60 of 167 · most liked firstI am a long time fan of the franchise. playing the games while in school instead of listening to the teachers, playing Hot Chase on my tablet when I got home, even playing It at home for fun, when there were other BETTER games out there. And then I saw Infectonator 3 come out, and i Ignored it for 8 years. Then i decided to but it, and for $13 there should not be a glitch to where you instantly lose if you do not destroy Europe or America before reaching 80% world panic. with an average of 5…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm giving it a thumbs up only because is Infectonator and I'm enjoying my second playthrough of it with "casual" mode turned ON. Edit: nvm. even on casual there's still a HUGE difficulty spike. A couple warnings before buying the game: - Only get it on a deep discount. Definitely not worth the almost $20 cad asking price. For the $5 I got it at, yeah. And the big one: The difficulty of the base game without casual mode turned on is... pretty bad. If you've ever played an Infectonator…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is fun but it does get grindy because of a sudden difficulty increase mid game...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have complete the game already here are my opinion. First the game is quite fun for the first hour to figure out what tactic workout the best then after you figure out it went down hill quickly you just repeat the same tactic every map to win which it take me more than 1+ hour to complete it just repeating the same thing every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time making it quite boring and also the infection rate is slow af. The only reason why I pay/play this game is because I miss this game and especially it on…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to enjoy this game, but I just can't. At the start it's fun, you place zombies, watch them kill everyone, it's fun. Then the maps get bigger and bigger, more mayhem! But as you do so, people start fighting back, to the point when my 1300 defense zombie dies IMMEDIATELY upon placement. The obvious solution is just to use the grenade to eliminate the strong guys right? No, because after any action when there's no zombies the round ends. So you need to use a bomb, sacrifice one…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thinking about the good old Flash games from back in the day, zombie survival titles were amongst the most popular as far as delivering a quick yet purely satisfying experience on the action front with shooting galore amongst the undead hordes. Yet in amongst these zombie-inspired games lays one that took an entirely different approach to the formula where, instead of being told to eliminate the ever-growing masses of flesh-eating monsters that mutated and grew ever stronger as did the arsenal…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I picked up this game out of nostalgia for the original games. This is not nearly as fun as the older games, and is frankly frustrating. Zombie upgrades are tied to the amount of "zombies" you have, which means summoning zombies takes away from upgrades. Upgrading in general is super slow. The game jumps between being too easy and impossible. Don't know what the developer was thinking, but almost every mechanic introduced in this game takes away from the fun. Games are meant to be fun.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a solid game but I have one major complaint that it seems a lot of 8-bit games have: white screen photo flashes are extremely disruptive to some people, and as I age, I get less tolerant of seeing games make this same stupid mistake. Reply with a fix and I'll change this review.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Looks super cute from the outside. Gets boring after around 2h of gameplay. Horrible in-game progression. Score: 5/10 Zombies Stay away, if you are still among the living.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game simply does not hit the same way as the Flash Infectonator games because of modern game development philosophy tropes (crafting; a time limit - for single player games, why?). Felt more like a mobile game, which is not what I was expecting (at least not entirely). Game also trips a bit over its' own design - you are, for some reason, limited in the ability to make zombies, while the premise of the game is making zombies, which create more zombies. Unfortunately, I had to refund this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While the core game is enjoyable once, and pretty reasonably priced on sale, the final achievement is a mindless grind fest that is essentially "Click through a time gated screen 500 times"
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Intro credit video of ''Toge games'' is so eardrum ripping loud, it will destroy your speakers. Wtf.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have never seen a game misunderstand so bad what made the previous ones good
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game kind of staggered me because it was the first time I've really played or seen something and was like "Yeah. This is totally from the 2010s". It kind of dawned on me that the 2010s used to be my entire world as someone so young, but now its firmly in the past. It really hit me how quickly pillars of your life start to vanish into sand, and when you notice that something's a miss they're already blowing away in the wind, never to be seen again anyway uhhhhhh is a fun arcade game. Good…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Old school retro incremental rogue lite. Skills help but not needed to enjoy it. Just kill, level up, and keep going. Try to destroy the world before they find a cure for the zombie plague you have unleash. Defeat area bosses and gain specialized unique elite zombie units. Definitely light hearted time killing fun that just happens to have a gore twist to it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really tried to like this game, sadly it sucks. The game plays and acts like it really wants you to replay it multiple times in different ways to earn everything. Yet: 1. There are no upgrades that stay, i accidentally deleted a run, because they made that function really easy for some reason. 3, There is literally no replayability factor. 