In 2012, Ndemic Creations released another strategy game for smartphones, Plague Inc., which turned out to be a complete success one year later with over 21 million downloads worldwide and a 5th place among the most frequently purchased applications in the App Store. Due to the current Corona pandemic, the mobile game is currently gaining attention again, to which the Chinese government also contributes. This has simply banned Plague Inc.
In Plague Inc. you create and control your own self-created disease by first giving it a name and then choosing the country for the outbreak of the disease. In the further course upgrades are possible in different areas, such as "symptoms" or "skills", which makes the disease more contagious and deadly. The goal of the strategy game is to eliminate the majority, preferably even the entire human race, before an effective cure for your disease is found.
Since the game deals with a very complex topic with a outbreak of a disease, the target group of Plague Inc. goes very far. From the teenager who wants to conquer the world once, to the father who likes to spend his free time with strategic games: With Plague Inc. everyone can prove his tactical skills. Not least because of this extended target group, the strategy game has reached global game trends.
The mobile game is not suitable for players who absolutely want to compete against other users in multiplayer, as this is a single player.
Nevertheless, online lovers usually also enjoy Plague Inc.
In addition to the "disease game", developer Ndemic Creations has also landed a hit in the strategy genre with "Rebels Inc." in the past. The strategic simulation game is strongly inspired by Plague Inc., with the user fighting a dangerous uprising and gradually stabilizing and expanding his regions over time.
