Apex Legends vs Last Man Standing
Apex Legends
Apex Legends is a first-person battle royale consisting of 20 teams of three. You’ll drop into the battlefield with two other players, loot weapons and items from the environment, and fight. You’ll have access to a variety of heroes, each with different skills and capabilities that cater to different playstyles.The gameplay is extremely fast-paced, comparable to Call of Duty’s multiplayer matches. Firefights are exciting affairs, especially since you’re mixing gunplay with special abilities. There’s also a tactical aspect since you might want to choose a character that blends well with those of your teammates.
So, to sum it all up, there are games that come out every once in a while and have the ability to change an entire genre or even the industry and Apex Legends is one of those games. It’s a refreshing entry to the concentrated battle royale genre, dominated by names like Fortnite and PUBG. Though it does not offer anything revolutionary, it touts solid and polished gameplay that is a mix of highly-regarded titles like Titanfall and Overwatch.
Last Man Standing
Last Man Standing is a battle royale game that is similar to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) in many ways, including graphically and gameplay-wise, but you often have to remind yourself that being a free-to-play version, this game does have its own set of flaws. For starters, although the map in this game is as vast as PUBG's, there are no vehicles in Last Man Standing, forcing you to travel large distances on foot. There isn't any bullet tracers or obvious muzzle flashes in this game either so it can be quite difficult for you to pin-point from where you are being shot at.Some players also report having frame rate drops which may indicate poor game optimization and well, since there isn't any anti-cheat in the game, you will have to content with having some cheaters in the game (still less than 50% of the time though). Matchmaking takes quite some time as well since the player base in this game is obviously a lot less than PUBG or even Fortnite Battle Royale.
That said, the game has some redeeming qualities aside from being free-to-play, such as having a fun and sometimes intense and competitive gameplay; insanely in-depth character customizations where you can earn more outfits and clothes by playing; a nice arsenal of weapons that you can find and use, including the very useful riot shield-like barriers; multiple game modes (solo, duo and team-based), and more.
So, Last Man Standing is a pretty decent alternative - the free-to-play sort - if you're looking to play a game that's more similar to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds rather than the more cartoonish-looking Fortnite Battle Royale. Granted that this game isn't at all perfect and that apparently the devs won't be patching this game up anytime soon, this is the best you'll probably get!