4. it doesnt really matter if you win or fail. As you can see i have 11h because i did replay it a couple times and tried to pull out fun stuff. But no,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The kind of game where you say "Just one more round." and end up playing for the next 2 months.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Scratches the nostalgia itch, but around 60% of the way through a campaign it gets trivially easy and you're mostly watching loading screens while the game plays itself. Worth it when it goes on sale for a couple bucks.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game series was always nostalgic to me. I remember playing this as an old flash game during computer time at school. I always loved the thought of taking over the world with zombies, as a normal sane person does. But after 100%ing this game, I can say that the game series still holds up quite well. Some of the achievements caused a 2-3 hour game to go to a 13 hour one, but overall, It's still a pretty fun game. It does have some outdated references but I still enjoy it. If they were to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can only up/down thumb it, but this is more of a sideways, a 2.5 star. The 27 hours is because I just left it on in the background and came back to it as needed. Enjoyed the game as a once through, but started to drag towards the end as you're just essentially repeating the same cycle in maps over and over with very little challenge. Would benefit from a way to speed up the non-gameplay moments -- it feels like just clicking through the menus between maps takes more time than the map…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As far as I can tell after purchasing this game, this game does not work with the Xbox wireless controller. So even though it says fully compatible, it does not seem to work natively with the Xbox Wireless controller. I am able to get the controller working through Steam Input but it does not play well. Heads up if you are a Xbox wireless controller player. Given a thumbs up as I'm sure the game is good, if it was playable with controller as stated.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have played all of these. (Various spin offs and such have caused there to be a few more than 3) Thus far they have not failed me. *Sigh* Till now. I don't even know exactly what has gone wrong. Part of me wants to say they added too many parts. That there's too much to it. That it's overdone. But I don't know if that's even accurate. I3 has lost it's mojo. The magic is just somehow not her for me. I can't put my finger on it but it does not really matter. I don't like asking for…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I thought this was a casual fun zombie game, considering it's Flash Game history. It may seem fun at first but it gets increasingly frustrating later because countries will start wielding weapons even civilians. You forgot your specials? Well too bad they're going to progress without you. No zombies and Money? You better upgrade all your money on your zombie's stats cuz you aren't going anywhere without it. You have to do it PERFECTLY, even on casual.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is not good as the first one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i love this game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved Infectonator: World Dominatior. This one is similar, but it feels unbalanced. At some point you can't really compete against the special forces anymore. They kill your Zombies faster than you deploy them and all people on the map seem to be these. All in all it's fun, but it gets too fast too frustrating.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is only good if you got it for less than $2 like how I did, first playthrough is fun but besides that it takes 5+ hours to beat a single game and it's slooooooow. Only get if it's on sale and you enjoy games similar to Plague Inc.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is simple, short if grinded, and not too difficult in my opinion. It's like playing a mobile game, but extended on PC. Also no ads or cash-grabby pay to win tactics.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Infectonator 3: Apocalypse is a strategy simulation game that puts players in the role of a mad scientist trying to infect the world with a zombie virus. It’s a quirky, pixel-art experience that blends humor with chaotic gameplay. The game shines with its addictive mechanics, letting players unleash and evolve zombies while managing resources to spread the infection strategically. The pixel-art visuals and dark humor add charm, with plenty of references and jokes to keep things lighthearted.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really dislike that you have a limited stockpile of zombies that you have to use for both upgrading and summoning zombies. This discourages you from summoning zombies, which is the whole point of the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is hard because I enjoy the infectionator series as a whole, but this game has two major problems: 1) It's very content light compared to many games in the series, making replayability rock bottom 2) 20 bucks is...not the right price for this game. I got it for 5 on a sale and I still feel like I didn't quite get my money's worth. If it was $5, and you didn't mind a slightly more repetitive experience, sure; but honestly just play one of the other games, even some of the free ones…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very repetitive with 2-3 hour long runs once you clear a continent you've experienced everything the game has to offer and yet they make you do it again and again not to mention the random difficulty spikes the ZIT specifically just checks if you've maxed out your common infected or bought enough landmines because they do so much damage
