Is Ducky: The Brave worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who want a difficult adventure about guiding an animal through a new environment
- Players who enjoy reaching a destination through environmental challenges
- Players seeking a journey with animal encounters and no game-over state
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a broad adventure with many distinct systems may find the focus on one mountain ascent narrow.
- Players who prefer conventional game-over states may find the continuous journey structure limiting.
- Players looking for a large cast of playable characters may not find the single-duck premise suitable.
Our take on Ducky: The Brave
The no-game-over structure keeps the ascent continuous, but gives up conventional failure states and their consequences. The game also concentrates on one river-bound mountain journey, leaving less room for broader progression systems or multiple destinations.
What is Ducky: The Brave?
Guide Ducky, a pet duck, beyond the fence and into a new world.
Follow a flowing river toward the top of a mountain while facing natural elements and obstacles. The journey also includes helping animal friends in distress. There is no game-over state, so the ascent continues as long as Ducky keeps moving. The game centers on discovering what awaits at the mountain’s summit.
