How Many Dudes? Proves You Can Overkill a Duck With Math

Dudes battling wolves in How Many Dudes? autobattler roguelike

Can 15 zombies and 4 samurai survive a wolf? How Many Dudes? answers with a shrug and a button press. This autobattler roguelike tasks players with assembling armies of dudes to fight animals and other foes, blending absurdity with tactical depth.

Players choose between easy and hard battles for rewards, crafting build-specific strategies like cleave builds for swarm enemies. Relics and consumables like 'dude juice' add complexity, though the lack of path choices compared to games like Slay the Spire is noted as a flaw. 'The dude war has claimed so many innocent lives,' the game quips, as you send five regular guys into the blender to die for 'sweet, sweet buffs.'

The demo is free on Steam, though permanent release details remain unannounced. Simon Collins-Laflamme said:
