Escape from Tarkov’s duck-themed competitor, Escape from Duckov, is soaring on Steam since being released days ago.
Its definitely only a competitor in name… it plays NOTHING like escape from tarkov
Its single player only, top down view, when you die you just go get your loot
when you die you just go get your loot
Unless you set difficulty to Extreme or in custom
But yeah, competitor in name but it copies quite a lot of Tarky elements and it adds some comedic elements.
The steam page says they’ve sold 500k copies now. Jesus. Game looks good and it’s PvE, so… might get it, I guess
The latest trash for the bandwagon crowd?
Gonna wait for a few influencers I like to check it out, but looks good? Seen a lot of forum peoples who took the plunge compare it very favorably to Zero Sievert.
But also kinda wary because apparently this was published (and developed by a team acquired by) Billibilli which is Chinese Youtube. And a LOT of those copies are believed to be Chinese region purchases. Doesn’t make it bad by any means but very much does paint a picture of “another meme game selling well”.
While game may looks meme, its mechanically sound and thought out. Hell, quest descriptions are good enough(yet to find any problems myself) to finish them without looking them up.
I sure as heck hope they allow Linux (basically, no ACE or anything of the sort). If they do, and the game’s free, I’ll check this sucker out to spite the Tarkov devs.
It runs well through Proton, no anti-cheat and game itself is cheap enough.
My only other concern is with the publisher, B-site (as it’s called in China, though I’m not from there). Otherwise, it doesn’t look that bad, despite being a top-down shooter instead of an FPS like Tarkov is.
Ubisoft, Activision, EA execs: what the fuck?
