APOX

Apox is a real-time strategy game that uniquely includes gameplay concepts from first-person shooters. Like in a FPS, you can prone, crouch, switch active weapons, throw grenades, and loot corpses. Soldiers in Apox have limited ammo, but ammo sharing is done seamlessly. Soldiers can be placed in vehicles, and this essentially lets you create your own unit designs. Apox keeps everything that makes RTS great like making bases, controlling strategic sites, and managing your resources.

Gameplay

APOX includes features inherent in most RTS games including base-building, control points, and resource management. It is distinctive, however, in having units that can assume the prone position, crouch, and loot corpses like an FPS game.

Players can, according to Steam, create their own unit designs by having units switch weapons between each other and by having them occupy vehicles.

Reception

The game received generally unfavorable reviews and has a Metacritic score of 48/100 based on six reviews. IGN gave the game a 4.5/10, citing poor graphics, repetitive gameplay, and clunky presentation.
