It's a common trend to make multiplayer games with animals instead of humans to make things more wild and fun which may be the case behind Apes io. This Battle Royale game has apes fighting it out on a large piece of blocky land filled with other giant creatures. These seem to be Planet Of The Apes kind of apes due to their advanced intelligence and ability to wield special tools. However, they're behaving like many humans have behaved in this situation and that is to run around, find something to protect themselves with, and fight back to survive these harsh circumstances.
About Apes io
Whenever animals are the characters, this creates a disconnect between the player and the character which can make games easier to play. This game may not be as direct with its rules and layout, but it is pretty easy to play since you can learn all the ropes pretty quickly. Just make sure that you have a strong internet connection because it's designed to host a lot of players in a large environment. There are also other entities wandering around the land that require extra processing, so you might want to pull out the ethernet cable for this one if you don't trust your wireless connection.

This is a battle royale with apes so your objective is to be the last ape standing. The game takes place in a region with diverse geography. There are trees, mountains, caves, hills, and shallow, and deep bodies of water. The main weapon you have are Wands which can be found scattered around the land. Each wand has unlimited power but has limited shots before it needs to be reloaded. They work as firearms which you'll use against other apes and hostile creatures. Defeating them earns you points that will add up on the right side of the screen. If you fall, you'll need a few seconds to respawn before you can drop in again.
The other main threat in the land is large crab-creatures called Crablings. They travel in groups and are known to jump around when attacked. They'll also start attacking you when facing a serious threat. They drop points and can be found in all sorts of environments around the map.
You ape can carry two wands at a time but can swap them out for wands that they find around the environment. They have gun-like properties to emulate weapons like pistols, SMGs, and rifles. You can also discover magical artifacts that grant new spells to cast in battle. You can also find health power-ups in the form of circular coins with hearts on them. To make your ape stand out, you can Change Costume in the Lobby. This will allow you to change their skin tone, head wear, and outfit.
Tips and Tricks
Like with other battle royales, you should use the initial dive to get a lay of the land. Your ape is able to climb most structures by grabbing and jumping up the walls. This is a great way to find vantage points and different wands, but be warned as other players will think the same.
