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!

This is so amazing! The music is awesome too! I really loved this game because it is easier to get victory(sometimes it is hard for saving the world). You can just buy the transmission, symptoms, and abilities. For the save the world I don't know I never get that but I will think this is amazing 🤩!!! I hope there is new update for this game:)

This game is basically a perfect balance of luck and strategy (in my experience) and I also like the atmosphere. The somewhat low quality background music and sound effects make it a lot more nerve-wracking and really amplifies your emotions when you win or lose. The premium version is only 79p when I got it. To be fair, I am 13 so I wouldn't say I'm very knowledgeable on money but that seems cheap. I do have to agree with the others -- the free version is almost impossible, and extremely slow.

I love this game, very strategic. I would love for the other games in the app to be accessible under normal conditions. However, this game robs you of a bacteria infection to achieve your goals. That being said -to the developers- *that blue bubble we're supposed to pop, doesn't allow the cure to slow progress properly. We don't get the points we need from the infected people that we deserve on making our strain harder to fight. Very ill structured if you ask me.
