How Many Dudes?

About the Game

How Many Dudes? is an autobattler roguelike that seeks to answer one of humanity's oldest questions - How many dudes does it take?

How many Dudes does it take to beat a thousand toddlers?

A silverback gorilla?

A GOD?!

Header text: Recruit Your Dudes

Welcome to the Dude Ranch, where you recruit and manage your ever-expanding army of Dudes

  • Choose from a wild cast of Dude Families: Undead Dudes, Workin' Dudes, Warrior Dudes, and many more.

  • Setup your Dude Roster to mix and match Dudes and form ridiculous synergies - like Zombie Dudes who get stronger as other Dudes fall in battle, or Ninja Dudes who enter the arena shrouded in shadow.

  • Each run brings a fresh batch of Dudes for you to choose from.

Create game-breaking synergies with your roster of Dudes and strange powers.

  • Collect dozens of Dude Relics that warp the rules of battle. Make your Wizard Dudes fling a volley of fireballs, your Ninja Dudes enter stealth after a kill, or Workin' Dudes generate more cash with each win.

  • Choose your Dudes wisely. Each Dude has their place in battle, from dishing out damage to tanking it to commanding other Dudes.
