Empire of the Apes: WAR!

Monsterpocalypse: Big in Japan will bring more radical gargantuan apes from the Congo to the industrialized cities of the world. Today, we’ll look at the new Empire of the Apes monsters and units.

Menace in the Jungle

The Monsterpocalypse arrived in the Congo when a force of invading Martians attempted to overtake the unassuming Empire of the Apes. The warrior apes did not know how the silver and green machines found their way into their secluded empire, nor did they care. They just did what they knew how to do: fight.

The invaders’ crawling attack vehicles were quickly met by a gang of apes wielding scavenged hardware. Laser attacks rained down from Martian flying ships. The Empire showed that it possessed formidable firepower of its own as a platoon of apes shot down wave after wave of Martian invaders with rocket launchers.

Monsterpocalypse: Big in Japan features two dangerous additions to the Empire of the Apes unit line-up. The Frontline Ape boasts a Speed of 6 and dominates the front lines with the Gang ability. The Rocket Ape brings a boosted Explosion blast attack that works well with the Howitzer Ape’s Intensify ability.

Radical Protection

The towering Martian crawler Phobos-7 advanced into the fray, blasting away at the apes. The assault didn’t last long once the Empire’s armored gargantuan ape rushed into the battle, shielding the smaller freedom fighters. Laser blasts to the chest riled the armored ape, who vented his anger on the Martian machine with a devastating one-two punch.

The Armored General Hondo protects his units with Force Field. In alpha form, the general uses Follow Through to combo punch. In ultra form, he Chain Attacks punches into power attacks.

Cold Grip

As the damaged Phobos-7 staggered, the armored ape’s grimace turned into a grin at the sight of another gargantuan ape rampaging through the invading ships in the distance. Originating from the frosted peaks of Mount Kilamanjaro, this ape had snow-white fur and wielded a giant, gleaming ice shard. The great white ape lunged and grappled the Martian crawler from behind. The machine’s green glow faded as the white ape lifted it over his head and smashed it into the ground. Emboldened, the smaller apes rallied to position, knowing more invaders would be sure to come.

White Dajan Riots into battle and his units make a Synchronized Move after he power attacks the enemy. In ultra form, he uses his giant ice shard to make Lightning Attacks.
