    I got my money's worth, and I'm sure I'll pick it up again from time to time.. but the difficulty is just too high. There are too many random events that result in your untimely doom. The permanent bonuses you can buy with in-game currency (not freemium, thank goodness) don't offset this enough. I think I did at least 10 runs and only got to the border of Canada once, at which point I wasI got my money's worth, and I'm sure I'll pick it up again from time to time.. but the difficulty is just too high.

    Lots of fun, especially with custom characters.

    The RNG is pretty rough sometimes, though.

    The RNG in this game makes me want to cry in a corner but besides that it's pretty good.

    I made one of my custom characters Mike Wheeler.

    Just wanted to add that.

    The tough difficulty spikes found can be off-putting, but if you love a good challenge then this could be the game for you. Death Road To Canada is easily one of my favourite surprises on the Switch currently.

    Death Road to Canada is a delightful text-based survival adventure that manages to inject a bit of life into the shuffling zombie genre. Perfect for short bursts, this is a road you'll want to go down.

    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.
