How Many Dudes?

How Many Dudes? - Turns Internet Debates Into Battles

How Many Dudes? is a chaotic roguelite auto-battler inspired by classic internet arguments about impossible matchups. Instead of answering with logic, the game lets you simulate the nonsense through pure chaos. You play as a Dude Rancher, assembling an army of wildly different characters and throwing them into automatic fights. The result is unpredictable, silly, and surprisingly strategic.

The Auto-Battler Loop Explained

How Many Dudes? is built around preparation, not reflexes. You never control the fight itself, which means every decision happens before the battle begins. Choosing which Dudes to buy, where to place them, and which synergies to pursue determines everything. Once the fight starts, all you can do is watch the outcome unfold.

Core Gameplay Loop:

• Buy and recruit Dudes from a rotating shop
• Arrange your army for maximum synergy
• Start the fight and watch the outcome
• Adapt strategy as the run progresses

Building Teams That Break the Game

The real fun begins when synergies start stacking. Each Dude belongs to a class, and grouping similar types unlocks powerful effects. These bonuses often escalate quickly, turning weak units into unstoppable swarms. A single good synergy can completely define an entire run. Unlock these Dude Classes:

• Ninjas: Gain invisibility when grouped
• Zombies: Grow stronger as allies fall
• Knights: Durable frontline fighters
• Construction Workers: Utility-based units
• Wizards: High-impact magic effects
