Games like Deadside

If Deadside left you wanting something tense and competitive, you have options. These games offer a similar pull for your backlog. Many of them are fun to share with friends.

DUCKSIDE
A persistent-world survival game where everyone is a duck. Chop trees, craft weapons, build a nest and take to the air: you can glide, hover and dive while shooting. Raid other ducks, get raided, rebuild. It is Rust's survival loop with webbed feet, a cartoony look and flight that changes every fight.
