### 4/5 — me playing this game is good

*2026-08-23, version 1.25.2*

Me first time getting this and this is gonna be boring me when I saw the modifiers there's a vampire mod

### 2/5 — My account??

*2026-08-19, version 1.25.2*

Love this game, I’ve been playing since 2017. Spent money on all the packs. Full game unlocked. Came back for 2026 update and now it’s expecting me to pay again? I’ve supported this game for so long, crazy all my outbreak upgrades, all previously unlocked scenarios are now locked behind a pay wall I already bought. Wanna give it 5 stars but jeez

### 4/5 — It's fine, for a mobile game

*2026-08-13, version 1.25.2*

As nicely as it's often reviewed, the game has accrued a few problems over the years, namely its blatant unoriginality with new plagues. Well, that's my main problem with it; the game irks everyone who is concerned in a different way. The game's fun, damn replayable, accessible, and moderately realistic. It's not like it's a bad thing with good aspects - quite the opposite, actually. Ultimately, this failure is in my opinion inevitable, a result of Ndemic Creations being a one-hit wonder studio, which is what happens when someone has a lukewarm idea and the money to make it happen. No harm done, but still. Sorry if the flow here was a bit clunky, I tend to do that when I am passionate about what I'm writing.

### 5/5 — Made great

*2026-08-13, version 1.25.2*

Interesting

### 4/5 — Getting confusing

*2026-08-12, version 1.25.2*

Good game fun to play, but Even after buying the app you have the option to buy so many things it’s getting confusing. Can’t you just make a package with some sort of discount that group everything. I think it will help you guys to even sell more. Keep up the good work!

### 4/5 — 60 fps update for newer devices plz :)

*2026-08-11, version 1.25.2*

Everything is good just wish was smoother especially on 120hz devices

### 3/5 — It’s good but…

*2026-08-10, version 1.25.0*

You have to pay for it and then you have to pay and extra 20 bucks just to get all the dlcs and you have a cool scenario idea? Too bad you have to pay another 5 bucks. the game is fun but has way too many pay walls

### 1/5 — this game is trash

*2026-08-13, version 1.25.2*

they don't give you enough points to ever win. if play anything other than easy mode you will always lose. you have to play normal mode or higher to unlock things so good luck. wish i had my money back

### 1/5 — Dunno if its my phone

*2026-08-09, version 1.25.0*

It just doesnt work, it puts me on the home page but then my screen stops working and i cant click anything

### 1/5 — Why

*2026-08-08, version 1.25.0*

Why are you doing this to me I BOUGHT YOU PURCHASES AND NOW I CANNOT ACCESS ANYTHING THERE ARE NO BUTTONS AND YOU ARE CRASHING MY DEVICE

### 1/5 — NO HELP FOR FAILED APP

*2026-08-04, version 1.24.4*

For some reason I’m unable to access all the other saved customized scenarios AND THERE IS NO APP SUPPORT AVAILABLE!!!

### 1/5 — Heavily Over Charged On Purchase

*2026-08-01, version 1.24.4*

Don’t make any in app purchases I purchased all the 7 plague types at once which states clearly is a $2.99 purchase, I’d expect a little tax of course but the purchase charged me almost SEVEN dollars!!! They just robbed me a little…

### 1/5 — bad

*2026-07-31, version 1.24.4*

nano-virus casual is impossible

### 1/5 — Mala

*2026-07-27, version 1.24.4*

No lo compren, es muy aburrido, monótono y sinceramente a pesar de que está 0.99 fue la peor compra de mi vida

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-07-25, version 1.24.4*

Doesn’t even load lol

### 1/5 — Paid for ratings and reviews?

*2026-07-23, version 1.24.4*

I will take a note that any review of more than one star is a paid review. — What used to be a wonderful game is now filled with in game bots that cheat when the game is loosing. — The developer of this game really need to stop with making this game literally impossible, even on casual difficulty, the only way any player could actually win a level of scenario is by using the cheats. — “For obvious reason you will not be given a score” — “Think what would happen in real life” the answer is simple, you would delete a stupid cheating game.
