Description
Death Road to Canada is a Randomly Generated Road Trip Simulator. You control and manage a car full of jerks as they explore cities, recruit weird people, argue with each other, and face gigantic swarms of slow zombies.

Death Road is built for replay value. Everything is randomized: locations, events, survivor appearances and personalities. There's a different story every time you play, set in a world that doesn't take itself too seriously.
  • Up to 500 zombies can hunt you down at a time. Fight them, try to squirm past, or run.
  • Use the character creator to put yourself, friends, and family in the game. Have them show up and get eaten!
  • Find special and rare events, weapons, and characters with strange abilities.
  • Make tough choices in Interactive Fiction events. Get different options and results based on the traits of your party members.
  • Teach a dog how to drive a car.
  • Throw chairs. Get your characters strong enough to throw large sofas.
  • Most family friendly zombie apocalypse game on the market! Any gore explosion is in a cute style. We censor the word d*ngus once.
  • Tell people to "Cool it."
  • 2 player local same screen co-op where you control up to 4 characters!

8/10
Death Road to Canada is a really enjoyable and successful roguelite. The usual conventions and trappings of the genre are well suited to both the setting and the presentation of the game, and the novel adaptations of the old Oregon Trail conventions add a great layer of strategy and randomness to the mix. Whilst the environments can be a little repetitive and the need for replaying numerous times is potentially offputting, there is so much to discover, and so many different game modes to unlock that it's easy to recommend. While playing this won't necessarily help with an exit strategy for if your country becomes occupied by rabid and dangerous monsters, it's certainly a fun entry in the exponentially growing roguelite scene.

Death Road to Canada is a challenging but fun RPG that offers plenty of reasons to make the voyage to Canada

There's no doubt that Death Road to Canada makes for a great time, regardless of whether you find yourself in the rogue-like or zombie survival camp. While the game doesn't do much to innovate the genre at large, it's hard to argue with having such a good time.

It's The Organ Trail ON STEROIDS!

Awesome game, extremely replayable. I loved the character creation system, it's simple but you are more than able to create a cool looking character or recreate characters (I made every character from the resident evil 1 cast for an example), The combat is very satisfying, scavenging for supplies is fun, you get a decend sized urban area to explore and loot buildings. If you need to make a last stand you can block doors and windos with furniture. The random events and interactions between characters while on the road are as funny as they are unpredictable. A must play if you like Organ Trail.

Fun Romp

Saw ProJared playing it and was very curious to get in on the zombie action myself. Glad I did. It's a lot more engaging and colorful than Organ Trail with better music, sound effects, and UI. I played it with a USB gamepad since the control scheme was a bit weird and the movements were a little stiff, but overall that didn't detract from the fun for me. One of my only other gripes was that the character creation interface was slow and arduous having to save and then alter the character you just made to create a new one to save. It's possible I missed something somewhere, but after making my character and a buddy I was too anxious to play to create new characters to randomly meet.

Great Game

It's fun and addicting. I watched many LPs of this game before buying it, and once buying it and playing it was still fun. Great game you can always come back to, fun if you have children as well.
