34 of 34 · most liked firstIt's fun but it's very buggy. I'm currently stuck on Sette because I skipped a story prompt and can't progress anymore, even though I defeated the enemy. Also, there's a lot of potential falling through the map floor on Quattro. Save frequently and always keep 1 save slot as a "safe" load. Edit: After starting a new game, since my first save bugged out, I finally get to the end only to find out it ends on a cliffhanger. This game is too buggy and the plot too short.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →PRO - the plot engaged me and I wanted to see where it was going - a bit of social criticism - I liked the humor of some characters, they don't take themselves seriously and there is often a breaking of the fourth wall - there are many quotes AGAINST - the game is a technical mess - it's poorly optimized, even though I have a PC SIGNIFICANTLY higher than the recommended requirements, I often have frame drops, in some areas I don't exceed 40 fps - the camera moves in a weird way - some missions…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought the game as soon as the notification was sent to me by Steam. I consider this game as a charming game! There were some elements that were confusing especially at the start but the longer you play the game, the more charm and creativity comes to show! Short but sweet!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Flawed game with obvious lack of polish, awful long loading times, and broken mechanics, yet it grows on you for a few hours. This is the story about the village slacker who has the hots for the local girl. She’s a tease and doesn’t want anything to do with a loser who works as a delivery guy in the grocery store. Instead, she’s more interested in spirit warriors and will not even look at him. So he decided to give this whole spirit animal a try. However, instead of a dragon or any other…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it is very bugged at the moment displaying wrong language and no way to change it also no resoloution settings
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a technical mess. * Soft-locked in tutorial, had to load the autosave to continue playing * One of the missions asked to collect 3 items. Collected, can't complete the mission * Fall damage present with wonky movement - a recipe for disaster (dying to this helped me solve the quest issue above, though) * Camera movements feel off, especially vertical * Attacking and moving around during battles is not what you'd expect from similar battle types. Target acts poorly ---…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you grew up dealing with broken games that you or your parent's hard-earned money paid for and were not able to return so you were stuck with it... this will bring back that sense of enjoyment of having to deal with and finding some fun in those janky games. At first glance, this game looks colorful, casual and super silly, so these attributes give players the impression of being fun to play. Well, maybe yes, but mostly no. It is ridiculously janky that most casual players will just…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No, absolutely not. I got this game for a dollar, and I still feel scammed! It's easier to say what's done right in this game, than what's bad (which is most of it). The idea is decent, and so is the voice acting, aaaand that's it! Combat is passable when it connects, but most of the time it is bad. Movement in general is bad, and feels like it's the work of amateurs, with all due respect to the devs, but it is REALLY that bad. I have to unfortunately say, don't bother with this game,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really, really want to like this game, the basic ideas behind it are interesting and the writing is good enough to make me want to keep watching the trainwreck that is the protagonist's life when normally I'd consider him too obnoxious to care about. Unfortunately the game is an unplayable mess. The fire walls that are clearly meant to funnel you through the tutorial are full of holes you can use to escape the path, ranged enemies are able to evade all of your attacks except the duck dash by…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had a lot of fun with this game... but for the wrong reasons. Language randomly turning to portuguese, dropping through the map, player becoming invisible, actions (like jump) not available anymore until reload, water disappearance, buggy achievements and many more.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's quirky, playful, silly, includes a smol duck that is very smol, and it hurts to say that this game was a bad experience. It gets a positive review because there aren't many 3D action RPGs with these vibes, but this felt not good to play. The studio must have run out of funding, because there was too much ambition and heart to assume they would release it in this state otherwise. I'm gonna write a list. It's not a pros or cons list, just a list. Just a List: - The character designs are…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →WHAT THE HACK! First load…. Failed! Second load…. Failed! Third load…. Stuck on Loading 0%! Fourth load…. Language changed itself from English to Portuguese! Finally…. Was able to play as normal, thank goodness. A fun looking game at first sight, but please fix the bugs!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Like others mentioned, buggy but not in a fun way like Skyrim. Game glitched out on me early during rematch early boss battle and got stuck, had to restart a 3rd time. If people are going to pay for a game of this price, it should've been fixed first. I am disappointed at paying full price for a broken game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Funny little hack n slash, Kind of a poor mans kingdom hearts. I'm marking as recommended cuz of its charm. It's definitely janky, I had the first boss bug out on me (a simple reload fixed it) the combat and enemy ai isnt amazing, and the english text is a little broken with lots of grammatical errors (the voice acting is surprisingly solid, still with a few errors). There's alot wrong but alot right at the same time. Performance wise its very meh I get 30fps on steamdeck on low settings and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I found out that I'm in the game kkkkkk Came to check it out. What a nice game, great music, and the gameplay is super comfortable. Feels like a Brazilian Kingdom Hearts. Cozy game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is simply fun. Makes me smiling from the start. The idea of making a duck-hero is kinda.. unique?:D in general after nearly 1h im happy to play more. The graphics are cool, kind similar to a mariage of borderlands and kingdomhearts, with vibrant colors and a unique art style that instantly draws you in. Really solid game.

unlabelledView post →3/10 all the elements of a solid game, feels like nobody beta tested anything gave this game so many chances filled with bugs and all around broken. not even worth listing them all only about 13% of people have the most basic achievements, should tell you all you need to know you can fall under the map all over the place. make sure you save all the time using different saves statue of a ram with a chili pepper over its head the camera will pan to randomly and get stuck on, only fix is a quit…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thanks for coming to my stream where I showed the game "What the Duck" by Seize Studios. As I do the playthrough of this game I'll show some concept art of the weapons I made for the game. The first one that was shown was the "bowterfly":
unlabelledView post →Looks fun but its a bug filled mess.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Recommended, but with a Caveat - If you like comedy and silly goofy games, you will LOVE this game. - If you're looking for a game with solid combat and polish, look elsewhere. - The game is so cheap you don't need to wait for a sale to try it - it just comes down to if it's worth your time or not!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →reminds me of the good old PS1 days! pretty decent game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The plot is nice and simple, the main character is interesting, you have a lot to do while exploring (side quests, world mechanisms etc), the graphics are old school and fun. A few glitches you would expect from a game such as this, but nothing crazy. THE CONTROLS ARE THE WORST THING I'VE EVER SEEN !!!! You can't aim, dodge, fight or throw and this just ruins everything else. Basically, a great idea with really bad execution. Shame.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →CAPS LOCK FOR BOLDY!!! TIE GAME 4-4 WHAT THE DUCK IS THIS GAME!!!
unlabelledView post →Pokemon meets Yu-gi-oh meets memes and comedy hilarity. Main character is a bit of a tool but just adds to the hilarity when dealing with other protagonists. Think if team rocket got to be the main chars instead of ash and they were for good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://youtu.be/-daVuHGoykI Trying absolutely too hard to appear cool and suave does no favor as the gameplay itself is nothing to write home about.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay #Birdiverse! It’s time again to play #WhatTheDuck !? I snapped a few photos of this distant bird among ring-necked ducks. Looking at my first fuzzy photos I thought: okay, her head is weirdly dark but there’s a band on the bill: she’s a ring-necked. Then I found a less fuzzy photo. No eye ring, and…color blocks on her head?! Who IS she? Is she a hybrid? Natural variation? (Fig 1: weird RND Fig 2: weird RND with male Fig 3: Normal female RNDs and a male under same conditions.) #birding

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very charming game with a fun story, I love throwing my spirit animal and becoming a duck, the boss fights are very entretaining and having many weapons allows different gameplays and combos to explore.
