Apex Legends vs Descent
Side-by-side comparison of features, pricing, ratings, and alternatives.
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.
Welcome to Descent, a mind-bending and stomach-churning action game featuring true three-dimensional worlds with light source shading, texture mapping, and directional sound. Dive deep below the surface of Lunar Base I where an unknown alien race has taken over the Post-Terran Mining Corporation. Lunge straight down mine shafts, twist around never-ending tunnels, and fight your way past robotic menaces in a true 360-degree environment. Share the experience with friends through head-to-head combat and cooperative two-player modem or eight-player network support.
Free; monetized via cosmetics and a Battle Pass.
