Apex Legends vs Truxton
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.
Truxton is a 1988 vertically scrolling shoot‑em‑up where you pilot a lone fighter against the Gidan armada and their massive asteroid fortresses. With eight‑way joystick control, a shot button and a bomb button, you blast through five planetary stages and face looping boss encounters that increase in difficulty. Originally an arcade hit from Toaplan, Tru Truxton has been ported to Mega Drive, PC Engine and modern platforms including Linux, Android, PC, iOS and Mac, preserving its retro charm while offering cross‑platform play and co‑operative modes.
Free; monetized via cosmetics and a Battle Pass.
