Featuring the vocal talents of Jon St. John, the legendary voice actor of Duke Nukem, “Dudebro II” both parodies and pays homage to some of mainstream video gaming’s most prevalent tropes: super-macho protagonists, excessive violence and profanity, chauvinistic overtones and rampant immaturity. But it also pays respect to old-school gaming, with power-ups, pixel art story sequences and ridiculous boss fights.

Although “Dudebro II” is the first in the series, it has the number two in its name because sequels are always more awesome than original games — as all hardcore gamer dudes know.

The game is built on the Unity 3D engine, which can be run within any browser on PC or Mac, or run offline. “Dudebro II” will be a free download when it is launched on the official website.

Grimoire Assembly Forge is predominantly comprised of members of NeoGAF, the preeminent video game industry discussion community. The Dudebro team is over 100 volunteers strong, all unpaid. They are distributed all over the planet, from North America to Europe to Asia.
