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!

Game is fun for killing time but this tuning cheats you like crazy! Several times I've had the level beat and it kicks you out at the very end, saying you lost when there's no possible way. It's very unpredictable algorithm to begin with but after spending 30+minutes on one level for it to do that is SO incredibly frustrating. Definitely needs work, tweaking... You've been forewarned lol.

It's a nicely formatted port, and the banner ad at the bottom is tolerable. But for some reason this app keeps crashing, closing itself and forgetting my current save game (you only get 1 save file) and the only option for saving manually is "save & quit'. There is no auto-save feature, so finishing a game will test your patience in a bad way. Not sure if this is from an attempted "video ad interruption" that's not programmed right, or if the game just doesn't like my old potato of a phone.

Its cool. Has good gameplay although I played this game years ago and you could do more things. Now almost every single aspect of the game is locked. Behind a pay wall. I used to be able to play scenarios and fast forward but now it's locked. Although a community ran scenario creator could be the reason. Could you make a purchase where it's just the other stuff.

What’s new

The Greenland International update
We live in exciting times - Greenland has just built a new International Airport and we released our latest game After Inc. which looks at what happens after Plague Inc.
To celebrate - get stuck into the new, free Greenland International scenario which sees Greenland finally open up to the world, with predictable consequences...
