Every now and then, a game comes along that takes the tried-and-true formula of grid-based tactics and flips it on its head; Apes Warfare looks like one of those games. Developed by the two-person indie team Gigaquests, both of whom are former Call of Duty devs.
This fast-paced strategy title puts players in charge of a squad of armed, rebellious apes fighting against their former human overlords. The tone is stylish, a little unhinged, and packed with humor, but it’s clear there’s also real tactical depth underneath the surface.
Apes Warfare blends classic elements, terrain effects, unit synergy, and resource management, with a compact map design that encourages bold, aggressive play. There are over 20 unique unit types, a SuperPower system, dynamic weather, and even a full level editor for community-made maps.
The campaign promises twists, dark comedy, and a surprising amount of heart as these apes fight to reclaim their freedom. The demo is already available on Steam, with a full release planned for Q4 2025. Below are more details about the game and the announcement trailer.
