To help with survival, the game includes a mimic system that allows players to train the local monkey population to gather resources, build structures, or even fight off threats, while a crafting system offers plenty of weapons to unlock and develop.<\/p>\n<p>You can either try to survive alone, or you can team up in collaborative and session-based online co-op.
