Apocalypse Inc. for Negative User Reviews
✓ Plain BadExtremely unrefined for the 2 dollar price tag attached, though choosing different storylines seems cool and is a good idea, whoever wrote the events clearly doesn’t speak English well enough to write a comprehensive “story.” The game has no other time options so your stuck playing the game years at a time which makes each game go by extremely fast. Though you have different options of storylines you don’t see any real change in any mechanics. You push a button, people die, you win, repeat. I assume this game was made in an attempt to cash in on people’s love of Plague Inc. a far superior game, people enjoy that game because there’s different strategies, timelines, and storylines. You did none of what makes plague inc. so good. 1/5 I don’t recommend you spend your money on this, go buy plague inc..Version: 1.3.8
✓ Just a mazeAll you do is blindly find a predetermined path to the scenarios end. Your choices have no impact other than being correct or not..Version: 1.4.3
✓ What a waste and a con!Don’t bothered wasting your money.Version: 1.4.3
✓ Not worth money or timeEach chapter is the same, even when it gets to medieval era, they can’t be bothered to remove the satellites from the world. Rubbish don’t waste your money.Version: 1.4.3
✓ Don’t waste your moneyThe app contains poorly written english, some of the text doesn’t even make sense. The storylines are unimaginative. It’s basically like plague inc, but nowhere near as good..Version: 1.4.3
✓ THIS IS THE WORST GAME EVERTHIS GAME IS HARD AND I STILL CANT GET TO THE NEXT LEVEL HOW STUPID IS THIS?!?!.Version: 1.4.3
✓ Do not download this gameThis game is bad 👎 When you click on what you want to do you have to do 💯clicks or more 200 what’s ever it’s just that that is what makes this rating so bad it might just be because of my iPad but I don’t agree 🤨 I say you can buy it make make sure it works on those clicks it annoying and I mean very 🙁.Version: 1.4.3
✓ MehNot what I expected, very basic.Version: 1.4.3
✓ Good but not greatDon’t get me wrong, thus game is loads of fun. It is amazing to think of all the ways humanity will eventually be eliminated. However, I was looking forward to more of a play style like Plague inc. I feel like there is no challenge nor variety. Sure there are tons of paths to go but there is no varying strategy for each one. It is also fairly easy to win. Could use some changes, but fun overall..Version: 1.3.5
✓ Patiently WaitingInteresting game. I’ll wait to see what updates may come and how the game progresses. Not on the top of my games, though. Needs some work, especially when it comes to the choices in scenarios and how quickly the chain ends.Version: 1.3.8
✓ Not worth the moneyIf this had been a free game it would have filled a couple of hours and been mildly amusing unfortunately it’s a paid game and it has no longevity. Once you know each scenario and which route to take it’s easy to win and move on. Graphics are ok but overall it’s only. 2 star game..Version: 1.4.3
✓ HardWay to hard and not enough options Like the concept, just need more work.Version: 1.4.2
✓ Fantastic story line, but not a gameThe stories and scenarios are very well thought out and interesting to read. But this app is more like a click through reading book than a game. There is little to no strategy and you just click through the story line as more people die... it’s like an active book read.Version: 1.3.9
✓ Wish I Could Rate Higher but Too Many Issues and ShortcomingsThe game has potential but unlike Plague Inc. you feel burnt out by the 4th level. Monsters, Aliens, Disease, Zombies are locked way to deep into the game and it just doesn’t feel rewarding or worth the time to unlock them. The “branching path” system…is a JOKE. You will end up in situations that will automatically end the branch and all options to where you cannot do ANYTHING at all and will automatically lose. Also unlike Plague Inc. there’s barley any relevant news in the game to the chaos that’s happening nor is there real indicator of how well you’re doing besides some countries turning red and a population meter. Gameplay…there’s really nothing besides the Branching Path system I mentioned earlier. You can’t view countries, progress, make your own disaster or really anything to keep you invested. Besides collecting Sins to unlock more paths there really isn’t enough to really say anything. Overall Apocalypse Inc despite being a good attempt and concept just fails to capture what makes Plague Inc. fun and doesn’t innovate anything into the “Destroy the World” formula. The game needs to be free to play and it’s just not worth the money..Version: 1.4.3
