Evaluation

Apewar has been in Early Access since March 24, 2023. The developer has kept the game active with a major content update (version 2.0, November 2023), several feature patches, and ongoing bug fixes. On March 14, 2025, the developer posted an update stating that "Apewar will be fully released this year" and described a large content update 15 months in the making — covering new monkeys, tanks, military vehicles, new game modes, maps, and menu redesigns. That promised 2025 full release never happened, and no follow-up post explained the delay or offered a new timeline. On August 30, 2026 (the most recent post), the developer announced a forthcoming cosmetic update bringing 90 hats across 6 rarity tiers, a random drop system rewarding play time, and Steam Community Market support. This confirms the developer is still active, but the announcement is purely cosmetic and says nothing about the overdue 1.0 release or the previously promised gameplay content additions. The game's full release and the accompanying major gameplay update remain outstanding commitments with no confirmed delivery date. The combination of a missed public release window and no explanation or revised timeline makes the status of those commitments uncertain.

About this game

Apewar is an online tactical and action FPS/TPS monkey war game adapted from real life. Build your monkey team and fight against your enemies. Defend the bananas! By playing the game in a coordinated way, you can have fun and win with a good strategy. You can have fun moments in the game with many map options. Remember the saying: Monkeys are strong together!

Get support from artificial intelligence bots while building your team in the game. Place bot players on your team to strengthen your army. Find and drive and control a number of vehicles only in certain areas of the maps. You can crush the monkeys in the enemy team with your vehicle. You can taste the realism in the game. For example, if you stay too long in the sea, you will drown and die.

The game has Free for All, Team Deathmatch and a Grab Banana mode. The most entertaining one among these modes is that both teams are trying to reach. You have limited time to seize these bananas and take them to your area. Since these bananas are located in the area of the map where there is the most combat and action, you may be shot and killed by the enemies while you pick up the banana and transport it to your area!

The Gombe Chimpanzee War is a series of violent conflicts between two chimpanzee communities in Gombe National Park, Tanzania, that lasted from 1974 to 1978. Researcher Jane Goodall, director of the Gombe Stream Research Center, wrote in her memoir “Through a Window: My Thirty Years with the Chimpanzees of Gombe”: “For several years I struggled to face this new reality. Most of the time I woke up at night because of scary images coming to my mind. Satan [one of the monkeys] clasped his hand under his chin to drink the blood gushing from a large wound on the Sniff's face... Old Rodolf, who was mostly kind and calm, slammed Godi's slumped body with a four-pound stone. . Jomeo rips a piece of meat from Dé's thigh... Figan repeatedly attacks and hits the scarred, trembling body of Goliath, one of his childhood heroes... »
