Escape From Duckov Surges Past 300,000 Players in Just 10 Days!

What’s the Quack About?

So, you might’ve heard of Escape From Duckov—and no, it’s not just some wacko fever dream prompted by the latest TikTok trends. This little gem is a cheeky homage to Escape From Tarkov, and boy, does it hit different! Who wouldn’t want to dive into a world of cutesy animals while dodging bullets and snagging loot? Launched on October 16, this gem has already attracted over 300,000 players at once, if you can believe it!

Duck, Dive, and Survive!

Now, when PC Gamer’s own Lincoln Carpenter tried his hand at this game, he initially thought it was just a hoax — a meme-in-the-making. But it turned out to be the real deal! Carpenter tousled his hair and declared, “Beneath its silly facade, Escape From Duckov is genuinely an awesome top-down shooter, ingeniously transforming the extraction shooter experience into an addictive solo adventure.”

Okay, single-player extraction shooter? Sounds like a bit of an oxymoron, right? Well, Duckov flips that notion on its head! With tons of quests and a customizable base for your upgrades, it feels more like a roguelite RPG where ‘survival of the fittest’ takes on an entirely new quack! There’s even fishing—now here’s the real debate: love it or hate it?

Regardless of your take on puns and ducks, hats off to Team Soda! It seems they’ve struck a nerve, creating a fun and enjoyable title that has players coming back for seconds. In today’s gaming landscape, we need all the quirky critters we can get. Duckov is definitely a big victory compared to Team Soda’s last release, which barely snagged 1,631 players at one time. Oof!

For those who want to hop on the quack-train and join in on the fun, Escape From Duckov is currently on sale for just $15.83 until October 29. So, grab your gear and get ready to embrace the madness! Who knew dodging existential dread could be so much fun?
