Plague Inc.
Business Model: free-to-play
- Developer: Ndemic Creations
- Publisher: Miniclip
- Release date: October 2012
Another mobile strategy that boasts a highly unusual theme is Plague Inc. The game tells of a deadly epidemics decimating humanity and puts us... in control of the disease, with the task of killing as many people as possible.
The game is quite easy at the beginning, but the further you get, the more resistance you encounter. We have to respond to the efforts of governments by introducing mutations and trying to stay one step ahead of them.
The gameplay is simple to master, but offers plenty of depth. We can use bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, prions, nano-viruses and biological weapons. Each of these develops in a different way, and external conditions also influence them. This keeps the game from getting boring too soon. All of this adds up to a real gem of a game, gripping the attention for long.
XCOM: Enemy Within
Business Model: premium
- Producer: Firaxis / Virtuous
- Publisher: 2K Games
- Release date: November 2014
XCOM is classic PC franchise. On Android, however, only one title is available – XCOM: Enemy Within. PC gamers know this games as an expansion to XCOM: Enemy Unknown. In the mobile market, however, it is a stand-alone game that combines the two.
The mobile version is slightly truncated compared to PC versions, but the differences are not dramatic. The graphics turn out a little simpler, and the maps, smaller. Beyond that, however, it's exactly the same game. We get a powerful strategy, in which we lead an organization designed to repel an alien invasion of Earth. We need to manage the team, recruit people, raise funds and conduct technological research. Most of the time, however, we direct a small group of agents during turn-based missions.
The title is substantial, tactically elaborate and insanely smooth. It's easy to spend at least a few nights trying to stop the aliens. When it comes to this kind of productions on the mobile market, you won't find anything better.
