Glitchy. You spend however much time developing a disease and "defeating the world" and then you don't progress and get any of the rewards. It glitches out and says people survived, even if you watched the count go to zero. Cool concept, but this app is a complete waste of time. ETA: I didn't say difficult. I said glitchy. I did not say "this game sucks because it is too hard." It doesn't work. Awful game.
★★★★ steve 121 5/5/2026 v1.24.3
once u get to fungus its practically impossible to win and get past it it wants u to pay for ptw features to actually win. very slow progression to get points to lvl up ur disease then it completely stops so ur limited on wat to actually get
★★★★ Nicholas McDade 5/4/2026 v1.24.3
Not as good as it use to be. The rate in which you earn DNA has got worse against the cure rate. The game is now mainly focused on getting you to purchase the upgrades, specifically the one that helps you earn DNA faster. You infect the whole world and cause deaths by the hundreds of thousands a day, yet the DNA rate may not give you any for 5 to 10 days straight. The game is now a money grab.
★★★★ Lyle Najita 5/3/2026 v1.24.3
Love the game, it was working fine. The latest update crashes on opening. Wish I could remove the latest update and go back to the last version I had. I actually bought this game but I guess that wasn't enough. I'm done throwing money at these people. not buying anything from them ever again. I recommend you stay away unless you have money to burn
★★★★ None Yuh 5/2/2026 v1.24.3
No reason for the game to be so hard This game absolutely SUCKS on mobile. You can tell they rushed this, the map is stretched, the UI sucks and minimalistic, the UI barely fits on the screen. It looks like a cheap knock off than the actual game. The PC version has superior graphics and UI
★★★★★ Alex 5/5/2026 v1.23.1
took a long time im just impatient for it good game tho ads can be less intrusive but its a free game to be expected
★★★★★ Christian Losada 5/3/2026 v1.23.1
game is mid. the ads are annoying and when i was gonna win i lost because i killed every host but some healthy people survived even tho i infected the whole world and everyone died
