Plague Inc: The Cure

Among the various simulations in recent years, games dedicated to the spread of epidemics, viruses and other diseases attract special attention. One of the best representatives of the genre is Plague Inc: The Cure. It is a fascinating game that allows not only to spread deadly diseases all over the world, but also to fight against this threat.

Priorities shifting

Plague Inc: The Cure is a big addition to the cult game from British studio Ndemic Creations, that significantly expands the possibilities of the original project. The product of the British studio was released in January 2021. The same company is engaged in its promotion and sale.

Originally Plague Inc was a modest indie game about the possibility of spreading deadly diseases around the world. It originally looked a bit like Pandemic. Various diseases and their mutations led to very different, and sometimes very unexpected results. The cause of the panic could be a mysterious virus that turns the inhabitants of the planet into veritable zombies. Or an infection that kills the host in a few minutes. Depending on the initial conditions and the development of the scenario, it was possible to combine types of infections. This increased the replayability and attracted the attention of new users.

As a result, the project became extremely popular on the Web and quickly acquired an army of many millions of fans. The creators decided to develop the idea. They teamed up with various international structures, including the World Health Organization and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness. And they gave out a masterpiece sequel to their hit.

It's about time to save the planet

From the original expansion Plague Inc: The Cure is different primarily by a radical change in the balance of emphasis. Now it is a game about saving humanity, not its destruction. The users do not need to experiment with different types of viruses and look for new ways to kill millions. On the contrary, they are invited to confront the deadly threat. And find a way to stop it.

Steps to Defeat the Virus

The hunt for the disease involves four components:

• Calculating the source of the contagion
• Controlling uncontrolled outbreaks
• Economic measures
• Developing an effective vaccine

At each stage, the disease is capable of changing and mutating. Depending on the conditions, the goals and objectives necessary to win become different. In some cases, failure is inevitable without identifying patient zero. And sometimes it is enough to develop and distribute an effective vaccine around the world.

Advantages and disadvantages

The game captivates users and makes them look for a solution to a problem for many hours. Its key advantages are:

• Unusual plot
• A huge number of available scenarios
• The variability and thoughtfulness of the development of events

From shortcomings sometimes users name simple visual design and weak soundtrack. However, such shortcomings are completely overshadowed by the game's pluses.
