Everything about the package comes together well. The title can really sink its zombie teeth into you, inviting you to do just one more playthrough before calling it quits. I had a lot of fun with Death Road to Canada. You can also embark on shorter and longer trips, and eventually some really crazy modes unlock, but those are only for those with strong wills and a lot of patience. In addition to the normal mode, there’s a Rare Characters mode, wherein you can recruit strangely familiar but (usually) powerful characters to make Death Road to Canada a bit easier. There’s also a bunch of different modes you can try out, although only a few are available from the get-go. It’s a nice touch, and offers a reason to keep pushing through playthroughs and slowly make your characters better. You can use these points after death in order to strengthen innate skills and more, making your next trip slightly more survivable. By surviving particularly dangerous situations or exploring particularly well, you’ll earn Zombo Points. When you die, usually the run isn’t a complete waste. Learning when to attack and when to run is integral to survival in Death Road to Canada, and usually the answer is the latter. You can’t just swing most weapons around constantly do that and your character will do less damage and take a lot longer in between swings. You’ll be able to hold onto three weapons at once, and each weapon has its own attack power as well as how tired it’ll make the character swinging it feel. When scavenging for resources on your journey, you’ll have to protect yourself from the zombies in the vicinity, usually by hitting them with a blunt object. Despite my multiple failures, I kept coming back for more, as sessions tend to be quick and enjoyable, even if they all end in some gruesome death or another. I can’t be too upset about my car flipping over and killing everyone but the dog when said dog also happens to be a pug, that’s a fantastic mechanic. This may sound brutal and unforgiving, and in a way it is, but Death Road to Canada lightens the frustration up a bit with its quirky humor and upbeat soundtrack. Or, you could just get attacked by a feral cat, which you consequently can do nothing to stop it clawing one of your friends’ faces. Some of these events can be helpful, by the way of more characters or more precious resources, but mostly the events have a good chance of harming you, unless you know the correct way out of a situation. Like any good twist on The Oregon Trail, you’ll be subjected to random events while getting to Canada. You can even create your own custom characters, in case you want your friends and family to die horrible deaths in the zombie apocalypse. Just start up the game, pick your character and their partner (I go for the randomized characters), and go. Starting up a game of Death Road to Canada is easy enough.
