About this gameFull description from Steam
How Many Dudes? is a roguelike dudebuilder that's all about game-breaking synergies and simulated chaos. 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. 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. 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! Strategic roguelike autobattler full of game-breaking synergies 42 Unique Dude Types to recruit and build out your team Hundreds of Relics, Trinkets, and Wandering Dude events that completely reshape each run Three Tiers of Challenge, each with additional unique enemies and epic boss battles Game modes like The Daily Dude and Ensemble Mode, which allows for pre-selecting your dream team Infinite replayability and absurdity
