Published by BILIBILI GAME and developed by Team Soda, Escape from Duckov (or simply Duckov) is a top-down PvE extraction shooter where adorable ducks face off in high-stakes combat and looting missions. The game is heading to PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as Mac via the Mac App Store and Steam, with a full release expected later this year.
Before the official launch, players can get a taste of the action with a brand-new demo, available starting May 29 on Steam and the Epic Games Store. Duckov is also set to appear during Steam Next Fest from June 10, giving players even more opportunities to dive into this uniquely quirky world.
What is Duckov?
Duckov offers a refreshing, lighthearted take on the traditionally intense extraction shooter formula. Rather than gritty realism, it serves up strategic chaos with animated enemies, fog-of-war mechanics, random loot, and a cartoon duck twist. Beneath its playful exterior lies a surprisingly deep mix of base-building, weapon customization, and progression systems, making it both accessible and rich in replay value.
Key Features:
- An Extraction Shooter for Everyone
- Duckov is built around easy-to-learn, hard-to-master mechanics. Its PvE top-down combat provides the tension of an extraction shooter without the steep learning curve, making it suitable for both newcomers and seasoned players.
- Sneak or Shoot—The Choice is Yours
- Resource management is at the core of every decision. Players can go in guns blazing or take the stealthy route, scavenging loot and planning an escape while avoiding being caught empty-handed.
- Build the Ultimate Base
- Explore diverse maps, gather strategic materials, and invest in your base. Every decision contributes to building a spaceship that will help you escape the planet’s impending destruction.
- From Peashooter to Powerhouse
- With an in-depth crafting and weapon customization system, players can tailor their arsenal to match their playstyle. It’s a feature designed to keep players coming back for more.
