<p>This ‘QuackMan’ roguelite takes inspiration from arcade classics like <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/pac-man/">Pac-Man</a>, blending nostalgia with modern <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/best/indie/">indie</a> innovation. Players will guide a determined Mama Duck on a mission to rescue her ducklings, battling an evil Lich and formidable bosses along the way.</p>

<p>Similar to Pac-Man, its gameplay combines fast-paced coin collection with combat mechanics. But instead of eating enemies, coins change a player’s weapon, allowing them to break walls and defeat a swarm of enemies. After each run, they can also visit the Toe Beans Café to purchase upgrades and unlock stylish gear that visually changes Mama Duck's appearance.</p>

<p>Throughout the game, players will face bosses that can reshape its hand-crafted pixel art style battlefield. Apart from that, like any good <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/best/roguelike/">roguelike</a>, it features a soundtrack composed by Richard Shallbetter and Mike Rieckenberg (Specks), which earned accolades at Minnesota's 2D Con for its immersive quality.</p> 

<p>Dungeons and Ducklings is packed with diverse zones, creative enemies, and deadly traps, which can result in an engaging never-ending challenge.</p> 

<p>Dungeons and Ducklings is designed for gamers of all ages. It has pretty straightforward controls and a whimsical charm that will captivate younger audiences. With full voice acting and quirky writing, the game promises an entertaining experience for everyone.</p>

<p>Players who want to try Dungeons and Ducklings before its release can try out <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/2898900/Dungeons_and_Ducklings/">the Demo on Steam</a>. It gives would-be dungeoneers a taste of what’s in store for this duckling’s imminent journey. It will cover the basics of its gameplay, dungeon-crawling and roguelike elements.</p> 

<p>Fans of retro-inspired indie games can look forward to the Linux and Mac versions shortly after, with a Nintendo Switch release planned for 2025.</p>
