Once you pick your destination - an abandoned apartment building or an arcade, to name a couple of examples - you'll equip your survivors with up to three weapons (fewer for certain special characters) and send them out to loot. The action sequences in Death Road to Canada play out like a simplified version of a 16-bit 2D brawler, e.g., Final Fight, Streets of Rage.

You will join a ragtag group of survivors on the long trek from Florida to Canada, a rumored place of safety, comfort, and universal health care. It's a rogue-like zombie survival game with a heavy choose-your-own-adventure element and a dark, irreverent sense of humor.
