About
Over 10 million ducks get killed per year by hunters, a statistic that would be much lower if ducks were combat trained. Enter DUCKSIDE, a persistent world survival game like DayZ or Rust… but you’re a duck, and so is everybody else!!
Wake up at the quack of dawn and put those webbed feet to use or take flight across an expansive island, where valuable resources and egg-citing treasures await any lucky duckys fortunate enough to discover them.
DUCKSIDE isn't just about surviving; it’s about getting into the mind of a duck. Being a duck. Feeling the cold steel of a machine gun on your feathers. The heat of a grenade exploding next to you. And the peace of mind that comes with settling down after a long day, in a house you built out of trash that you’d looted off some guy's corpse. Don’t be a chicken, be a firequacker.
Harvest resources, craft weapons and tools, and build shelters to protect your loot and your life.
How do Ducks even hold weapons and tools, you ask? Who cares silly goose? With a crafting system as deep and robust as this, they were wise to adapt, else they’d just be hanging around in ponds all day waiting to be added to that “10 million” statistic.
Are you really a Duck if you can’t fly? No, you’re a penguin or something. So yes, you CAN fly; we’ve introduced an egg-cellent player controller with sophisticated flight mechanics allowing you to glide, hover, accelerate and dive, even whilst shooting and fighting!
An alive Duck can keep his gear safe and his teammates alive.. A dead duck however, is much less useful. Afterall - birds of a feather stay together.
Don’t be a duckling - get yourself equipped, build nests for safety, storage, survival, and strategic advantage, but be warned: nothing is truly safe. Every structure can be destroyed, every stash of loot raided, and every migration could end in death.
Play alone or create a flock with other ducks to build, explore, fight, and survive together. Ducks are fiercely territorial, so encounters with opposing ducks can and will often result in some feathers being ruffled.
ARE YOU GONNA BE A SITTING DUCK, OR A BIRD OF PREY?

Reviews
t's been a very long time since I've reviewed a game, but I believe Duckside deserves a positive one. Is it the most active game? No. But the community and overall experience make it an absolute blast to play. Unlike Rust, not everyone you come across is looking to backstab, betray, or kill you on sight. The moment I joined, I asked in chat if the game was dead. A sad "yes" came from 3–4 people. They all said it was a shame because the game has so much potential. I ended up talking to a guy named Eric who has 3,759 hours in the game. Coming from Rust, I asked him if it was still worth giving a shot. "Yes," he replied. So I did. I got killed while building my first base. The guy who killed me actually apologized in chat and said my resources would be put to good use for his base. That's not something you see in Rust or Ark. Sadly, it feels like the developers have given up on the game, or at least it seems that way. But the community hasn't given up yet, and that's what keeps Duckside worth playing.
Had lots of potential, but the devs scrapped it and nobody plays anymore :(
Full of cheaters and rust knockoff
Game is crap and abandoned.
Game doesn't work, in the times I've booted up never gotten past the first loading screen

It's pretty fun but some players get op by camping and stealing from newb players. That is making the game pretty unbalanced.
