Ape-X

About

Ape-X is a co-op action game set in a city under siege by a rogue cybernetic gorilla. Players team up to pilot squads of drones, battling to reclaim the massive mutant from the sky while fending off its relentless attacks. The game emphasizes fast-paced combat and coordination, with each mission requiring strategic use of drone abilities to take down armored targets and disrupt the beast's defenses. Set in a retro-futuristic world, the visuals lean into bold colors and exaggerated tech, giving the chaos a distinct comic-book edge. The standout here is its focus on local co-op and VR integration, designed specifically for the StarVR headset. While the campaign is short, the 2-4 player mode keeps the action lively for shared sessions. Community feedback notes the gameplay is brisk but repetitive after a few runs, with some calling it a "novelty pick" for VR enthusiasts. Released in 2017, it remains a niche title with a cult following, particularly among fans of over-the-top mecha battles.
