Community Insight:
All was chill till it kept erasing all our progress anytime we restarted the game. Sorry but this is a very honest review. Fix it this is a very sad reason for this game to fail. Its perfect otherwise.
Ive tried restarting our device multiple times, and when that didnt work we even reinstalled. We just cant get UP2 to actually SAVE our completed mission stars. We get to restart every time we open the game again. That said, the game is fine. We just wish we didnt have to restart it constantly.
Theres no adds which we appreciate so much. It seems like every single game has adds now or they want you to pay for the add free version and Ive stopped playing them because of that. Its a very difficult game but a lot of fun. Ill end up playing it for hours without realizing it. Highly recommend downloading it.
It's a cool game and we like that there are alien world's besides earth. Big worlds do make it hard to click everything because it can be so small.
Reminds us of the pandemic we played as a kid.
We constantly crash when ever we play this game! Fix this please! But besides that, it's a good game.
We love this game! If you like a bit of a challenge and being an alien race we suggest you play this.
Stats aren't as detailed as Pandemic but still a great game.
This game is a lot like plague inc. Except the creator definitely has a better imagination. We feel like the upgrades and abilities are so much more interesting. Adding a story, giving you a perspective and motivation to go along with the goal of ending all humanity, makes it more engaging and sooo much more satisfying.
If we could give it more higher rating we would this is a must have.
This is pandemic 2 with many more features, a lot more hands-on gameplay and a lot more engaging. There actually feels like there is skill involved and not just luck and for once, we destroyed Madagascar before those idiots can shut down the ports. We would suggest a better tutorial and better description of how infective or destructive the disease is. All in all, it's a great game.
We love this game. Very addictive.
Please get this game, we can't even describe the pleasure you will receive from wiping out whole worlds with the diseases you created.. So so satisfying.
Solid game, doesnt require internet.
It's hard for new player to understand these affects. And the bubbles are too smallthey disappear too soon.
We liek dis gaem, gr8 m8, 8/8. Plus we're getin 2 sole Jems frum dis.
Great game .. Little confusing at first.. No crashes or bugs so far, so that's a plus. Would recommend to anyone looking for this type of game.
This game is a lot of fun to play. It is very addicting. We're playing this while sick which is kinda ironic haha.
Overall the game is lots of fun, with interesting abilities and one offs. Borders should close based on awareness, otherwise it's impossible to prevent their closure. Could also be more detailed on specific impact of abilities.
Do you ever just feel sick and tired of the same old games? The "do this repetitive objective and invite your friends on facebook to do the same" so-called fund gaming apps? Well, here is a came that will simply hook you for days. If you have the stamina for "Risk", the stomach for "Contagion", and consider yourself a bit of a misanthrope, try this game! Your goal: create the most infectious/ deadly pathogen so your alien race can utilize the energy of all the worlds' dead.
Good time passer. Can be frustrating.
Not a bad pandemic-style game, but it's a little frustrating that there's no way to infect a country once its borders are closed. After all, birds migrate all the time and should be able to spread the disease. Also, if a country is infected but not yet aware, it should have no reason to close its borders. Other than that, pretty entertaining.
You can see what place has built the most resistance or done the most research towards a cure or is most aware of the viruses existence, but you can't just go to it to do anything about it. You have to close the info screen, and with the game time on (since there is no pause except when in a menu) manually navigate the map looking for it. Also every country closes borders and ports based on infection, not based on awareness. Makes no sense. It comes down to luck, because even if you make your disease entirely unnoticeable it spreads randomly and if it doesn't infect every country before too many countries get a high infected population you become unable to win the game because of port closures. Makes no sense that your alien assistants can't infect more than one (the first) person per game. All of this needs to be fixed before it can be considered a 5 star game. 4 star is still worth playing though.
We're enjoying it so far. Wish there was more control over mutations though.
Could use improvement in its pace.
Good graphics, somewhat complex, but that makes it more fun in our opinion. Better than many similar games, and this one's free.
We played it for about an hour. It's fun for a bit to try and get the worst virus you can get. But once things get going it's a little slow. It would be nice to be able to click on the countries from the overview screen so you can do a quick nuke. But having to search for the country is a pain… Other then that, we'll try a few more games to see how it goes.
Fun although kind confusing need better help.
It has a few quirks. But otherwise it's entertaining. Wish they would give you more control of the pathogen.
We found this game pretty fun at first, but as we progressed it quickly lost that due to the odd inclusion of a game mechanic whereby you have to click a little pop up thing that randomly appears on the map and then disappears like 2 seconds later. This short timespan turns this game into a frustrating piece of crap. Playing on small maps, it's annoying, but fine we guess. However, on large maps… It's so stupid. Playing on Asia, you hear them pop up, but they disappear before you can even find them. And that ruins the game because you can't progress, because for some insane reason the virus won't move to a new area unless you click that little bubble in the 2 seconds if appears. If you miss it, you're screwed. Get rid of that feature and this would probably be a really fun game of trying to upgrade the virus in such a way to take over the whole continent. But with this feature, it's not worth playing at all.
This game is a great game, because it was soo hilarious, our "favorite part" was when the music stopped working and we started hallucinating that people were screaming. It was funn! Which we will be sending them a bug message because we truly enjoy this game it's soo pretty.
Considering we have played plague inc and bio inc if we're not mistaken, this game can be alongside with these "conquer the world" type of games. Top notch and has its own originality! Very interesting that you can directly attack with powers of quakes, thunderstorms and even destroy the continent itself! And earth isn't the only planet your attacking! So better prepare for some very different strategy.
This is by far the best plague game we have played personally; it takes into account many aspects of reality and adds an overlapping twist of otherworldly invaders. Highly suggest this game.
This game is defiantly a mind game considering we didn't beat it the first day we played it. Defiantly better than plague inc. As well so we rate this game 10/10 and would play again.
Every time we try to access the new feature of multiplayer we receive a message stating that the username we choose is taken. This situation happens no matter what unique username we could come up with. Also if you could make the bubbles last longer and make them bigger so you can see them then that would be great.
Like pandemic but with aliens. And "God" powers.
Addicting considering we have a bit of a sadistic side.
If you like puzzles and trying to figure out how to ferment an airborne virus then this is the game for you. With each level comes a new challenge. Its EXTREMELY difficult so dont think youre going to just two-click your way to the end.
But we don't get it. We keep losing and there isn't a tutorial. We're reinstalling just so we can read the instructions on how to do things on the game to win. We've tried 10 different times with zero luck everytime.
