Men Vs Gorillas

Men Vs Gorillas is a single-player or cooperative arcade-style action game developed by a small independent studio, released in 2023 for personal computers and select mobile platforms. The game pits a team of human characters against aggressive gorillas in a series of enclosed jungle arenas. The objective is to survive waves of gorilla attacks while completing specific tasks, such as collecting bananas or activating escape routes. The visual style employs a low-polygon aesthetic with vibrant color palettes. The game features a scoring system based on kills, survival time, and objective completion, with leaderboards for competitive play.

Gameplay operates on a wave-based survival structure. Each wave introduces increasing numbers of gorillas with varied attack patterns, including charging, throwing objects, and climbing structures. Players control one human character using a keyboard and mouse or a standard gamepad. Keyboard controls: W, A, S, D for movement; left mouse button for primary attack (melee or ranged weapon); right mouse button for blocking or dodging; spacebar for jumping; E key for interacting with objects or picking up items; R key for reloading ranged weapons. Gamepad controls: left analog stick for movement; right analog stick for camera; A button for jump; B button for dodge; X button for interact; right trigger for primary attack; left trigger for block. Tactical techniques include kiting gorillas into environmental hazards, such as spike pits or explosive barrels. Coordinating with a second player allows for flanking maneuvers and shared aggro management. Using high ground provides a temporary advantage against charging gorillas. Consumable items, such as speed boosts and health packs, are found in breakable crates. The game ends when all human characters are incapacitated.
