Gamers should get a kick out of the post apocalyptic PC title APOX, if for not other reason than the seamless blending of two co-op favorite genres. APOX takes the real-time strategy elements we love like resources, base-building, and strategy (also fast paced battle, duh) and blends those elements with individual unit commands that you might see in a Shooter. Things like using cover, raiding bodies, or getting in and out of vehicles, all blended seamlessly.
We also learned something interesting about the inclusion of co-op when an official post on the APOX forums mentioned players were actually having more fun playing the "versus" mode against bots during testing. Because of this, the team wanted to include a dedicated co-op option. If you need a challenge you feel you can only gain from playing against human players, play with 16 human players against 16 "hard" bots and you're set for some solid comp stomp co-op action.
That bit of backstory uninteresting to you? How about the cold hard facts about the games features from launch?
