Forums - Gaming - Anyone ever played Plague Inc.? It's a very good game for $0.99 (iOS, Android)

This sounds really cool, I'm gonna check it out.



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

I've beat it on hard with everything. Fun game. Start in Russia.

India is better. More of the world (as well as more populace areas) has a 'warm' climate so its best to get the warm for free and only have to buy cold later on as you start to spread into lower populations in the colder areas.


My strategy doesn't usually need any heat advancements. You practically need cold though if you want to kill greenland.


I'm with you.  After seeing the recommendations to use countries like India and experimenting quite a bit myself with about 20 different starting locations, I've settled on Russia as an ideal starting location.

The warm countries in the game are generally poor, and ridiculously easy to infect.  The tough ones are Greenland and Iceland.  By starting in Russia, you have a plague equipped to take them down from the start because it comes pre-built for the cold.  You also have the proximity to infect them early, with a seaport that connects frequently to those two countries.

That makes sense. I kept starting in South Africa but found Greenland survived no matter how I spread the virus. Will try Russia next.

I've seen it on the App Store. I was hesitant to buy it at first but I might go for it later on.

Hah! 

What? I don't get it...

It's free for Android!

Now I have to make a decision... iPad or Phone?

Can't you get it for both and try it out to see which one you prefer. The download should stay in your account right?

Haven't played it but after reading this, I will download it. :) I liked similar games on C64 ages ago.

Also, there should be more threads about android games. There are so freaking many turds on play store that it would be really nice to know which games might actually be good.



I got it and it's awesome, especially when you consider the cost..

I was trying to make a decision because it's free on Android and not free on iOS. I have an Android phone and an iPad.



Find Pandemic 2 on the PC. It's the real thing. Great game.



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.
