About This Game

In the event of a global pandemic, would your priority be preserving lives or saving the economy? Or do you perhaps believe that you could handle both?

Pandemic Crisis simulates the emergence of a new and highly infective virus and gives you sole control of the effort to prevent the virus from causing the complete downfall of civilization as we know it.



To limit the spread of the virus, you can issue recommendations to avoid crowds, close schools, suspend air travel or even borders, enforce complete or partial curfews and so on, for each of the 171 countries and territories represented. You will also be able to focus research on new or existing vaccines and antivirals and even take some action to boost the short term economy, in order to prevent a financial disaster on top of the virological one.

The options available to you will vary somewhat, depending on the government type and authoríty level (and respect for human rights) in each country or territory. The virus will also behave somewhat differently in different countries, depending on levels of sanitation, healthcare, population density, urbanization and several other factors that would affect the virus' ability to spread. Some actions will have better effect in certain countries than in others.

Each action you take will have some drawbacks, however. Closing a country completely and enforcing a 24/7 curfew might prevent new infections almost completely among the general population in a certain country, but how would it affect the economy? And would the population stick to the rules imposed on them?

Well, it's time to find out!

Pandemic Crisis uses real world population and economic statistics as far as possible and best estimates where official (and trustworthy) facts are not available.

This game for the price is a fantastic pandemic simulator. I love how there is no winning or losing and the fact that this game encourages you to see he economic and human side to your decisions. Timing in this game is everything in the early stages, knowing when to invoke certain restrictions in certain countries is important, countries to some extent feel different to others, some feel very different and each country will have to be analysed to decide your best approach. However the game lacks (as far as I am aware) a save function. This needs to happen as obviously sometimes these pandemics can take a long time to end. I would recommend this game and hope that the developers improve some things slightly. Notably the save function being added, maybe a few more decisions and possibly some little visual upgrades. Nonetheless definitely recommended for the price.

I never placed a review for i game on Steam, and i probably will never do so again. But this "game" is not really a game in my opinion. I see it as i simulator of a balance act between money, and the lives of people. It has no flashy music or graphics. But it does a good job in showing the effects of a pandemic on the economy, and the cost of human lives if you do not choose too take measures that will harm the economy. It can be seen as a kind of reality check. People or the economy, the choice is yours. Thumps up for the Dev, it seems to me that he knows his stuff about this matter. 13/5000 Bedoelde je: balanceeract 13/5000

Truly a brilliant simulator, it’s very interesting to see how each country almost has a unique approach and idea of restrictions. (I had Colombia at 25m cases and still refusing to allow full lockdown, yet other counties with 50k allowing it. Very cool feature) My only bug bare is that no matter how early I start my vaccine research they always have 0% efficacy, every single one every single time. I’ve never had a vaccine with more than 0% and so it feels like the game has no conclusion, especially when counties are getting tired of restrictions and i want to ease them safely. Am I doing something wrong or is this a common vaccine issue? Great game!!! Keep it up!

This game is immersive and complex - you start off thinking that you can get ahead of the virus as soon as it manifests itself, but you really can't. As a result, you get drawn into the complexities of the different possible actions you can put in place in each country and before you know it, the game lives up to the title and there's a worldwide pandemic crisis on your hands. It becomes quite haunting as the death toll rises and it's frightening, especially in the current COVID-19 situation, how long it will take before it is all overcome. On a separate note, the developer has been outstanding at responding to feedback - providing valuable insight and detail into how he can best tackle your issue and improve the game. Already there have been two updates to improve the game, which is commendable. Buy this game, play it, but be warned, you will become attached to it!
