Death Road to Canada

A great couch co-op game, I love that you can make custom characters. I feel like after a few runs you run out of content (the unlockables are some special characters and additional traits)

The only thing i hate about this game is how easy it is.

What do you mean i have 155 hours?

Oh.

fun game, but oh my god do i suck at this game

I put all my friends in the game and they constantly get killed in horrific ways.
10/10

Hey , they mentioned the fictional country of Canada , Thats were Terrance and Philip takes place

This is a very amazing game with great replay ability long and lasting game play. It can be a casual game or a grind game. the best part and my Favourite part is every game and person you meet is different so it dosent get to repetitive. 9/10

I love this one. Every adventure feels fresh with all the different characters and occurances, I never get bored of it. Highly recommend if you love Oregon Trail type stories and zombies :)

I really want to like this game, but the random RNG bs that can take an amazing run to a literal dead run in 1 or 2 turns is just unreal. This game conceptually is really fun, but in practice it just feels like an annoying slog.

Half RNG based Oregon Trail (with a zombie apocalypse setting), half side-scrolling hack-n-slash zombie survival game.

Insanely underrated and addicting, doesn't take itself too seriously and has the perfect blend of combat and rpg. The small bits of dialogue is always entertaining and silly (and pretty much never goes on too long), while also giving each and every customizable character so much personality and charm. Each run gets me so invested in the crew, and I find myself comparing it to an interactive TV show. Somewhat heavy on the resource management, but the inventory aspect of the game gives it a ton of depth and a relatively high skill ceiling. DRTC bleeds with love and passion at every turn, and offers a fantastic, replayable experience every time you revisit--both solo and multiplayer.

9.6/10
(pls add some extra loyalty to the nurturing trait)

living the apocalyptic dream

b+

Fantastic Game, excellent soundtrack and visuals to go alongside the cartoony horrors. Wish they'd update the phone version to the most recent pc patch though.

This is game is just so fun, especially with friends. My only wish is that it had online multiplayer, but oh well. Can't recommend enough.

the game is like 30x harder when i play with my friend

A game I haven't opened since 2018 because it was hard I think? I don't remember, but I also had fun with it, so maybe give it a go. Maybe I should give it a go again...

It's a lot of fun but remote play is buggy and doesn't work.

This game is almost as replayable as The Binding of Isaac, and I have a ton of hours into that game. Really fun to make a few characters and go for a quick run for an hour or so. There are tons of different unlockable traits and game modes too, adding to the replayability. It's really hard to actually make it to Canada until you get used to the game's mechanics, but with every run you learn a little more and figure out the best ways to move forward. If you like roguelites/roguelikes, then you'll most likely get a lot out of this game.

Still holds up as a great title. Fun blend of roguelite elements and adventure game feeling with arcadey beat-em-up gameplay. Much potential for variation between each run, for both in-game events and user play-style. Packed with character and evident passion from the dev team, supported by the continued updates as of 2024. Incredible replayability; nearly effortless to pick up and play again whenever. Cheap as you like during Steam sales. Grabbit.

the peaceful road to the united states

they put in my favorite character ever dont sh*t your pants guy 10/10

My first brainrot experience as a youngster, would recommend

Got betrayed by a dog with a shotgun

Honestly one the best games I have ever played. Have owned on cosole and now PC endlessly fun. Pick up and play with a buddy or your significant other especially if on sale.

This is what good gaming is.

I have no complaints, only praise.

There's so much RNG to the actual gameplay and also just for funny.

You only get stronger as your run count increases which is great.

There is always a sense of accomplishment and progress on each run, no matter how short (maybe unless REALLY short).

I've had Santa Claus and Jason (the murderer with the mask) on my team. Santa was nice, Jason.. well people started disappearing and he was getting huge moral boosts every time that happened... Sus.

It goes on sale frequently for like 4$, def worth it at a low price.

Death Road to Canada is an excellent blend of pixel art charm and intense, zombie action. The gritty, pixelated visuals perfectly match the game's atmosphere, creating a chaotic yet satisfying experience in every zombie encounter. The pixelated gore adds a unique touch—there's a strangely rewarding feeling in stepping on organs and watching them squish underfoot.

The combat, while straightforward, offers a surprising level of depth. The game demands careful dodging, stamina conservation, and the right weapon for each situation. This blend of skill and simplicity ensures that each encounter is engaging. The game's unique blend of "Oregon Trail" elements with zombies feels fresh, and the variety of weapons, locations, and survivors guarantees that each run is a new experience.

The music and sound design are also standouts for me. The game nails its audio, from the fantastic title screen music to the tracks that play during gameplay. The zombie growls and crunches of your weapons really immerse you in the experience, and hearing that buzzing noise when losing a survivor is ingrained into my brain at this point and it will be for you as well.

The couch co-op feature adds a whole layer of fun. It's one of those games that's even more enjoyable with friends, especially when you start creating in-game versions of yourself, family members, or even wild, random characters like Rick Harrison from Pawn Stars. Losing someone to a horde of zombies feels personal, adding an emotional weight to each decision you make.

