Apex Legends vs Gekido

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.

Gekido is a gritty beat 'em up for the PlayStation that drops you into a neon‑lit cityscape teeming with bosses and colorful enemies. Featuring music from Fatboy Slim and Apartment 26, the game blends frantic combat with a comic‑book aesthetic crafted by Joe Madureira. The title supports single‑player, multiplayer and co‑operative modes, letting you team up with sidekicks Michelle, Ushi and Tetsuo to rescue the kidnapped girl Angela. A Game Boy Color version and a GBA spin‑off followed, cementing its cult status among retro action fans.
