10 Pointless (Yet Awesome) Character Abilities In Video Games
4. Quacking - Duck Game
Duck Game is a real unexpected treat. A four-player, weapon wielding, pixel-platformer free-for-all with - as the title suggests - ducks. Slap me with a damp slice, this is a bloody good time. Defeating your cohorts in ridiculous arenas with equally ridiculous weapons just brill fun. From glocks to shotguns, laser rifles to trombones you can actually play instead of use as a tool of death, Duck Game is one hell of a couch co-op or multiplayer romp.
Placing a perfectly pixelated cherry atop this cacophony of bullet holes and feathers is the ability to quack. You are a duck, at the end of the day. A simple single button used for nothing more than quacking at your slain enemies, or to mock someone holding a single fire pistol while you hold something reminiscent of a spartan laser. The devs even went far enough to have different hats have different animations per-quack. Completely pointless, sometimes infuriating, yet a wonderful thing to spam when you’re top of the leaderboard.
