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!

It's a good game, but the micro transactions and ads are irritating. it's borderline unplayable unless you upgrade. even if you upgrade, it doesn't work if you're offline, and you have to restore your purchase every time you open it. even that doesn't always work. otherwise, it's a really interesting strategy game, with a lot of cool game modes and scenarios to check out.

I use to play this game when it was solely on PC, it's definitely came a LONG way and definitely a great game to pass the time. There hundreds of different scenarios, about 10 or so different pathogen types, a new Cure the World mode where instead of spreading a desiese, your curing it. this game has possibly thousands of hours of different types of gameplay. Great to pass the time. The In-App purchases are all very cheap and you can thoroughly enjoy the game without spending a single cent. 5/5

It's a good game, truly. But it gets difficult keeping track of what regions are infected, and how much etc (there is only a list, or you have to tap on each country individually, plus a bit of a red dot graphic but that doesn't tell too much). What I would find helpful, is a grid overlay functionality like for example in Tropico, with a simple color map and a scale showing infected regions. Maybe on a logarithmic scale even, since infection is exponential. Otherwise, great game!
