'Apex Construct' (ALL) Gets North American PS4 Retail Date

by Rainier on July 2, 2018 @ 9:10 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.

PlayStation VR players will travel to a dystopian future and battle merciless machines in the North American retail release of Apex Construct, available July 31, 2018.

 “Questioning the potentially dangerous impact of sentient technology is a topic that we can address in our media in a lot of interesting ways. Apex Construct takes a unique approach,” says Mickey Torode, director of publishing at Perp Games. “The bow and arrow combat really enhance the feeling of a return to the rudimentary human existence, echoing back to early hunting techniques that adds a rawness and urgency to the fights.”

Key Features:

  • A Flexible Combat System – With fluid use of a bow and shield, players take aim at enemies with an unparalleled precision. Players have the option to choose between seamless teleportation or direct movement;
  • Deep Customization and Updates – Players can spend acquired resources to upgrade weapons and equipment while customizing their home base and displaying hard-earned achievements;
  • Replayable Missions – From their personalized home base, players can select and replay any mission to uncover secret locations and mysteries contained within each area.

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