How Many Dudes?

Launching on July 30 at 10 AM PDT / 5 PM UTC, How Many Dudes? is a roguelike dudebuilder experience that revels in chaotic gameplay and over-the-top synergies. Dive into an unpredictable world where strategy meets madness, and every choice can lead to hilarious and explosive results.

Step into the Dude Ranch, your base of operations where assembling and overseeing a growing legion of quirky Dudes is your primary mission. Recruit from a diverse lineup of 42 distinctive Dudes belonging to six wildly different clans: the eerie Undead Dudes, the hardworking Employed Dudes, fierce Warrior Dudes, mystic Fantasy Dudes, futuristic Sci-Fi Dudes, and action-packed Action Dudes. Experiment by combining various Dude types to craft extraordinary synergies—imagine Zombie Dudes that detonate upon impact, Ninja Dudes launching a flurry of shurikens, or Cowboy Dudes lassoing teammates to safety. With over 850,000 possible team configurations, the strategic depth and potential for game-breaking combos are immense.

Prepare for an avalanche of synergy, tactics, and total mayhem as you unleash your team’s powers. Collect and equip hundreds of Dude Relics to radically alter combat rules. Turn your Wizard Dudes into fiery artillery, casting fireballs with every move, enable Ninja Dudes to slip into stealth mode when threatened, or empower Finance Dudes to generate cash through life insurance policies on their comrades. Vanquish formidable Act Bosses to gain Trinkets—special items tied to specific Dude types that open the door to unprecedented strategies. Will you gift your Wizards with hyperactivity, or electrify your Samurai with tasers? The strategic decisions are yours to make. Each Dude plays a vital role on the battlefield, whether dishing out damage, soaking hits, or leading the charge. Master the right offensive and defensive mix to propel your squad to the game's climactic final act.

Face off against a barrage of escalating foes, ranging from mischievous toddlers and wild wolves to mighty gorillas and even divine beings. These intense boss encounters will challenge your harmony and strategic ingenuity to the limit. Triumph in these battles to earn Silver and Gold stars for each Dude, testing whether you can truly master every character.

Key features of How Many Dudes? include a deeply strategic roguelike autobattler packed with innovative, game-breaking synergies; 42 unique Dude types to discover and develop; an extensive collection of Relics, Trinkets, and Wandering Dude events that transform each run into a fresh, unpredictable adventure; three difficulty tiers featuring distinct enemies and epic boss challenges; specialized game modes like The Daily Dude and Ensemble Mode for curating your ultimate team setup; and infinite replay value full of absurdity and laughter.

How Many Dudes? invites you to embrace chaos, craft absurdly powerful combinations, and lead your ragtag band of Dudes through wild, ever-changing battles. Will you unlock the perfect recipe for destruction or succumb to the pandemonium? The Dude Ranch is open—are you ready to recruit, strategize, and unleash mayhem?
