I love space role-playing games, and having been a naval officer for 7 years, I liked the thought of reimagining shipboard life in space. But good god, the author writes like his life is on the line if he doesn’t spew as many words out as possible. Example: “The tritanium hull is thick and dotted with force-shield emitters that can block or turn aside all manner of threats with only the occasional leak-through while the maser suite is capable of hurling intense macro-laser bursts from a dozen different firing points. “ Not only is it an elementary run-on sentence, but almost the entire middle section could have been eliminated. It actually is tiresome reading through the game, because I’m at the mercy of a blowhard thesaurus fiend who eschews punctuation, grammar, and perhaps more importantly, FLOW. ### 4/5 — Quick and easy *2017-06-22* The game reminds of Star Trek. The writer was thoughtful but it was to short. I didn't really get emotion or anything out of the characters but besides that... I'd like to have a sequel. More in depth though. ### 5/5 — I love it. *2017-05-16* This game is totally worth the 2 dollars it costs. Considering everything packed into. This adventure, it would be a great game for anyone. Buy it. Thanks ! This developers for making it. ### 5/5 — 5 stars! *2013-11-07* I just got this game and it's one of the greatest games I have ever played, if not the greatest! ### 5/5 — Good job hosted games *2013-09-29* Another great addition to the choice of games family ### 5/5 — Amazing *2013-05-01* Great, fun, and many ways to play! ### 4/5 — No romance?!?! *2012-11-27* This is a great little adventure but it's missing ONE thing that I adore in rpg style games, and that's a good romance, but the only one I could find is the one to have your nemesis as a "lover", why can't I romance, let's say, Kenra? The story seems to set it up as though you can, what with it say the she is like a bright sun to you in a dark universe? While I enjoyed it if other romances were implemented it would be a five from me ### 5/5 — Omg! *2012-09-07* I loved this one so much!, please make a second one! ### 5/5 — Title *2012-09-06* Excellent. Needs a second part. ### 5/5 — Great *2012-08-20* Great game. Can't wait for part 2. ## Frequently asked questions about Apex Patrol ### What is Apex Patrol?
