Overview
Description

Apox merges real‑time strategy fundamentals with first‑person shooter mechanics, letting you crouch, prone, switch weapons, and loot corpses while commanding bases and resources. Soldiers have limited ammo, but share it seamlessly, and can be placed into vehicles to craft custom unit designs. The game supports single‑player, multiplayer, and co‑operative modes, offering strategic site control, resource management, and sci‑fi combat on Linux and PC platforms.

Ground Control drops players into a sci‑fi battlefield where you direct elite squads using point‑and‑click orders. The game blends real‑time strategy with tactical depth, offering both a compelling single‑player campaign and competitive multiplayer skirmishes. Set in a richly detailed future warzone, the title features destructible environments, dynamic AI, and a variety of unit types that require careful positioning and timing to dominate the field.
