Greetings Recruits!
Over the last few months, our team of five has been hard at work cooking up new features to keep every turn fresh, strategic, and just a little unpredictable. Here’s what’s new:
Feature Spotlight: Snipers, Drones, and Mines
We wanted a system that feels like rock-paper-scissors… but with more explosions.
Mines – Invisible hazards that stop careless units in their tracks.
Drones – Detect and safely defuse mines.
Snipers – Eliminate drones from across the map in a single shot.
Snipers excel at eliminating enemies from long range, but they’re vulnerable to fast-moving drones. Drones, on the other hand, can get the job done quickly, but only if they survive long enough to reach the mines.
Seezor & Jack - Now More Animated (Literally)
Our rival mascots are back with fresh designs, new animations, and a dose of comedic charm. We’re experimenting with cutscenes where these two go from fierce enemies to reluctant allies. (Or just frenemies who occasionally save each other from getting blown up.)
New Game Mode: Capturing LABs
Until now, victory meant either capturing the enemy HQ or wiping out their army. But LAB Mode changes the rules: you must capture every laboratory on the map to win. Think fast, because your opponent is racing to do the same.
Enter the SUPERPOWERS
No commander exclusives here; every player has access to the same set of ridiculous abilities in each level:
Fly Swatter – Smack enemy units for damage.
WD-40 – Repair your tanks with industrial-strength spray.
Bug Zapper – Instantly fry enemy flying units.
...and more exciting Superpowers are on the way!
It’s chaotic, it’s unfair, and it’s glorious.
Weather That Fights Back
We’ve added dynamic snowstorms that freeze rivers and seas, creating new paths for your troops. But beware, if the thaw comes while you’re still on the ice… well, hope your units can swim.
And More!
New units with Double Strike ability
Fresh maps for new tactical scenarios
Updated UI for clearer decisions
New BGM to keep the battles groovy
Community feedback from Discord—implemented, tested, and balanced
Deploy your drones carefully, protect them from snipers, and maybe… don’t stand on thin ice.
The new Apes Warfare demo is ready for you to try. See you on the battlefield.
