Putting a hilariously unexpected twist on the hit extraction shooter Escape from Tarkov, developer Team Soda has launched a new trailer and demo for the top-down looter shooter Escape from Duckov. Available exclusively for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, Escape from Duckov sees players taking on the role of rogue militant birds as they loot for weapons, build shelter bases, and escape the dangers of a strange world.
There have been a surprising number of video games starring ducks launched in recent years, along with titles featuring geese, squirrels, and other generally harmless critters. As the playable character in Escape from Duckov will learn, though, things are not always as they may seem.

Team Soda and publisher bilibili released a brand-new trailer for Escape from Duckov to coincide with the game's demo release on May 29. In Escape from Duckov, players take on the role of a young duck who has just awoken from a dream and is forced to leave the safety of a base shelter to venture out and fight for supplies. Players will be able to loot and customize a variety of weapons, such as knives, shotguns, and assault rifles, and can befriend various NPCs to try and build a stronger unit of soldiers for increased chances of survival. Like other extraction shooter video games, getting knocked down forces an inventory wipe, so players will need to put their looting and shooting skills to the test to survive in Escape from Duckov.

In addition to item looting and avian combat, Escape from Duckov features a central base-building mechanic. Players will need to enhance their underground base to keep their supplies safe and stockpile weapons, though they will need to be wary of potential back-stabbing from allies. Offering a simple first-time extraction shooter game for newcomers that will also appeal to long-time veterans of the genre, Escape from Duckov is offering a free demo from May 29 until July 1.
Some of the best looter shooter games gained popularity for their use of lighthearted humor, with the Borderlands franchise often being hailed as a standout of the genre for its comedic approach to combat. Whether Escape from Duckov will provide the same hilarious antics balanced with satisfying gameplay remains to be seen, but interested players can check out the limited-time demo and can stay tuned for more news on upcoming looter shooters and extraction video games.