What I loved most was the balance between lighthearted humor and moments of genuine tension. The game doesn't take itself seriously, with its funny dialogue and random situations, but the siege events are seriously no joke. Running low on supplies, weapons, or survivors during these moments feels terrifying, making them some of the most memorable parts of the game for me.

The randomness of each playthrough is punishing but equally rewarding. You never know if your run to Canada is doomed, only to have an unexpected event save you—like a Jason Voorhees lookalike named "Mason" showing up to turn the tide in your favor with his overpowered machete. That unpredictability keeps the game fresh and addicting.
Overall, Death Road to Canada is a unique and endlessly replayable experience. It's worth every penny with challenging gameplay, fun co-op, and hilarious yet tense scenarios. If you're a fan of zombies, pixel art, and roguelike mechanics mixed with Oregon Trail, this one's hard to pass up.

The best man! The moment I saw the Gnome and heard the Punch Quest sound effects I bought it instantly. This game is great! Awesome game developers! Thanks for this :)

I died almost immdeiatly but my buddy John and a witch made it to the border

10/10 would die on the road to canada again

Really great game! you have to manage your resources and make good decisions, and the game is challenging but not impossible
Unlock lots of fun features and game modes!
It's a very silly game and will keep you entertained all the way through the run :)

A quirky game that is super fun, replayability is strong and love the amount of customisation you are offered.

The controls of this game are awful! You cannot even configure it in the settings. Unless they fix everything with the controls (joysticks), it is not worth the spending the money!!

A very fun roguelike that keeps things fresh and interesting!

Gordon Freeman is in this game. 10/10.
For me, this game manages to walk the line between "fun" and "super hard" very well. The only time I've beaten it was on the easiest difficulty where you get a bunch of rare/OP characters. The gameplay is funenough to make me not get mad, and just start a new game.
You can make custom characters, and the game mode options allow you to pick between most of the survivors being randomly generated, or being selected from your custom ones. I feel like there are a few basic options missing from the custom character creator but it still provides a good variety.
The traits have plenty of variety and allow for your custom characters to act close-enough to whoever you are trying to recreate for it to be extremely entertaining. You start with a good variety, but also collect points while playing that allow you to unlock new traits/perks and upgrade existing ones, which is fun.

Just an all round fun game. Either solo or with friends - hopefully you will make it to Canada.

The concept of this game is really good, the execution is a mix of the RNG making the game almost unplayable and the zombies beign made of concrete and grabing you to the point that you can´t move.
A shame honestly.

Incredibly fun game and it keeps getting updates which is super cool!

An amazing game! I had tons of fun playing it, even if it was just by myself!

love this game👍. Sure would be a shame if it took me 28.9 hours to get to Canada... Still a great game!

I like when my 2 hour run gets cut short because my team decides to murder each other when they're grumpy

fun text adventure with 2d zombie combat

Honestly who cares. Body Type A. Body Type B. If you want to push an agenda. You also want negative reviews from people who dislike agenda pushing. We know it's Male and Female. What the hell else could it be>? Stop being weird and label things correctly. If you want to add transexual then add that as the third option. Simple.

Pretty simple with a lot of potential if the devs keep at it. More than worth $15 to try out.

Oregon Trial with zombies.

I played this game back in high school and I wanted to give it another go. Thank God I did, because it's just as fun as it was back then, if not even more. My love of pixel graphics, zombie apocalypses, and groan-inducing humor coalesce into this amalgamation of a roguelike that I find myself playing from time to time. There's variety to be found in the game modes and encounters you run into. You're also given the ability to customize your own survivors, which I've sunk a few hours into. It's even got a bop of a soundtrack to boot. This game would be all the more perfect if it had online multiplayer, but I'll take what I can get. So hop on in,

> LET'S BOOGIE <

Online Co-op would be even better. Great game

Fun roguelike that can tell decently tragic and fairly funny stories about road trips and zombies. Events do eventually run out though, apart from those very rare events that may happen once in a run, which in my opinion kinda sucks; you need to go through another 40+ minute run just to have something unique happen again. Still, I recommend it.

My dog killed a zombie with a wrench. 10/10

I've been playing this game for years (I had it on the switch prior to steam) and it has always been a blast. A little bit rage inducing sometimes, but the best prodecural/rng games are. Highly recommend.

A demon possessed my dog and asked me for a slice of pizza... this is enough for me to recommend the game.

I must conquer everything, even Death itself shall be mine!

A funny roleplaying couch co-op that makes for several good laughs with friends/family.

Oregon Trail meets Hotline Miami meets Zombie Survival.

Surprisingly fun indie game with a lot of unlockables and replayability. It's best with a group of friends on the couch. Something to know before playing co-op is that even when you don't have a full party of characters for people to play, players can still play as rats. They're basically there to bite zombies and run a screen for the human characters until more party members can be recruited.

The multiplayer interface is definitely the weakest part of the game. It's clunky, not intuitive, and could really use an overhaul. It's usable once you get used to it, but figuring it out requires some trial and error because there's really not a tutorial for it.

The easter eggs are pretty amusing. I haven't managed to earn a single achievement yet, but I've recruited the world's last bodybuilder, a magical anime girl, found the dog-car from Dumb and Dumber. Seems like there's a whole lot left to discover.
