Age of Apes

What it is

Age of Apes is a free massively multiplayer strategy game from Tap4fun. It uses a cartoon style premise. Humanity is gone, and rival monkey clans compete to launch rockets into space in a search for bananas. The listing frames this as a post apocalyptic space race and gives it an Everyone content rating.

What it does well

The description splits the game into cooperation, strategy, exploration and communication. You pick one of 6 clans and make friends in a gang. On the strategy side, you develop an outpost, build an army and plan how to get ahead in the rocket race. The listing mentions large scale player versus player wars between clans and battles against mutant monkeys and bosses, along with ruins on the map. A social system lets you plan with allies, gain followers and follow other players.

The tone is light, with jokes built into the copy, and the cast includes named characters such as Roger the Intendant and Junior, a clan leader.

What the ratings show

The app has a 4.55 average from 1,112,496 ratings and is listed at 50,000,000+ installs. The split is 73.7% five star and 15.2% four star. 6.8% gave three stars, 1.5% gave two stars, and 2.9% gave one star. The low one star share is a good sign, and the larger four star group suggests many people like it without loving it. It was released in July 2020 and updated on 2026-10-23.

Where it falls short

The listing states plainly that the game requires an internet connection to play, so it is not an offline option. As an MMO built on clans and wars, it also asks for ongoing social involvement, which the page does not quantify. It does not say anything about in-app purchases or ads, so costs are unclear.

Who it suits

It suits a player who enjoys base building and long term clan play with a comic theme. A person looking for a short, solo, offline game should look elsewhere.
