People love The Oregon Trail. In recent years, indie developers have introduced their own twists on the classic (yet brutal) formula, most commonly modernizing the setting with the zombie apocalypse, as opposed to migrating to the Wild West. Organ Trail is probably the most popular of this new wave of games, undoubtedly helped by its clever title, but it?s not the only title of its ilk. Death Road to Canada released on PC and mobile devices last year to rave reviews, but now it?s making the jump to PS4. How well does this play on The Oregon Trail stand up to the console crowd"
Attacked by a Feral Cat
Starting up a game of Death Road to Canada is easy enough. Just start up the game, pick your character and their partner (I go for the randomized characters), and go. You can even create your own custom characters, in case you want your friends and family to die horrible deaths in the zombie apocalypse. Like any good twist on The Oregon Trail, you?ll be subjected to random events while getting to Canada. Some of these events can be helpful, by the way of more characters or more precious resources, but mostly the events have a good chance of harming you, unless you know the correct way out of a situation. Or, you could just get attacked by a feral cat, which you consequently can do nothing to stop it clawing one of your friends? faces.
This may sound brutal and unforgiving, and in a way it is, but Death Road to Canada lightens the frustration up a bit with its quirky humor...
