Infect and Destroy

About

Infect and Destroy casts you as a self-aware virus determined to wipe out humanity. Spread across cities worldwide by mutating strains, converting hosts, and building hives in derelict buildings. Manage resources to sustain your horde while deciding between stealthy infiltrations or brute-force assaults. Co-op and competitive modes let allies amplify the plague or pit human survivors against your undead legions in direct confrontations. The game’s scale and complexity stand out, with large maps featuring varied terrain and realistic infection chains. Human responses escalate from quarantines to nuclear threats, demanding constant adaptation. Released in 2015, it runs on PC and Linux with a focus on nonlinear strategy. Players highlight the satisfaction of collapsing societies through calculated mutations and environmental sabotage. No tutorials guide you, success hinges on learning enemy behaviors and exploiting their vulnerabilities.
