unlock, each with their own skills and abilities, and you’ll find a nice arsenal of weapons available across the game’s three maps. It’s a fun battle royale that isn’t too hard to get into, and one that feels right at home on Nintendo Switch.
