'Apex Construct' (ALL) Gets PSVR Demo, Retail Edition Coming This Summer

by Rainier on May 11, 2018 @ 8:00 a.m. PDT

An action adventure game built exclusively for virtual reality, Apex Construct is set in a shattered future where merciless robots prowl the world as a result of mankind’s reckless experiments.

Equipped with an upgradable a bow and arrow, players will explore this world to uncover its secrets while defending themselves from the nightmare machines that dominate the world of tomorrow.

As the last human alive in this dystopian future, players will need to explore this world to uncover its secrets while defending themselves from the synthetic creatures, utilizing an upgradable bow, arrow & shield setup. Progressing through the adventure, players will gradually reveal what actually happened to the world they once knew - and what their role is in the drawn out conflict between two powerful AIs.

The puzzles that players encounter will reveal more of the story, told in a world where two powerful AIs are locked in a drawn out conflict. Using motion controllers, players will pick up a bow, firing arrows through a fluid, natural motion that simulates the mechanics of real world archery to destroy robots and overcome environmental challenges. Some arrows even offer quite the punch, dealing electrical or explosive damage when they pierce their target.

Fast Travel Games announced that a PSVR demo for Apex Construct has been released in the US PlayStation Store, with EU & AU following on Monday, May 14.

The demo puts players in the very beginning of the game, as they are brought back to a shattered Earth by an AI called “Fathr” to figure out what has happened to the world and what their role is in the conflict between “Fathr” and another AI called “Mothr”. Players are allowed to explore and interact with the surroundings while also trying out the praised bow & shield combat against evil, synthetic creatures.

PR & Marketing Manager Andreas Juliusson explains: “Apex Construct is such an immersive experience and a unique game for PSVR that we believe brings the best out of VR gaming. Whenever we have brought our debut title to a consumer event, reactions from players trying it for the first time have been overwhelmingly positive. Now anyone with a PSVR headset can try out Apex Construct in their homes before buying it.”

As an outcome of the partnership with publisher Perp Games, Fast Travel Games has confirmed the release date for Apex Construct on disc (€29.99/$29.99) for PSVR, with retailers in EU making the game available on June 8 followed by July for the US. Selected retailers are already listing the title for pre-orders.

Fast Travel Games is also updating Apex Construct with some new and exciting content this summer, free for all players owning the main game.

Apex Construct is currently available as digital download for PS4 (PlayStation VR), as well as Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Windows Mixed Reality.
