As a duck, players will gather resources to <a href=\"https:\/\/igamemag.com\/how-to-craft-your-base-in-duckside-a-beginners-guide\/\">build bases<\/a> and ensure safety from other players and animals. Gameplay will involve activities like archery, resource collecting, and building bases.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spcdn.shortpixel.ai\/spio\/ret_img,q_cdnize,to_auto,s_webp:avif\/igamemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Duckside-image-3-3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"new survival game duckside image 2\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\"><\/p>\n<p>Like other survival games, mastering the early game may be difficult for Duckside players. However, taking on the role of a duck may provide a new experience that appeals to both veteran survival fans and new players. Progression will involve unlocking tools and weapons like axes and firearms. Humans also appear but their role is undefined.<\/p>\n<p>The Steam previews outline basic survival elements such as chopping wood and mining stone. Distinguishing Duckside is that players can wield weapons as ducks. More details on beta length and full release are unavailable now. Adopting the unconventional perspective of an armed duck may attract interest, but it remains to be seen if Duckside stands out among many survival options.&nbsp;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spcdn.shortpixel.ai\/spio\/ret_img,q_cdnize,to_auto,s_webp:avif\/igamemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Duckside-image-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indie publisher tinyBuild announced the new survival game Duckside, which allows players to take on the unusual role of a duck.
