How Many Dudes pits man versus gorilla in a battle to the death

• How Many Dudes? Pits man versus gorilla, and all manner of other oddities
• Recruit different types of dudes with distinct powers and abilities
• Use roguelike upgrades to do battle with everything from gorillas to babies and werewolves

If you didn't already know, the recent meme that floated around a few months back pitting '100 men versus a gorilla' was a weird little thought-experiment about whether an organised group of people could beat a wild animal. Well, it appears we'll soon have a definitive answer, if the recently released How Many Dudes? is anything to go by.

Available now on iOS and Android, How Many Dudes answers these and many more useless questions as it pits your titular dudes against all manner of opponents. Ranging from the aforementioned silverbacks to hordes of babies (yes, it's that ludicrous of a game), you'll need to pick from a variety of dudes with differing powers to help win each battle.

Gorilla-sized problems

Yes, it's ludicrous, silly and out-there, but you can't say that the concept isn't at least a little bit fascinating. Especially with the roguelike aspects that see you apply different upgrades to your dudes as you go. It's got a weird sense of depth to it despite how silly the idea of pitting men against gorillas may be.

Of course, it also may not always be for the faint of heart, as How Many Dudes certainly lives up to the gruesome and gory implications of such battles. But it never quite crosses the fine line between cartoonishly fun and gorily gruesome.

You can find How Many Dudes on both iOS and Android for the measly price of $9.99. And isn't that a small price to pay to see somebody torn limb-from-limb by an enraged primate?

Well, if that isn't quite your cup of tea, then you're in luck because there are plenty of other options out there to enjoy. Just take a gander at our latest list of the five new mobile games to try this week for some of our personal picks!
