Release Date: July 22, 2016
An retro-stylized action adventure game with survival elements, developed by the Rocket Games studio. In Death Road to Canada the player's task is to travel the eponymous route from Florida to the city of Ontario in Canada and to survive the hordes of zombies attacking us along the way. In the game we control a team of up to five characters (human or animal), each of which has its own unique virtues and vices.
Death Road to Canada, released on PC, iOS, etc., is a 2D action game in top-down view. It was created by Rocketcat Games studio operating since 2009, the creators of Mage Gauntlet, Wayward Souls and Punch Quest.
Our task in Death Road to Canada is to eliminate zombie hordes, but this time the whole story offers a large dose of humor. We have to secure the route from Florida to Ontario, Canada and survive the hordes of zombies. Creatures behave in a typical way: they are slow, stupid, but they never stop chasing the heroes. In order to deal with a difficult and long journey, the player has to collect supplies, find other survivors and effectively eliminate starved zombies.
A very important aspect of the game is to create a team and maintain a positive atmosphere in it. A team of survivors can consist of up to five characters (people or animals), each of which has unique features, appearance, name and quirks. The player's behavior and interactions between the characters can provoke quarrels and conflicts, or lead the characters to a state of despair, rage or madness.
Almost all elements of the game are generated randomly so that the story is slightly different every time: the appearance of cities, team and the challenges.
Death Road to Canada is characterized by simple "pixelated" graphics and - as mentioned at the beginning - a large dose of humor, visible even in the appearance of the characters themselves.
Death Road to Canada was created largely thanks to financial from Kickstarter. By paying larger donations, the authors made it possible for players to leave their mark in the game by placing their pet ($500), creating a text for one of the journals that can be found in the game ($1,000) or deg a team member ($2,000).

DualShockers: 8 / 10 by Landon Luthi
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.
PlayStation LifeStyle: 8.5 / 10 by Elizabeth Henges
I had a lot of fun with Death Road to Canada. The title can really sink its zombie teeth into you, inviting you to do just one more playthrough before calling it quits. Everything about the package comes together well. Even though the developers could have taken shortcuts and brushed issues aside as nostalgia for The Oregon Trail, they instead gave us a game that invokes that nostalgia while improving upon the old formula.
TheSixthAxis: 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.
