As mentioned, most genes are shared so the only plague types you should need to complete a game for are: From the main menu select 'Load Game' and load up the scenario that only just finished, again let it play out to the end and exit the results screen, another gene will unlock! Repeat this until you have unlocked every gene for that virus type and you will be done in no time. Now let the plague kill off the rest of humanity and exit out of the post-game results screen to unlock a random gene. On the lower difficulties it will be almost a guaranteed victory so play the scenarios out and wait until the you are down to the last 1-5 million survivors on earth and save your game. Start a game on Casual/Normal difficulty and follow the methods for that plague type as outlined in the Mega Brutal difficulty guide (linked below in the Resources section). There is a quick way to unlock all genes which will cut down significantly on your play time which is as follows: Fortunately though, many of the genes are shared by multiple plague types and if unlocked for one virus it can then become available for use on all other virus types. On easier difficulties these perks just make things go a little faster but on Mega Brutal they are paramount to success, though unfortunately they are all locked to begin with and must be unlocked by winning games. You can set a maximum of 5 genes at a time and they are unchangeable once the game gets going to choose wisely. Once you've settled on your plague, it's time to modify its genetic code.īefore you infect anybody with your plague, you can modify the genetic make up of the virus with certain perks which offer everything from more DNA points and easier transmission/infectivity to making your plague harder to cure and offsetting costs to evolve/devolve against how hard your plague is to cure. Each plague is unique and has its own traits, some evolve symptoms more naturally, others are better at transmission etc. In order to unlock the rest you must win a game on at least Normal difficulty starting with Bacteria and going in sequential order until you have unlocked the Bio-Weapon. The only playable plagues to begin with are Bacteria, Simian Flu and Shadow Plague. Your first item of business is to choose your brand of death from the list below:

The game has a Tutorial which is playable from the main menu to get the basic hang of things like controls and how to evolve your plague, the news feed, viewing country information and so on but being a strategy game there's a raft of information to get to grips with so below I will cover the underpinning mechanics of the game. Can you infect the entire world with your pathogen and kill off everybody before the cure is fully researched?Īt a glance you may assume that game itself is limited to having such a defined objective each time you play but thanks to a host of plague types, scenarios and difficulties, there is plenty to keep you playing and the trophy distribution ensures you dabble in everything it has to offer. Depending on the severity and lethality of your plague, airports and seaports will close down and border controls will be on high alert until the world begins to collaborate on work for the cure. Don't expect this to be a walk in the park though, as humans are resilient beings and once your disease is noticed they will begin to take action to research a cure and fight the disease. The premise of the game is to create a deadly plague by infecting 'patient zero' with a harmless spore of your chosen strand of disease and systematically evolve the traits, symptoms, abilities and transmission capabilities to turn your disease into a global epidemic which ultimately wipes out humanity.