✓ I thought this would be like plague Inc.I bought this because it looked like plagued inc. to an extent it is but honestly it’s not really like it..seems like a rip off like each scenario is the same just with different “Storylines” and the storylines are like 3 sentences extremely vague and reused it’s extremely boring to start most of the game your just waiting to get points and I beat the game in 2hrs which would be fine...if it was actually fun. So long story short I wouldn’t buy this but if you like plague Inc. and really needed to kill time then go for it but honestly I wouldn’t play it if it was free..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Good game but much too shortThat’s about it..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Far from plague inc -For 3$ it has to be a good game. Story is way too fast. Too much storyline to mix together. Alien, asteroids, war. It took me 2 tries to unlock level one. 3$ doesn’t worth it..Version: 1.3.8
✓ It’s okIt’s an ok enough game can’t really justify paying for it though considering how basic it is. It’s very barebones and not a lot too it. But it’s a good time sink if your waiting for something or if your just bored though I’d recommend plague inc or rebel inc..Version: 1.1.3
✓ Too simpleAll you do is sit there and wait for sins to be collected. There is no interactivity at all. World events don’t have any actual effects. The war scenario seems unbeatable. I’ve tried every storyline possible and not everyone dies. After you finish the stories there’s nothing you can do to kill the remaining people and slowing down the cures is useless. Highly disappointed in what I thought would be a similar, highly interactive game like Plague Inc.Version: 1.4.2
✓ Needs more depthAfter the first couple of scenarios it gets bland. Wish there was scope to unlock items/boosts/special abilities etc When sabotaging the defence, the story line keeps breaking and stopping me from being able to complete scenarios. Overall not bad but either make it free with a few ads or update some new features into it, to make it worth the cost.Version: 1.4.3
✓ Concept is good but...It has a good concept, but value is not enough for the price. It takes less than 1 hour to see every four seniors. Expecting to see more in the future..Version: 1.3.9
✓ Doesn’t workJust bought the game, and so far comes up with black screen with music in background but shows nothing. Not happy and if it doesn’t work the next few tries I will be demanding a refund.Version: 1.3.9
✓ BlandReally boring.Version: 1.3.9
✓ Stick to Plague IncLots of areas of improvements here such as: - more context around rescue - more interaction than just tapping to collect sins - having apocalypses influence each other - fix the buggy rescue circle.Version: 1.1.3
✓ Somewhat disappointingAt face value; the game gives you extreme plague inc vibes. You collect bubbles on the planet and then invest them in different categories just like plague inc and try to destroy the world before humanity saves itself. The similarities completely end here. Don’t get me wrong, this game is a good game to just turn your brain off to and play around with various scenarios of how an apocalypse would impact the world… except you could hardly call it a game. The core mechanic of the game is *selecting* what you want to happen for the apocalypse, which has pre-determined effects. What I mean by this is if you go down one path, it is literally exactly the same every time you go down it… 5 million people die for example, but people do not continue to suffer from the effects of the disaster. Furthermore, this means you can spend 10-15 minutes in a game and find out the path you went down doesn’t kill 100% of the people needed to win, meaning you *have* to restart and do something else, because once you reach the end of the path, there is no way to go back and there is nothing to do but wait for humanity to save itself. However I must admit I have played this more than I thought I would, which still isn’t a lot mind you but I have. Don’t look at this as a game, look at it as just looking at interesting and creative scenarios someone made for an apocalypse that *may* or may not kill everyone. There is realistically zero gameplay..Version: 1.4.3
✓ Very boring and a complete waste of moneyNo point in playing more than once, not worth getting for free let alone £1.99. Every round is exactly the same except a different description on the tree. There’s nothing to do in the game except choose a meaningless apocalypse scenario, and watch a number go down and the world turn red..Version: 1.3.8
✓ Don’t buy itPointless. Not a strategy game. Incomprehensible nonsense. A bunch of reviews appearing with a short period of time are suspiciously similar. Not worth downloading even if free.Version: 1.3.8