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is probably one of the games that make me wish there was an in between option for reviews. I do enjoy the gameplay but it can get repetitive at times. The pixel art is very good. The one issue is that some of the references do end up being a bit dated. Either way, it's pretty fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun in a mobile game sort of way. Nothing super deep, and better efficiency runs don't really interest me, but I enjoyed the time I spent playing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Infectonator 3: Apocalypse is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs. This mobile app is a simple iPhone screen tapper from the app stores. The idea is that you are a mad scientist, you create zombies and use them to take over the world. This works a but like Pandemic Inc, but there's a ground game that works not unlike the "active" parts of a tower defense as you use timed abilities to create more zombies…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The main issue for Infectonator 3: Apocalypse is the price point. For $16.99, you get roughly 3-4 hours (assuming you are not over the age of 60) of gameplay, of which you can (and I have) 100% the game while doing so. The pixel art is very good. The gameplay is fun for the first hour, but once you realize the core issues which make themselves apparent after that first hour, you'd really only play this game again to 100% it. The strategy or lack thereof is also an issue that combines with the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good ol' infectonator but better. Definitely a must try
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Infectonator 3: Apocalypse, developed by Toge Productions and published by Armor Games Studios, is a chaotic blend of strategy, simulation, and dark comedy that invites players to do the unthinkable—wipe out humanity one infection at a time. The game continues the legacy of the Infectonator series, evolving its pixel-art roots into a larger and more dynamic experience while maintaining the irreverent humor that made its predecessors cult favorites. Rather than playing as a survivor or a hero,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →COVID could have been worse.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was well worth the € 2.55, cool sequel if you've played the others.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just as addicting as it was when I was playing the Android version on my Samsung Galaxy S3 as a sophmore in highschool on the way to school at 6 in the morning. Missions are just as compact as they were then with the same chaos clicking infectinator style gameplay with bursts of 30 seconds to 2 minutes long. Good zombie game for the cheap and a must play if you've never played one of these games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR: It’s a quick and fun game that brings back the charm of old flash games. Get this during a sale (around 50% off or more), it’s definitely worth $5, but a bit pricey at full price for a game with only one mode. I was a huge fan of the original game on the Armor Games site and played it multiple times, including the mobile version. Naturally, I enjoyed revisiting the Infectonator world in Infectonator 3, evolving zombie minions, and unlocking elite zombies. However, a certain issue…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just as fun as the flash version back then.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game but I recommend buying on sale. Great and addicting in the classic "timesink flash game" genre. I remember playing this years ago so I'm glad its on Steam. The gameplay is quite simple to understand so once it clicks you probably won't face a challenge after about 4 hours of playtime, but there are mutators available. It can also be 100%d in around 8-12 hours.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun, but the replayability is a bit limited. Definitely worth it if you grab it on sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a little gem and deserves a 4th game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buggy mess. Cure meter is stuck at 100%. Also have been experiencing a bug where the placement timer for zombies/items is stuck at 0.0 causing me to fail a city. Was hoping for a better version of infectionator 2 and was disappointed
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After spending a decent amount of time playing this game and getting every achievement I can safely say the biggest take away that I will absolutely never forget from this game is every single boss stage bugging out and causing all the people to become naked old men.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A likable game, but there's some rough edges to fix. For example, the sound track is -very- short. The game also gets repetitive quickly
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →just BAD worst game ever made do NOT recommend i hate it so much im mad
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If only they hadn't made it a roguelike. Then it could be fun too.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's hard to like this game where the game gets stupidly hard too fast. by the time military comes out, the game is over in a blink. I can't be invested in something where the game stops you from making any progress. it's slows down to s halt soo fast
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun, but gets repetitive and boring in the mid-late game. I got so OP 1-100 real quick. This game is well optimized even in highest graphics, I only wish they could balance the game more to make it a bit harder. And I would also would want to learn more lore in the game, like what happens after you infect the world. Overall this game is fun, but gets repetitive some point.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →overpriced and the difficulty curve is very weird
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →infectonator 1 was so much better
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →poorly optimized. crashes, inferior to previous installments, and very confusing to play. don't hate it personally. but there's a bit of glaring issues and this upsets me. i'll probably be asking a refund for this
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sure, Infectonator 3: Apocalypse is charming for the first hour of gameplay when you're initially infecting the world with your zombie virus, but it gets old FAST. I3:A's big problem is its abysmal pacing; there's no real sense of discovery past the first hour of gameplay, and I felt like I was grinding the game out way too soon. It's very easy to tell if you're going to win the rest of the campaign, yet you're going to have to play for another 2-3 hours to reach the inevitable. I absolutely…
