Escape from Duckov is a deceptively deep top-down PvE looter-shooter where survival, strategy, and a little quacky charm collide. What looks like a lighthearted duck adventure quickly reveals itself as a tense, addictive journey of exploration, base-building, and high-stakes retrieval missions.
A First Look at Duckov
At first glance, Escape from Duckov might make you smile with its waddling protagonist, but don’t be fooled—this game is as much about grit as it is about giggles. You’re dropped into a hostile world where every step forward is a gamble. The goal? Push further into the unknown, gather resources, and ultimately find your way out of Duckov. But here’s the catch: if you’re taken out, your gear stays where you fell. To reclaim it, you’ll have to brave that same area again.
Building, Upgrading, and Customizing
Back at your base, the game opens up even further. You can:
- Build and expand your base for safety and crafting.
- Recruit and strengthen your team to tackle tougher missions.
- Upgrade totems that enhance your abilities.
- Develop skills across multiple categories.
- Customize your duck to reflect your own quirky style.
This depth is what keeps players hooked, and right now the player base is over 2 million!
With over 2 million players already diving in, Escape from Duckov has proven it’s more than just a parody of extraction shooters.
On the surface, it’s a duck with a gun. But beneath the feathers lies a layered survival experience where every decision matters. From repairing bridges to explore new ground and crafting tools to reclaiming lost gear and pushing deeper into hostile territory, Escape from Duckov is a game that rewards patience, planning, and persistence. I've been getting it in because it's just that fun.
You can grab it now for $17.99 on Epic Game Store, Steam, or the Mac App Store—and join the growing flock of players proving that this duck can definitely bite back.
