PC roguelike Death Road To Canada is coming to Nintendo Switch (and some other consoles) this spring, where you'll need to fight your way through waves of the undead as you attempt to survive on a long journey from the Florida coast to the cold embrace of Ontario.
You'll be unleashing, "hyper-violent combat with over-the-top, looted weaponry," as you make your way towards the Canadian border, with support for both single-player and local co-op. It'll be a tactical affair, especially in two-player where you'll use distractions to draw the attention of an area's newly generated zombs while the other searches for resources. Expect plenty of blood, guts and a splash of dark humour. Check out the original PC trailer below.
It's great to see Nintendo Switch once again included as a platform alongside other consoles, rather than being a late afterthought. Let us know what you you think of Death Road To Canada. And yes, we know it's pixel art. Embrace it!

Absolutely thrilled about this, been wanting to play it for bloody ages and now I have an excuse.
I have this on my phone , should be a ton better on a larger screen.
This is a really fun and inventive game. I also have it on my phone, and enjoyed it a lot. Can't help but feel it will be easier with the physical controls of the Switch - but the game is also designed to be slightly awkward to control.

Man, this looks awesome!!!! Just as I thought I was tired of the whole zombie shebang something else comes outs and blows my moustache off! It's a good problem to have.
Ukiyo Publishing, the publishers of Death Road to Canada, have this as an April release on their website.
Looks like good fun. Another quality indie game to look forward to.

For indie games like this, it's nothing unusual to see the Switch included alongside other consoles,it's been that way for a while. It would be more surprising if it was not included. With the success many indies have had on Switch, I'm sure most of them see it as the priority console rather than an afterthought.
@AlexOlney you should’ve started playing way before, I bought it on my phone day one and I’m still playing it, it’s a gem.
And the best part is that it doesn’t feel like a mobile game at all, and after almost two years it still receives huge, free updates.
Looks freaking A eh!
It’s a brilliant game on pc, especially in co-op. There are some fun Nintendo references hidden in there too!
Crap. I sunk way too much time into this on PC. Very, very good game. Despite the graphics, rogueness, and zombies (I know many of you are sick of those things), it's very addicting.
I've been holding off on this one because I wanted to play it local multiplayer. Now that it's coming to Switch, I'll definitely get it.
I'm amazed there's a game developer who even knows about Canada and the province of Ontario. Better yet, I'm surprised NintendoLife even knew that. I mean, we're all members of the Commonwealth but NintendoLife seems to just lump us all in with the traitors to the Crown south of us that I just went on to expect NintendoLife to never give their true cousins in the Great White North any acknowledgement of existence.
Never heard of it, but it looks hilarious! I may have to try it.
FINALLY!...I mean I already have it on PC, but still. lol
Excellent news! I've seen some videos of this and thought it looked perfect for the Switch.
This reminds me of Dead Rising a bit... will give it a go as I love those games
Cool game.
It sounds like a fun little game... but really, it looks like it could run on SNES. Not everything needs to be 1994 pixelart...
more of this roguelike crap...
