Death Road to Canada 12+

I have so much respect for the creators of this game, this is by far the greatest game on the iPhone (not including hearthstone, that’s a computer game). This game is so refined and polished to the point where I can’t believe it’s only 15 bucks! Honestly the replay value of this game with its tons of events, characters, vehicles, weapons, areas, game modes, and hilarious jokes is unmatched by any console game I can think of. It’s hard, and sometimes deaths can be aggravating, but each death lets you learn, okay, next time I won’t try to wrestle a moose! The custom character creator is brilliant with traits and perks of your friends and family give the game a personal touch and some funny scenarios, like how the “Berserk” trait has a character maul 3 bandits to save the group without a thought. The game is just simply a blast to play, from the careful decision making to the crazy stressful sieges. I won’t spill too luck of the gameplay because I want people to experience it for themselves. Put short, this game is a masterpiece, 5 stars without question. And one more thing, the developers listened to my complaint, I won’t say what, because again spoilers, but yeah this company cares about their games!

This is a very underrated game, and it has an amazing amount of effort put into it. However, I do have some suggestions for the game. The first suggestion would be a minor change to the bow. The piercing chance should be buffed, while the non- charged bow shot should be slightly weaker, to balance it. The second suggestion would be to have online multiplayer between friends on steam, game center, etc. The third suggestion would be to have fitness or strength increase a point every 200 zombies destroyed. The fourth would be to buff martial arts to deal slightly more knock-back and have more range. The fifth would be a new trait that resembles a careless, loyal and innocent character. The upsides would be something along the lines of having good attitude and loyalty. The downsides would be wits, strength, and fitness. This trait would either be similar to oblivious or it would replace it. This is all up to you, of course. I know this game doesn’t update anymore, but if you do see this, please don’t feel compelled to make these changes. These are just things that I feel would improve the game.

Apparently the game was 7$ a year ago according to another review which is a more reasonable price in my opinion.

My main gripe with the game is the tutorial system or lack thereof. When you start the game they put you into a tutorial which shows you the basics of moving, attacking, and looting I guess. But they don’t explain to you what I think is a majority of the game the item management and character optimizations. The tutorial doesn’t show you what different weapon types do, how they interact with certain stats, or even how the guns work. Often times a character would be low health while I had a healing supplies but I didn’t know how to use them. There is a lot if depth to how characters are defined stat and class wise but without an explanation I found it frustrating to die repeatedly because I couldn’t understand what was happening.

Also I have an issue with how the controls for moving are implemented. It might just be me but because you have an area that you slide ur finger around to move the character, I found myself having to repeatedly move my thumb back to neutral position because it would eventually run out of room on the screen. I like the other static joy stick style controls more because it makes me feel like I have more control.
