Overview
Description

Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale built around squads of “Legends” with unique abilities, praised for its fast, fluid movement, gunplay, and ping communication system.

Death Sword, originally released as Barbarian in 1987, pits a nameless barbarian against rival warriors and an evil wizard in a gritty fantasy world. The game offers both a competitive two‑player mode and a single‑player quest to rescue Princess Mariana from the sorcerer Drax.

So much fun

Apex Legends has been my go-to lately. Strong hero design. One gripe: steep aim skill ceiling. Would recommend.
