Escape From Duckov Sells a Quack-Tastic 200,000 Copies

It turns out that dropping players into a punishing wasteland as a cute, gun-toting duck is a recipe for success. Escape From Duckov, the surprisingly deep and addictive top-down looter shooter from developer Team Soda, has already sold over 200,000 copies since its recent launch.

In a recent announcement, the developers thanked their rapidly growing community from the "bottom of our webbed feet," celebrating the massive milestone.

A Duck-Sized Army

"We did it - over 200,000 of you have entered the world of Duckov," the developers announced. They credited the players' "support, passion, and amazing energy" for bringing their "quirky little duckling universe to life." It’s a huge win for a small indie team, proving that a great concept can make a big splash.

It’s not just a meme, either. As I found in my in-depth review, the game has a dangerously compelling progression loop that keeps you coming back for "just one more run."

Devs on Bug Patrol

Alongside the celebration, Team Soda made it clear they’ve been working overtime since launch. Their immediate focus, they said, is on squashing bugs and optimizing performance to make the experience smoother for everyone.

They've been "laser-focused" on making the game "more stable, and way more fun," and they directly credited the player base for helping them. "It's all thanks to you - reporting issues, sharing feedback, and helping us make Duckov better every day," the post reads. It's a good sign when a developer is this engaged with its community right out of the gate.
