How to Play Age of Apes on Your PC or Mac with BlueStacks: Installation Guide
Humanity has become extinct, and apes have taken over as the new dominant species. Like their predecessors, the apes successfully built their own civilizations and developed their own technologies thanks to the remnants of human civilization. One day however, some apes turn into rabid mutants and cause destruction all over the world. The only way to stop these mutants is by taking hold of spectrometers, which prevent apes from transforming into mutants.

Build Your City
To fight the mutants, you must establish a city or base where you’ll train and manage your monkey troops.
There are plenty of structures that you can build that add utility. Multiple military camps can be constructed for training various types of monkey troops as well as medical stations for healing wounded troops. There are also buildings that unlock new capabilities such as the intel station that allows you to scout distant places from your city and see what resources can be gathered in the area. All buildings can be upgraded to increase their capacity or productivity by spending food and iron resources.
Your city is fully customizable in that you can move buildings anywhere and even purchase decorations like grass patches and stone roads to make your city more beautiful. But don’t waste all your resources in decorations as you also need to invest money in your sentry towers and defense walls which protect your city from enemy invasions.
Grow an Ape Army
A lot of apes have sadly turned into mutants and that has warranted the need for a large army to take them down. Apes can be trained into various types that have their own unique way of attacking.
- Pilots – troops that maneuver and attack enemies at high speed through their driving skills. They are trained in the Pilots’ Camp.
- Hitters – bulky troops that attack enemies in close quarters combat. They are trained in the Hitters’ Camp.
- Shooters – troops that attack enemies from a distance. They are trained in the Shooters’ Camp.
- Wall Breakers – troops that destroy enemy sentry towers and defense walls to give way for other troops. They are trained in the Wall Breakers’ Camp.
Trained apes are placed in the parade ground where they wait to be deployed into missions. You can upgrade the parade ground to increase the maximum amount of monkey troops that it can carry. As you progress through the game, you’re going to need more troops to defeat stronger mutants.
Ape troops can also be upgraded by investing in your military through the Research Lab. The damage dealt by troop types can be upgraded and eventually unlock stronger versions of those troops that pack more punch to the mutants.
Recruit Fighters
Fighters serve as mighty leaders to your regular ape army. They possess unique skills and talents that can make a huge difference in the battlefield.
Each fighter specializes in leading a certain type of troop. Some are good at leading hitters, some are good at leading pilots, and so on. Troops that fight under a fighter’s leadership are affected by passive boosts that come from the fighter. This is done through the fighter’s talent tree whose branches can be individually upgraded to unlock small but meaningful upgrades to their soldiers or themselves (i.e., additional damage).
Clear Mutant Lairs
One of the most interesting features of Age of Apes is the combat system used in clearing mutant lairs.
When clearing mutant lairs, you start with one blue house and your objective is to take over all the other houses by drawing one-way paths to them to mobilize your troops. A certain number of troops must enter the house for it to be conquered. However, enemies are going to fight back and they’ll collide with your troops to defend themselves. Outnumbering them is the only way to defeat enemies so you must be quick in drawing the most optimal paths to conquer the mutant lairs. If you need some support, you can call in your fighters to deal massive damage to certain houses.
As you progress, you’ll start to encounter obstacles that hinder your path. You cannot create curved paths so you must find a strategic way to get to the houses on the other side. Additionally, you’ll also encounter hostile structures like defense towers that attack your troops if their path crosses the tower’s attack radius.
Join the Apes with BlueStacks
Fight against the mutants now by installing and playing Age of Apes on PC or Mac with BlueStacks. You can take advantage of certain BlueStacks features to enhance your gameplay experience.
For instance, you can take advantage of the controls editor to map certain touch gestures to keys or mouse clicks to make tasks like swiping and zooming in and out easier. This can be especially useful in clearing mutant lairs because you can cut paths by swiping across them. This can be tricky to do on mobile devices especially when there are too many paths near each other.
In-game events are a big thing in Age of Apes and you do not want to miss those and the rewards you can get from it. You can use the UTC Time Converter to convert UTC time into your local timezone and even set up reminders on a calendar so that you’ll never forget in-game events. Why wait?
