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!

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!

money grab. I bought the expansion pack and all the upgrades after playing every scenario using game play throughs. No matter what strategy I used the majority of the scenarios still don't give you the chance to defeat it. The game is rigged to get you to buy the upgrades then still doesn't deliver. Don't waste your time and money. The game's not worth it. Edit: devs have been told by many players to fix this problem. they refuse to. DO NOT INSTALL THIS GAME. not worth it.

Fun, simple, and gameplay options range from easy to extremely difficult for whatever you're in the mood for. The base version is barely playable, though. the ads that run frequently forcibly shunt you to a new browser window, which is incredibly disruptive, and a significant number of core features are locked for the free version. These issues are resolved by purchasing the full version, and the price for that is reasonable. I found the upgrade well worth the cost.

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.
