Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
According to conventional wisdom, early man
and apes shared a common ancestor. However,
something caused man to evolve into Homo Sapiens
while apes stayed... apelike. To answer the question
of how man evolved, D3 Publisher takes gamers back
into prehistoric times.
Take control of an alpha male ape who leads a gang of peons on
action-packed adventures of evolution and tactical
maneuvering. At the outset of the game, the
objective is simpleminded - go forth into the jungle
and collect pears, mushrooms, and the occasional
rock to bring back to your village of apes. With
each new item, the level of the ape commander
increases and scales up to allow for controlling
ever larger simian squads.
Region-Free
Japanese NDS games may be played on North American and European
NDS handhelds. There is no region-coding on Nintendo
DS game cards.

NCS Game Notes
» The goal of Genshijin is evolution and
lots of food is required to ensure the steady growth
of your tribe. As the village grows ever larger,
more food and resources are needed to maintain the
population boom.
With greater power comes greater
responsibility where animals are attacked,
killed, and reduced to a mutton chop to feed
the village. Lead apes also have to
contend with simple puzzle solving episodes
which boost the intelligence and thus the
primitive technology available to the
intrepid gang of workers. When obstacles
such as a big square-shaped wedge of stone
requires knocking down, marshal your forces
together and push it over to crack it. When
a mastodon needs killing, crowd around the
back of the poor animal and hack it until it
keels over and poofs into a treasure chest.
The ultimate goal of the game is evolution
from ape to primitive man as your little
village becomes a thriving bastion of early
humanity.
» Leave the village and enter the Primevel
Forest and four little monkeys split out of
your body and trail you. Pick up the Yellow
Star in the distance to "Max One Up" which
allows you to increase your ape control
capacity to five monkeys. To pick up pears
and other objects that are on the ground,
walk over to it and press the "O-Button" and
your little contingent of monkeys will lift
it up. Every object in the world has weight
and the pears require the strength of two
monkeys to lift up while the branch can be
hefted by one monkey. A mushroom that is
encountered later on requires the strength
of five monkeys. Carrying capacity is
indicated by a number near the object.
» If your party is carrying objects when a
sabretooth tiger attacks, drop everything at
once by pressing the X button and attack it
en masse.
» In the Primevel Forest, the first obstacle
appears in the form of a wall which may be
pushed down. Simply walk up to the wall and
then push it over by pressing O. To battle,
simply press O against a creature and your
gang will attack. The tiger that is killed
early in the game will leave behind a big
meat chop which takes 4 monkeys to lift up.
When you bring the meat back to the village,
you'll level up and a restaurant will open
up in town.
» The aim in the early going is to bring
food back to the village so everyone has
enough to eat and eventual evolution and
development will occur.
» Although there are 41 monkeys in your
village's total population, you can only
bring 4 monkeys with you at the outset. As
you gain in stature, additional monkeys may
be added to your exploratory ranks which
increases their carrying capacity and attack
capabilities.
» After picking up things, your little gang
of monkeys cheer in unison. As levels and
items are gained, new areas open in the
village. New items brought back to the
village will increase your level meter.
Eventually, your sparse village will become a
bustling center of early civilization.
