Death Road to Canada Reviews
Death Road to Canada is an action-packed, bizarre, and challenging road trip through the zombie apocalypse that needs you to have an equally strong sense of humor.
This road is full of undead and you have to fight and find some food. It is good rogue-like game - at least for few hours.

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.
I have to say, I enjoyed Death Road To Canada much more than I ever thought I would, which is bad on my part. It isn’t meant to be played as some epic journey that you play for hours at a time and that’s not a bad thing. Every run in the game is different, meaning that it doesn’t get as tedious or tiresome as other games that require you to start over from scratch when you die.
Death Road to Canada is zombie apocalypse take on Oregon Trail. You have limited resources, limited manpower, and limited firepower. Everything is quite scarce and only zombies can thrive in such a world. It's fun, but not impressive. And as Oregon Trail, can be frustrating.

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.
Death Road to Canada is another in a long line of solid indie titles on the Switch. Great fun on the go, loads of replay value, and lots of fun as a 2-player co-op game
Featuring a character-creation tool that will keep player amused for long, an outstanding sense of humour and a multiplayer mode that will extend its lifespan, Death Road to Canada is a very welcome addition to the Nintendo Switch catalogue and is easily one of the best indie games available on Nintendo's console.

Death Road to Canada offers a dark premise with clever dialogue and an attitude that never takes itself too seriously. You will have hours of entertainment hacking and slashing the undead and making decisions that haven’t given you this much anxiety since Oregon Trail. However, even with randomized journeys, it may not be enough to bring you back in the long term, especially considering how hard it is to succeed, gain Zombo points, and unlock better character traits. It needs more braiiiins for that.
Death Road to Canada manages to breathe life into the zombie genre and create a fun, engaging experience that’s perfect for the pick-up-and-play nature of the Nintendo Switch. It looks simple, but its pixelated veneer hides a surprisingly complex survival game that’ll grab you like a horde of zombies
Despite being two years since its original release on PC, Death Road to Canada is still as brilliant as ever.
Death Road to Canada is a joyful return to the simpler things in gaming. While it may not have the power of a AAA developer behind it, it certainly does have what AAA developers lack nowadays, a sense of fun.
There is some fun to be had here for sure, which is definitely best experienced with friends, but that doesn't make up for its issues and overall lacklustre action.
It's easy to recommend Death Road to Canada to anyone who's into either zombies, roguelikes or both, as it comes with its pros and cons. If you hate roguelikes, you probably won't enjoy this one, but if you're on the fence, be assured that this is one of the best executions in recent times, even if just for the absurd story and setup.
Death Road to Canada may look like a generic indie game but it's surprisingly unique in its decision-based campaign.
Death Road to Canada is easy to recommend to gamers who enjoy various genres. Kudos to developers Rocketcat Games and Madgarden for blending action, survival, adventure, narrative and even light RPG mechanics beautifully into a single game.
Death Road to Canada is a very, very fun game. You can experience it either in single player or in co-op with various different game modes and a deep character creation mechanic. No two playthroughs will be the same and each time you die you will want to spend your Zombo Points and jump straight back in for more. I honestly can't think of any reason why you shouldn't pick this game up.
Death Road to Canada brings the good and the bad to the Nintendo Switch. Once again we see a 2D title that has great music with fun and engaging gameplay. On the other hand we get screwed by RNG on a near-perfect run and lose the want to play another round. Depends on how you look at it.
Death Road to Canada is a quality game with a good deal of depth, both with the characters and the gameplay proper.
Death Road to Canada is very fun when played on your own or with a friend in local co-op, and I really liked the fact that each run was different from the previous one since it kept me coming back for more. Sure, the game is hard but if you're careful and plan your moves you'll eventually make it to your destination… right? Be sure to stock up on supplies, find the permanent upgrades, and kill as many zombies as you can!
