Escape from Duckov nails the cozy-chaotic sweet spot: top-down raids with real stakes, punchy gunplay, and that delicious risk–reward loop where every scrap looted and upgrade crafted makes the next run sing. It’s extraction without the sweat-soaked mil-sim vibe—bright, brisk, and dangerously moreish.
If you crave tense retreats to the exit, hideout tinkering, escalating gear, and runs that can snowball from careful stealth to glorious quack-fueled carnage, you’re in the right pond. These picks echo Duckov’s heartbeat—whether through extraction tension, top-down precision, or roguelite momentum.
