It seems many of the internet’s most important debates may finally be settled, as How Many Dudes is set to launch on Android, iOS, and PC on July 30.
The roguelite autobattler lets players put wild internet theories to the test, like how many dudes it would take to beat a gorilla. As you progress, you build up a roster of increasingly strange units, and you can test how far you push them until your run ends in defeat.
The game is said to feature 42 unique dudes across six dude families: Undead Dudes, Employed Dudes, Warrior Dudes, Fantasy Dudes, Sci-Fi Dudes, and Action Dudes. There are also trinkets and relics that you can equip to create powerful synergies with your favourite characters.
A demo for the game was released last December, which attracted 425,000 players and led to 205,000 wishlists. If you’re interested in checking out the game, the demo is still live on Steam. We recently gave the demo a nod in our Steam Next Fest recommendations feature.
You can check out a trailer for How Many Dudes below:

What’s more, there are always going to be new lists for emerging trends as well as fresh titles to highlight. This is because my backlog is embarrassingly long, and so I’m always trying to balance the new games that arrive in my inbox with playing the stuff I already have.
