[…] It’s been over two years since I tackled Plague Inc. on iPhone. You’ll want to read that review to get my thoughts on the gameplay of Plague Inc, since I won’t be discussing it much in this review. Cliff notes: I quite liked it. Not only was it a fast-paced, fun little simulator, but the look my family had when I would excitedly declare “HOORAH! I JUST KILLED ALL OF HUMANITY!” was priceless. A bit of quiet terror mixed with cautious horror. To compound it, I would triumphantly pump my fist and then make some kind of statement like “I can’t wait to be President someday!” But, I have to admit that while making my parents contemplate whether that one night 26 years ago when their condom failed might someday bring about the end of the world is pretty enjoyable, Plague Inc. didn’t leave me a lasting impression on me. It’s not a bad game at all. It’s just so sterile in its presentation and minimalistic in its play mechanics that it didn’t lend itself to “owning” me, like Clicker Heroes or even OMG Zombies did.

In reply to Rage Fury. I saw that. It's an amazing accomplishment for a small time game developer. Who knows, maybe Ian Stocker, developer of Escape Goat, will be tapped to be the new Secretary of Agriculture.

In reply to Ben. Pretty sure the Plague Inc Dev said Pandemic inspired his game. What is cool though is he actually met with the CDC and we may see some content developed as a result.

There is a online flash game series called Pandemic. This game reminds me of that. Does Madagascar close its ports right away at the beginning of the game?

In reply to Indie Gamer Chick. Gaming leads to surreal conversations. Just wanted to put that out there.

In reply to Nicole. At first, I had problems getting to Greenland. That's why I never "beef up" the plague and any free-mutations I get, I sell, besides coughing and sneezing, which spread it good without killing anyone or getting the cure sped up. I found 2x cold resistance + full water carrier worked best for Greenland, which can only be accessed by ships. Once every person is sick, you can sell all the transmission mutations for 2 DNA each and spend them all on lethal mutations. Pulmonary Fibrosis, Organ Failure, Coma. Watch the body count go from 0 to billions in just a few seconds, and put all points you get (and you get them fast after that) on other lethal agents.

In reply to Indie Gamer Chick. It never seems to get there is my problem.

In reply to Nicole. For Greenland you just need level-2 cold resistance, and for Canada you need level-2 drug resistance. Easy peasy.