✓ Not worth the priceThe game didn't have enough in it to be worth the price they're pricing it at. You only have 4 modes, and you can finish all of them in under 30 minutes. Once you finish, you can however go back to play them with different outcomes, but its not that fun simulation game you'd expect. I’d suggest getting plague inc if you want a more experienced game style. Its also cheaper..Version: 1.3.9
✓ Crap not worth £1.99 cookie clicker reskinTitle^.Version: 1.3.8
✓ Not much substanceHumanity just keels over too easily, there’s no real explanation of how the various upgrades interact (if they even do at all), and the description of the events is so dry. Mostly just plays like a sped up idle clicker. Preachy too. Plus the science is so weak. Plague inc had interesting tidbits of real virology, and kept things believable and engaging even when it invented something that didn’t exist. This kinda just makes up whatever it likes, and the end result reads like bad movie science.Version: 1.3.6
✓ Ads are misleadingReally no reason to buy this game. The ads will have you believe there will be some greater depth of visuals but it’s beyond boring. In the relatively extensive amount of time I’ve been playing this it just occurred to me that I’m literally just spinning the globe around and there are no “exciting” events happening at all. Game looks good though, just wish the ads were a little more honest about the true content..Version: 1.4.3
✓ I don’t know if this is a bug but...I started playing as it seemed interesting, but the concept quickly seemed to fall apart. If you chose the wrong path do you just fail? I got enough sins to get the path I wanted complete on all three sections, however as they have a set kill count instead of over time I just got stuck and could do nothing but wait to lose..Version: 1.4.3
✓ OverratedThe game is very bland and shallow, there is no context in how humanity saves itself they just do. I find it ridiculous how you can go down several paths to destroy humanity, you should only be able to focus on one humanity destroying path. Game needs a lot of work if it wants to be considered a good game..Version: 1.3.7
✓ Not impressedThought I’d give this a try and can’t say that I’m in love with this game. Having played Plague Inc. I was hoping that this would be similar, if not better, but felt underwhelmed by the pacing and storytelling. A few decisions and it just becomes predictable, also the part where you create enough chaos and it brings up a prompt about Atheists praying to save their souls is a bit odd considering this is the only group of ppl mentioned and it does nothing to effect gameplay. If I could go back I likely wouldn’t repurchase..Version: 1.4.3
✓ Has promise, but needs somethingHas the bones of a fun game. Excellent graphics, but the choices are too narrow - only one path or another. Be great to be able to choose what to combine - bit of magic & space aliens for example, or natural disaster and disease. Spinning the earth to collect sins faster gets a bit old quickly. Some sins don’t make sense for era, eg cigarettes in the 1300s. Player needs more control over situation- see civilization for example of how much control / options players have.Version: 1.4.3
✓ Good marketing, poor productA poorly written build your own story with about 45 minutes of playable value..Version: 1.3.9
✓ BoringReally not as in-depth as this previous developer’s games..Version: 1.4.3
✓ Short/simple/limitedIt’s very short and simple. It doesn’t cost much but won’t entertain for long. Story lines are interesting but game play doesn’t add anything to push the story along to make it a challenge..Version: 1.3.0
✓ Not even worth $2There is a lot wrong with this game, if you can even call it a game. The only “gameplay” involved is collecting sins and choosing different story paths. The game is also rigged in the fact that you literally can’t even win scenarios if you pick certain story lines. The “cure” humanity tries to finish is always the same, regardless of the scenario you are playing. Overall just a poorly designed, lazy cash grab of a game. Avoid at all costs..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Prevented me from ever buying mobile games againDo not spend the $2.17 after tax on this game. I was expecting a better version of plague inc with more plans for devastation and different a much bigger broad on routes. First off the 3D view of rotating earth is nice but why are you gathering sins and there’s a limit to those sins you gather. You have to spend them fast and spin the earth around to collect the sims faster just to hit the cap at 16. You can’t take the time to see the earth coming to an end because you are so focused on watching out for the sins that pop up. All to just hurry and pick the next drastically zoomed in scenario tree to choose from. Games easy to win and not complex. Don’t waste your money..Version: 1.4.3
