"How Many Dudes?" is a roguelike dudebuilder that's all about game-breaking synergies and simulated chaos.
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 42 Unique Dudes across 6 Dude Families: Undead Dudes, Employed Dudes, Warrior Dudes, Fantasy Dudes, Sci-Fi Dudes, and Action Dudes.
‣ Setup your Team to mix and match Dude Types and form ridiculous synergies - like Zombie Dudes who explode when struck by enemies, Ninja Dudes who throw a barrage of Shurikens, or Cowboy dudes who lasso other Dudes out of danger.
‣ More than 850,000 Team compositions means there's tons of strategies and overpowered combos to discover.
SYNERGY! TACTICS! MAYHEM!
Create game-breaking synergies with your choice of Dudes, Trinkets, and Relics.
‣ Collect hundreds of Dude Relics that warp the rules of battle. Make your Wizard Dudes fling a volley of fireballs when they move, your Ninja Dudes enter stealth when in danger, or your Finance Dudes generate cash with a life insurance policy on your other Dudes.
‣ Defeat Act Bosses to earn Trinkets - powerful items assigned to a Dude Type that enable game breaking strategies. Should you give your Wizard Dudes ADHD, or give your Samurai Dudes a Taser? It's up to you!
‣ Choose your Dudes wisely. Each Dude has their place in battle, from dishing out damage to tanking it to commanding other Dudes. Find the right balance between offense and defense, and see if your team can make it all the way to the final act.
ABSURD CHALLENGES
Face escalating enemy waves—from toddlers to wolves to gorillas to gods!
‣ Conquer boss fights that test your team’s synergy (and your sanity).
‣ Defeat bosses to earn Silver and Gold stars for each Dude, and see if you can master them all!

I’ve always been a fan of the bscotch bros, and listening to their podcast (coffee with butterscotch, which in and of itself is an amazing and fun thing to listen to because the guys are just awesome) gave a fun way of tracking this games development, so when it came out I was excited to grab it. The game itself is very addicting - the game cycle keeps me wanting to do just one more quick round so I can see what dudes or gear I might get. It’s simple at face value but deep in terms of determine dude synergies and coming up with a strategy each run based on what RNGesus throws your way. The devs are also active on the games reddit page and are working on implementing updates based the feedback people provide. Great game, would recommend!
Interesting game, but…

The game scheme is implemented as a combination of characters + assembly of certain items, but in the end, when you play in the game for 100+ hours, the game turns into balancing characters and an attempt to buy all the items in the game. There are not so many of them and not all of them have any benefit. Therefore, the sunset after the sunset turns into a vicious circle of hell.Selection of the squad -> purchase of all people -> maximum savings for the purchase of most items by the end of the game -> see how your people are shot by G.O.A.T. Because you took the weak killers. There are not so many really interesting broken combinations in the game, because there are no things that break the game in the game as a whole, only good synergy. Therefore, there will be no such "wow" effect of breaking the game and chising as in Risk of Rain or The blinding of Isaac.But for casual or calm players on this topic, the game will be a good choice, and still I will remember this game with its style and interesting characters
Truly one of the best games iOS games there is

I’m not gonna say this in a casual manner, this game has me hooked. Not to mention the amount of time that just flies whenever you try different combos with different dudes. Coming from someone who sinks way too much time into mobile games you should definitely consider getting this one! Nothing but love for butterscotch since I tried their games.
One happy customer!

I have been playing since the demo was available on steam, and I cannot tell you how pleased I am. So good that I’ve purchased the steam game as well as the app. To be honest, I would’ve paid this price for the demo version (it’s that good) and the 1.0 version is at least 10x better. 10/10, would 100% recommend.
