How do you fancy heading off to Canada on a randomly generated zombie filled road trip? Yeah, sounds great doesn’t it!
Announced today by UKIYO Publishing, Rocketcat Games and Madgarden is Death Road to Canada – a pixel perfect roguelike zombie basher!
Coming to Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch in the Spring of 2018, Death Road to Canada on console will include all the major releases found in the PC version of the game, as you get to head off on a journey from Florida to Ontario, soaking up the immaculately gruesome pixel-art take on the undead apocalypse.
As you prepare to face off against near insurmountable odds, Death Road To Canada will task you with surviving its brutal, hyper-violent combat and over-the-top, looted weaponry by scavenging the derelict environment. Hilarious decisions will have to be made along the way – but at least you’ve got the option of doing this either alone or in its two-player co-op mode.
Tipped off that Canada might just be free from the threat of zombies, the long, winding Death Road is all that stands between you and your end goal. Exploring iconic sites such as Y’all-Mart and the Muscle! Bomb!! Gym!!!, you get to meet and recruit a host of strange and rather bizarre companions along the way.
With a heavy emphasis on the narrative – yes, this is still a randomly generated roguelike, Death Road To Canada features Interactive Fiction events making or breaking friendships, all the while adding character-driven drama to the blood and guts chaos of combat.
“We believe Death Road To Canada is perfectly suited to be played in both the home and on the go,” said Kepa Auwae, Co-Founder of Rocketcat Games. “Single player is great of course, but the local co-op mode brings a slower, more tactical pace to the game. With the Nintendo Switch’s Joy Con controllers and the promise of couch play on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, we’re proud to share the console experience of Death Road to Canada with players across the world.”
It is a far cry from the sunshine state at the end Route 66, but still Death Road To Canada looks like something to keep an eye on. We’ll be sure to let you know exactly when the road trip of a lifetime will begin!
Hopefully I can get this on disc!