✓ Desperately Needs UpdateAt first when i started playing this game a while ago, id say id give it about 4 stars it was a solid game overall. However now i wouldnt be able to give it any higher than a 2, the scenarios are worn out, you made us pay for a game that has no longevity. It needs new features, maybe even a character concept, or like be able to name diseases or monsters. Even new scenarios, something to bring this hame back to life. Right now honestly there is no point in even playing the game anymore i have done all scenarios and completed them fully..Version: 1.3.9
✓ Boring and too easyRepetitive and too easy. should be a free game.Version: 1.4.3
✓ Has Tremendous Potential but....As the title states, this game has potential but it is undeveloped... I literally beat the entire game in 1 hour.... I love the ideal but I expected this game to mentally challenge me... I expected a game in which I have to think out side of the box when trying to “Destroy the world”.... This game needs to become more of an challenge ...Puzzle Type game and then I will consider it 5 stars but as of now I can’t.Version: 1.4.2
✓ Great concept but...This game has a great concept exploring different timelines and choosing different paths to wipe out humanity, but for a paid game, I expected way more content then this? I spent 30 minutes on this game and I already completed all the timelines/scenarios and it seems like it would just get boring over time. Unlike Plague Inc. with multiple consecutive scenarios and you can even create your own! Also this game is too easy, should have a difficulty feature like “Malicious” being the hardest one. Don’t get me wrong this is executed pretty well but please add more content!.Version: 1.3.9
✓ No strategyThere is no strategy to this game, you just choose random story lines. Disappointing..Version: 1.4.3
✓ No Worth itThe game could’ve had a lot to offer but falls short it every way.Version: 1.3.6
✓ Don’t know why it’s rated so highIt’s not bad but it’s not good either, it’s just a Plague Inc copy but fancier graphics and not as deep strategy. You just collect ‘sins’ (tapping icons on the screen) until you have 40, then use them to unlock different things that contribute to the death count, keep doing this till everyone dies. The descriptions of the various catastrophes are a little interesting but I found consistent mistakes, I realise that the author may not use English as a first language however it needs checking over. I think a lot more depth to the gameplay would improve this game..Version: 1.3.8
✓ NerfedSo the game has totally changed and now you get literally buy everything and still lose. It’s still fun at times but I wouldn’t pay for it, go play Pandemic instead.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Far to easyWhilst a great little app to pass the time wiping out humanity, it’s far to easy, completed unless than 90 mins. Multiple ways out, all seem to work. Overall game play is fine, but needs levels of toughness to complete, as gets boring quickly..Version: 1.4.3
✓ Very boring, linear and a waste.DON’T BUY IT. The poorly written storylines lack proper grammar and punctuation and provides little food for the imagination. The progression is desperately linear with no strategy in the process whatsoever. This game is a sink for your money. An utter waste of time and money..Version: 1.3.6
✓ Don’t get this appOnly has 4 levels and takes maybe max 2-3 minutes to beat one. Gameplay is exactly the same every level, minus the different story lines that are poorly thought out and often make little sense..Version: 1.3.9
✓ ImpossibleI used to play a lot, just redownloaded and it’s now impossible, they’ve made the first level almost impossible as there are only 2 ways u can kill people, and after a certain point people just stop dying.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Not enough valueThis is an entertaining game, but once you run through each scenario 3 times, you’ve seen everything that’s on it. Not enough content..Version: 1.3.9
✓ Big missExpected this game to be like plague inc. honestly until I came to review I thought it was the same developers but it’s not. Gameplay is hardly game play it’s like choose your own adventure with no logic. Seemingly random what the correct choice is. Do not recommend in any way..Version: 1.4.3
