Features
At the moment, Battle Dudes has an 18 character roster, with 9 standalone characters and 9 "EX" variants. Not only that, but with the Type system you can play your character in many different ways. Apart from the quick and smooth gameplay, there is loads of content to enjoy in Battle Dudes!
- Loads of single player modes (Arcade, Boss Rush, Party Battle, Missions, Minigames and more!)
- Incredibly robust training mode, equipped with hitbox viewing, live inputs, recording slots and a myriad of CPU options.
- Unlockable hidden content (Sound test menus, development gallery, and more!)
Battle Dudes is still in development, but we promise to also add a full story mode, a robust tutorial, and some other fun little bits and pieces for you!
Testing and Feedback is Appreciated!!
Battle Dudes is programmed solely by jay_ts, so there is not much in the way of expansive and comprehensive QA testing. You can access this Feedback Survey to give your quick opinions about the build while giving you the option to add more in depth comments.
You can also join the Discord Server for more in-depth discussion on the game, and you can also follow either the Twitter or Bluesky accounts to catch up on game updates.
What's Next?
This next update may not add much in the realm of content, but what it will do will put Battle Dudes in a great position moving forward. With IKEMEN getting a full 1.0 release very soon, Battle Dudes will be ported over to this new version which does a lot of important under the hood stuff. It adds rollback netcode, and also greatly improves performance on most lower end machines, while also providing exciting new features to make some new content possible to add. Stay tuned!
