Escape from Duckov

An extraction shooter without other players

Escape from Duckov takes the extraction formula popularized by Escape from Tarkov, which it parodies, into a world of ducks. According to the official Steam description, players head out on raids to gather resources, return to their hideout to build it up and upgrade their gear, starting from nothing. The game is single-player only, against the environment (PvE), with no fights against other players.

According to Steam, Escape from Duckov launched on October 16, 2025 on PC, for Windows and macOS. Team Soda had not announced any console version at the time of checking.

What critics say

All three reviews used here were played on PC. GameGrin (8.5/10) praises tense, satisfying combat, careful localisation and smooth performance, with no drops below 60 frames per second. Vandal (7.6/10) calls it addictive and tough, with action complemented by survival and base upgrades, but regrets that the lack of multiplayer makes repetition show quickly, slow progression and uninspired missions. Worth Playing (7.5/10) calls it a pleasant surprise for patient players, spared from griefing by its solo focus, but notes slow progression may irk those wanting constant action, and no native controller support at the time of its review.
