What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Grinding play system is enjoyable(collecting settlement upgrades) but sometimes can feel a little slow, when you are waiting for new missions to complete.
Relaxing but also challenging (always played medium difficulty), it play more like a puzzle game than a full blown 4x strategy, with each level a different challenge around the same mechanic of dealing with time constraint, limited resources and zombie attacks, which is perfect for 20-60min play sessions
That said, the game is polished, the narrative beats are engaging enough to carry you through, and there’s plenty of replayability for those chasing high scores or alternate strategies.
The intuitive controls make it easy to dive into the action, and the vibrant graphics enhance the atmospheric tension of surviving a zombie-infested landscape.
Rebel Inc for example uses a lot of green in the game and has a fitting soundtrack to fit it's gameplay and where it's taking place, for Plague Inc it's the color red and the morbid theme of infecting and killing the world that fits it.
