Butterscotch Shenanigans studio has released How Many Dudes? on PC, Android, and iOS. The developers based the game on the viral thought experiment about how many ordinary people it would take to defeat one gorilla. Players will have to assemble and coordinate an ever-growing army of "dudes," then watch the battles in automatic mode.
How Many Dudes? features 42 types of fighters from six factions. Various properties and unit combinations allow for over 850 thousand squad variations. In addition to gorillas, the army will have to fight crawling babies, packs of wild wolves, and ancient gods.
Early buyers have warmly received the new title: at the time of writing, How Many Dudes? has received 95% positive reviews on Steam after 120 reviews. Users praise the easy gameplay, absurd humor, and convenient format for short sessions. Among the shortcomings, the short duration, lack of depth, and weak motivation for repeat playthroughs are most often mentioned.
How Many Dudes? is sold on Steam with an introductory 35% discount for 429 rubles, while mobile versions cost 899 rubles.
