Is Infect and Destroy worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Zombie-game fans who want to control the outbreak rather than defend against it
- Strategy players who prefer open-ended campaigns with environmental disruption
- Groups seeking cooperative or human-versus-zombie multiplayer modes
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a tightly scripted campaign may find the sandbox structure too open-ended
- Those who prefer small, focused arenas may not enjoy the large terrain and global spread
- Players looking for a purely single-player experience will not use the cooperative and versus modes
Our take on Infect and Destroy
The listing emphasizes worldwide infection, disasters, and large environments, but gives less attention to how the campaign is paced or how much variety exists across repeated outbreaks. The control of individual infected units is also presented as a major feature without explaining how often it matters.
What is Infect and Destroy?
Control a self-aware infectious disease in a non-linear sandbox campaign.
Spread across cities and other locations, reanimate the dead, and turn them into controllable minions. Mutate the virus, create specialized zombies, trigger disasters, and establish bases by converting abandoned buildings into hives. Traps, spawners, and organic structures support the expansion of the plague. Human forces respond with quarantines, military attacks, evacuations, vaccinations, and nuclear weapons. Infections and battles take place across swamps, forests, mountains, and other large environments. Players can damage power stations, water supplies, and food stores to disrupt communities. Cooperative and versus modes are included, along with the ability to control individual zombies or infected units.
