Age of Apes suits players who like base-building strategy with a group element and don't mind a cartoon tone. It is a free MMO game from Tap4fun (Hong Kong) Limited, rated Everyone, and it is available through Google Play only. Google Play lists over 50 million installs.
Who should pick a banana war over a standard base builder
The game places you in a post-apocalyptic setting where monkeys race to launch rockets into space. It fits players who enjoy long-term planning and sharing a goal with others, since much of the play depends on belonging to a Clan.
Google Play gives it a rating of 4.6 from about 1.1 million ratings. The Everyone content rating keeps it open to a broad age range.
Outposts, six Clans and PVP wars in practice
You manage an outpost, build an army and train monkey warriors. Growth of the outpost is the main way to gain strength against rivals.
Before playing you pick one of 6 Clans and can form a Gang with friends. Clans fight each other in large PVP wars, and you can also steal resources from other Clans. Solo content exists too: PVE fights against Mutant Monkeys, plus a map with ruins and large bosses to find.
Internet, ads and in-app purchases
The game needs an internet connection at all times, so offline play is not an option. It requires Android 8.0 or newer, and the version and size differ by device.
The game is free, but it contains ads and in-app purchases.
