The brilliant Death Road to Canada was probably my favorite iOS game to land in the App Store last year. A completely bonkers mash-up of randomly-generated zombie survival RPG, action game, and text-based interactive fiction game, it’s one of those combinations that, in a sane world, never would have worked.
This week, the game got a perfectly timed 2018 New Year’s upgrade, adding a few nifty features that promise to make a brilliant game even, err, brillianter. Check out the deets below.
A big upgrade
The new upgrade adds additional optional tweaks to the touch controls, further improving a control mechanism I was very happy with. You can also get Zumbo Points from finding golden sculls, which randomly spawn around the map.
The creators have additionally added “Sewer Rat” and “Department of Motor Vehicles” city encounters, new characters, and extra weapons. Not content with the current weapons on offer? No problem: you can now try out a sai, chainsaw hand, double barrel shotgun, and farmer’s shotgun. (The devs have also added a whole lot of under-the-hood tweaks and bug fixes, for good measure.)
It’s really great to see indie developers show so much dedication to improving a game that was already superb. Death Road to Canada costs $11.99, which is reasonably pricey for an iOS game, but well worth it for something of this quality. If you’re a zombie fan, a road trip fan, or just a fan of fun original games, you shouldn’t miss this excellent title!