✓ Good but has a major flawI loved this game even before the update, it was so much fun and I loved achievement hunting. But in the new update you can be soft locked in a point where no one will die and there is nothing you can do. After you finish the main path in the early scenarios and are working on the stopping the humans from escaping, if the world’s population stops going down then there is nothing you can do. Please fix..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Not what you thinkBroken english, and no percentages to tell you how you are doing. There is no pacing, and you always lose. The “stories” are 3 seconds long and have virtually no impact to the game; as in you have to finish at-least 3 different apocalypses to doom humanity, none of which will ever conflict with each other... DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS.Version: 1.3.6
✓ Super average, not worth £1.99Quite disappointing. I got 20 mins out of this one, then I felt I’d done it to death (no pun, I promise). It’s just the same thing repeated for each scenario. Annoyingly, the birth rate doesn’t increase, so you’re effectively fighting against very little. What a shame. Graphically beautiful, but woeful long-term gameplay..Version: 1.3.8
✓ It’s good butI wanted to play plague inc after playing it, the scenarios are really interesting and I’m hoping they add more, it would be cool if we could see the world being dystroyed in certain scenarios.Version: 1.4.3
✓ BoringNo challenge or reward.Version: 1.3.8
✓ Not what I expectedHmmm well it’s not what I was hoping for. Where’s the challenge? Where’s the content? Honestly this game has been hyped up too much. No skill involved at all. If you’re thinking this is similar in anyway to plague and rebel insurgence it’s not!.Version: 1.3.5
✓ Good Concept, Needs WorkThe idea of this game intrigued me, so I had a bit of an impulsive decision to buy this game. I’m having a few regrets with it, though. The game feels very linear, and although you do have choices, they really do not have any different outcomes. With every new event, “x” people die, and your goal is to kill “y” number of people. It’s a nice concept, but it would be better if the game was more similar to something of Plague Inc. I’m not saying to make a copy, but at its current state, the game is honestly not worth paying for..Version: 1.4.3
✓ Is barely fun, more of a chore to playThis game has so much potential. It obviously takes a lot of games elements from PLAGUE INC but it doesn't deliver the fun. This game doesnt have the cool visuals, doesn't let you pick the countries to affect, and is overall just a clicker without any strategy. There needs to be deeper mechanics to this game to make it fun. As of now I wish I hadn't paid for this app..Version: 1.3.8
✓ Not Bad...COULD BE BETTER!Four (4) different scenarios, with different paths in all. I bought the game less than 30mins ago and completed all the content within the app. For $1.99 probably not with it, I most definitely wouldn’t recommend it. Maybe if it was just $0.99 it’d be expected of what’s to come once you buy it but even that’s kinda polite. As far as the kinda of paths and options that’s the good part. If they could or hopefully near future add more content this game is going to be more than worth the purchase..Version: 1.3.6
✓ Entertaining at timesOkay so I was pretty excited to try this game out but it ended up being a disappointment. It is very repetitive! Although it has its moments, it wouldn’t justify buying it. The resistance tab is never needed (I never used it) and all the scenarios can be completed in like 5 min. I waited until I completed the game to make this review just in case it got better but it didn’t. You should skip buying this game..Version: 1.4.2
✓ BasicIt’s okay but all the levels are essentially the same but with different storyline. Doesn’t take long to play through. Gets dull quite quickly.Version: 1.4.3
✓ Don’t understand the high ratingsThere is no game. All you do is collect sin points and then use those points to select scenarios that will set a planetary wide daily death rate. There is also a “rescue” timer that saves people and will lower your final score if you don’t kill people fast enough. That is it. There is no strategy, no creativity, no thought. The only entertainment in this “game” is the end of the world scenarios which you read and choose. The scenarios you select change nothing in the gameplay or graphics but the death rate. If you were looking for Plague, Inc with different disasters this is not it. Its barely anything at all..Version: 1.3.5
✓ Not quiet what I hoped for...Interesting idea, but very basic and certainly not worth the price as advertised. There needs to be many more “levels” or scenarios - as well as being developed enough to compensate. Very disappointing..Version: 1.3.8
✓ It needs more workIt needs mores work. It has potential.Version: 1.4.2
✓ HmmSo there’s four levels? I went through all four in about 10 mins.. I guess my expectations were too high....Version: 1.3.8
✓ Like but ehhhhhhSo I played and it was fun and easy until war came up and it became complicated so please make easier.Version: 1.4.3
