NetEase Games is releasing Deadly Dudes globally on Android and iOS this July 23, according to the App Store listing. The title, previously in early access as “Retro Rampage” on Android since 2024, blends high-octane zombie blasting with strategic base-building.

Action-Packed Combat Meets Strategy

Expect a wild ride! You’ll recruit “hero dudes,” wield iconic 90s-style weapons—pistols, shotguns, rifles—and demolish zombies with over-the-top attacks, including blowing up cars. Each weapon plays differently, so mastering them adds a strategic layer to the chaos.

But don’t just shoot. Build a fortress. Rescue survivors. Upgrade gear. Set up defensive towers. It’s classic survival strategy with a punch.

Shelter Building & Hero Management

The heart lies in your shelter. As your hub, it’s where you:

• Save survivors from ruin
• Craft high-quality gear
• Set defenses to repel zombie waves

Pick your heroes wisely! From demolitions experts to builders and tech-savvy dudes, each has unique abilities that need coordination—and they shine when matched with the right weapon.

Nostalgic 90s Vibe

Deadly Dudes channels a retro feel: graffiti-filled streets, classic rides, and pulsing 90s tunes. Dark comedy lights the mood. Expect quirky visuals, arcade-style aesthetics, and quirky collectible items to hunt during missions. A Redditor described it as zany fun with explosive surprises—giant bowling balls, oversized props—you name it

Final Take

Get ready. A gritty, funny, action-packed zombie survival with base-building is heading your way on July 23. NetEase is merging nostalgia with deep gameplay. If you love campy 90s vibes, strategic depth, and zombie mayhem—this one’s for you. Pre-register, follow the socials, and prepare your shelter!
