Plague Inc. is a unique mix of high strategy and terrifyingly realistic simulation. Can you infect the world?
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.
In the past 12 hours i've played this game for 5. I've slept during the other 7, and the only reason i'm not playing now is breakfast :D
You control the 'evolution' of a pathogen. Before the game starts you choose which type of pathogen you want to use (bacteria, virus, fungus etc). Each type has slightly different properties, for example a virus mutates faster while a fungus spreads slower.
As your pathogens infects or kills people, you get DNA points. You can use these DNA points to upgrade your virus. Upgrades are divided into three categories: Transmission (helps spread your pathogen), Symptoms (the fun stuff, can increase infectiousness, severity and fatality), and Abilities (various upgrades to help your pathogen survive the environment and attempts at a cure). Each category has various upgrade paths, which have different but overlapping effects. There are also several special combos you can unlock for increased effectivity (the one comes to mind at the moment is the Oops combo: consisting of Sneezing and Diarrhea which increasing the severity of your pathogen).
Humans will not go down quietly of course. Depending on the severity of the symptoms and the fatality rate they will invest in research and take measures to block the spread of your pathogen. At some point however, as your pathogens causes chaos and destruction, governments will become less effective and research into a cure will eveutally come to a halt.
The game ends when there are no more infected people remaining. Either because they are all dead, or because your virus has been defeated.
On Android at least, you can play it for free. The full game unlocks free upgrades you can choose before the game starts, removes ads and adds the ability to accelerate time while you're waiting for your disease to infect the world. You can unlock new starting upgrades via micro-payments or just by completing games.
So far definitely worth the $1 i spend on it :D
