The starting plague, Bacteria, is versatile and capable of growing a cell wall to circumvent all temperature extremes.

follow something along these lines, but there's a huge amount of replay value in the different types of plague unlocked through successful games. As the last few million humans begin dying off, living in holes with the cure's progress forever stalled, the game leaves you in silence to watch the Earth's population tick down to zero. Every country in anarchy means less money and time devoted to a cure, and it's a delight watching Europe topple piece by piece and cripple worldwide research speed. Governments instantly begin throwing maximum resources at the problem, but far too late, and before long several of them have fallen. I find going up to total organ failure out of nowhere handles the job nicely.

Comas, paralysis, skin lesions or necrosis, the world is at your mercy - but ready to fight back.Ĭountries will begin researching a cure, the response dictated by the severity of your disease, and take steps to limit the spread - so when you hit, hit hard. This is where you can make everyone in the world slowly turn insane or simply start pooing their guts out. Symptoms can mutate without any input from you and often have to be devolved (an increasingly expensive pursuit), but are the fun and messy end of Plague Inc. you'll be wanting to reach 100% worldwide infection before making a move - because as soon as you start to introduce symptoms, even innocuous ones like coughing, people notice they're infected. Beating the Spanish Flu doesn't mean anything in the long run though you've got to kill everyone. lets you name the disease, which is especially nice when its milestones crop up along the way.

Together with the air and sea traffic moving back and forth, much of it now red with infection, this is an oddly hypnotic effect and one made all the more spooky by the random audio clip of a little girl singing 'ashes to ashes, we all fall down.' On the plus side, if the next step works, there'll be no little girls left to sing. The plague's spread is represented by red dots in each country and red lines showing infected travel routes, which start sparse and build up to an overwhelming block of colour. Before humanity can be eradicated, which is the really fun part, you've got to make sure you're going to get all of the buggers - anyone left alive means failure. Each alteration made to the plague affects where it's spreading and how fast, with poppable icons indicating a new country's infection. Your role at this point is that of observer and nudger-in-chief. Starting in Afghanistan, for example, a plague that transmits through blood and livestock will spread fast.

How fast it spreads depends on how many ways it can be transmitted and how well you suit it to its current environments, so the early-game upgrade tree concentrates on vectors like insects and birds, or blood transmission, as well as surviving extreme environments. presents you with a simplified world map and the choice of where your baby infection takes its first steps. The only obstacles are medical science, hand-washing, and occasionally air filters.

thus offers the opportunity to save the planet by eradicating our species from existence, giving you control over the evolutions and mutations of various infectious diseases - the means to spread, and then the tools to finish the job.

The Earth's only real problem, it has often been observed, is humanity.
