There are dozens of unique characters to play as and interact with on your journey. While itвЂ™s like plenty of other indie games, I was especially impressed with the variety of character models. Just one look at the screenshots and you can see that Death Road to Canada has a retro, pixel art style. Attitude, composure, loyalty, moral, wits and more are all affected either positively or negatively and their performance in battle will reflect that.ДЄnother area that shows a lot of polish is the presentation the graphical style, music, writingвЂ¦each is well done and many times the game made me laugh out loud. Lastly, as situations change, so does the status of your group members. With support for 2-player local multiplayer and 4 characters in a party, there are some nice combinations to be had. Choosing which perks and traits to upgrade, and which pairings of characters work best for you adds some depth and strategy. Perks can be upgraded with ZOMBO points, which you will find randomly and keep even after your run ends. The Surgeon perk gives an extra point in the medical and shooting categories and starts the character off with a scalpel. A character with the Megabuff perk will move slowly but starts with a metal pipe and 3 extra strength points. The fact that every character and buddy in the game has their own perk and trait means that different pairings can compliment each other nicely. Here you can see your supplies, character health, morale and fuel. ItвЂ™s that randomness that gives Death Road to Canada lasting appeal and unlimited replay value. Where you end up and how the zombies are acting is completely randomized, a run might last many days or sadly end on day one. New weapons can be picked up and used in the field along with objects that can be used to block zombie paths or as projectiles.

When you stop in an area, your main goal is to move quickly and search for supplies.

Each choice has consequences whether that be finding/wasting supplies, a positive/negative change in morale or other character attributes. You and your crew might stumble upon a campsite with other survivors, but stopping risks being robbed and continuing to drive will make you tired and slow the next day. What makes the choices so intriguing is that you genuinely donвЂ™t know whether the results will be good or bad. The scenario will begin, and the player can often steer its direction based on one of a few choices. The basic concept is that you are fleeing a zombie outbreak and heading to Canada, where you hear it is safe. In many ways, Death Road to Canada plays like a choose-your-own-adventure story. Death Road to Canada is a 2D action game in which players must scavenge for supplies, fend of zombie hordes and make tough decisions.
