The Plague Inc. is one of the most realistic simulators we've seen in the last decade. And it is now when it has released an expansion (free until COVID-19 disappears, as announced by its developer) called The Cure and that puts us on the opposite side of its reason for being: the cure and elimination of a virus that has generated a pandemic.
If The Plague Inc. was already a more than interesting game, with this new expansion puts us before the same situation that all the governments of this planet are facing: how to eradicate a pandemic that is changing our way of life. An update that comes at the best of times (and yes, just when a 90% effective vaccine has been announced). Go for it.
Searching for the cure for the planet
In fact The Plague Inc. increased in players exorbitantly when in March of this year COVID-19 began to spread. So now has been the best time to launch an expansion that leads us to manage several teams and responses to limit the expansion of a virus of the many that are in this game.
It should be noted that this expansion is for The Plague Inc., so you must download the game for free to be able to play that expansion that the developer has provided totally free until COVID-19 does not disappear. That is, we are going to be able to play without limits while the 'bug' is loose and roaming around our beloved planet.
Una great way to advertise a simulator of pandemics in which we have an entire map with its different countries and how they are suffering the fatal blow of the expansion of a wide variety of viruses that it has; and that has been on our phones for more than 7 years.
The Plague Inc. the Cure and play the role of the good
While in the original version of the game we have to take care of developing a virus that is capable of spreading as quickly as possible across the planet to end the greatest number of human lives, in this expansion we put aside that morbid aspect to move on to that of the toilets, research teams, and those charged with taking action to limit the pathways by which a virus spreads.
We can tell you that this simulator is very real and the counter of the number of deaths will go up if we are not able to find the appropriate measures to limit its expansion. An example is the mandate of the obligation to use hydroalcoholic gel or the closure of borders so that no one can leave or enter a region of high danger due to its viral load.
Thus we will have a great variety of actions defined in a skill tree that we will develop according to the action of the virus. If the original already has all kinds of viruses, here we have to be attentive to their symptoms to prevent the routes by which it can spread more quickly.
Find patient zero
Measures such as investigating a vaccine, find out who is patient zero (the first who received the virus) or contact tracking to be able to close regions if someone has been found infected. The truth is that it is very real and it is a game that quickly engages with those news that arrive every second or as the countries through which the pandemic is passing are turning red.
Visually follow the same as we know from the original and it takes us to another series of skills and aspects to be the "good guys" in the movie. A more than interesting game and that we encourage you to try now.
The Cure at Plague Inc is an approach to the tension that is lived in the world from the magnifying glass of the researcher, that government that has to decide to limit the freedoms of the people or that field agent that has to trace the contacts that an infected person made.
Editor's opinion
It cannot be more real and you have it for free until COVID-19 disappears from the planet.
