About this game

Can you infect the world? Plague Inc. is a unique mix of high strategy and terrifyingly realistic simulation.

Your pathogen has just infected 'Patient Zero'. Now you must bring about the end of human history by evolving a deadly, global Plague whilst adapting against everything humanity can do to defend itself.

Brilliantly executed with innovative gameplay and built from the ground up for touchscreen, Plague Inc. from developer Ndemic Creations evolves the strategy genre and pushes mobile gaming (and you) to new levels. It’s You vs. the world - only the strongest can survive!

Plague Inc. is a global hit with features in newspapers such as The Economist, New York Post, Boston Herald, The Guardian and London Metro!

The developer of Plague Inc. was invited to speak at the CDC in Atlanta about the disease models inside the game and partnered with the World Health Organisation during the covid pandemic to produce an expansion for the game: Plague Inc: The Cure.

◈◈◈

Features:
● Highly detailed, hyper-realistic world with advanced AI (Outbreak management)
● Comprehensive in-game help and tutorial system (I am Legendarily helpful)
● 12 different disease types with radically different strategies to master (12 Monkeys?)
● Full Save/Load functionality (28 Saves Later!)
● 50+ countries to infect, hundreds of traits to evolve and thousands of world events to adapt to (Pandemic evolved)
● Full game support for scoreboards and achievements
● Expansion updates add the mind controlling Neurax Worm, the zombie producing Necroa Virus, Speed Runs and real life Scenarios!
● Can you save the world? Take control and stop a deadly global plague in our biggest expansion yet!
● Take on Daily Diseases, earn powerful upgrades and compete against the world in Outbreak Mode!

Localised in English, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, French, Japanese, Korean and Russian.

P.S. Give yourself a pat on the back if you got all the themed literature references!

this game is AMAZING! Time flies when you play it, no ads AT ALL for me, it does take a while to actually unlock new plague types (like unlocking Virus took me a couple years because I never changed my strategy) but you can also buy them for pretty cheap if you want. And it's offline too! You have the option to buy stuff too like extra scenarios, special plague types, Outbreaks etc (you get 1 free outbreak daily and it resets at midnight tho). I 100% recommend this game to everyone!

With Ndemic games like these, your genuinely relying on luck. For example the speed of the cure isn't really effected by any abilities, heat resistance doesn't actually have to do much of a difference to Africa. It's just a game of not trial-and-error, but trying the same thing over and over again until you get lucky. A really creative feeling to the game, my favourite scenario is spreading fake news. I know you want variety in a game, but the repetition can be crazy.

Excellent! What more can be said? A great, simplified, strategy game. There's no building a base up bit by bit to level 10 before anything decent happens. This is strategy from the word go. It has a Main Mode and a Cure Mode. I would Definitely recommend buying the expansion pack for endless options and scenarios, which includes Vampire, Zombie and Planet of the Apes scenarios, plus you can create your own scenarios for other users to play. Also check out the authors other game Rebel Inc.

What’s new

From the infinite depths of space comes an utterly alien plague type. Radically new gameplay, mysterious victory conditions, interstellar genes, haunting music and much more…

Xeno-form the Planet! Transform an entire planet into crystal
Extinction Event: Humans are utterly insignificant, but they can still disrupt you if left alone with defensive satellites, cloud seeding and more. Use meteors to destroy them first
