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 hampered my overall enjoyment. This issue is “the tutorial messages” , which gave me a misleading impression about a crucial mechanic. The tutorial suggested that status upgrades from lab improvements would significantly improve my zombies. In reality, these upgrades only had minor effects. The impactful upgrades were hidden in the Elite Zombie Upgrade tab, a fact I didn’t realize until much later. This misunderstanding made my first play-through extremely frustrating, as I struggled to keep up with the escalating world perks and ultimately hit a progression wall, resulting in a failed game. About the Game Infectonator 3 follows the same formula as its flash predecessor: you’re an evil scientist aiming to cause a zombie apocalypse using your undead minions and a handful of tools. There’s no real story aside from occasional world news reports, which reveal new global perks to counter your zombies. This time, the developers introduced a new mechanic—a mix of Plague Inc-style cure research escalation and XCOM-style panic-meter difficulty progression, Panic meter . The Panic Meter is split into World and Zone levels. It increases through various triggers, such as the passage of days, attacking regions, and reaching infection thresholds. Once the Panic Meter crosses specific points, regional and global perks are unlocked, representing the world’s reaction to the zombie apocalypse. Additionally, research labs randomly appear and begin developing a cure. The core gameplay loop involves attacking regions, collecting coins, and completing challenges. These actions allow you to evolve your zombies, expand your reach, and ultimately dominate the world. It’s important to note that global perks significantly boost the world’s combat potential against your zombies. By the mid-to-late game, even untouched regions will feature fully armed civilians and soldiers who can quickly wipe out underleveled zombies. This Panic Meter progression creates a mid-game difficulty spike , especially when elite soldiers are introduced. If you’re ahead of the Panic Meter’s perks, the game is fun and manageable. However, if you fall behind, it can become frustrating and even lead to hitting a progression wall. Limited Replayability The game only offers a World Domination mode , with various modifiers unlocked after completing runs. Activating these modifiers costs coins, which are earned by winning the game. Unfortunately, this single mode can feel repetitive after three playthroughs. For this reason, I wouldn’t recommend buying the game at full price. Tips for New Players [*] Evolve Basic Zombies FIRST in the Elite Zombie Lab Upgrade tab. And ignore evolving other zombies. This significantly boosts basic zombie stats and helps you stay ahead of the difficulty curve. [*] Prioritize upgrading Speed and Lifespan, while spreading some points into other stats. [*] For DNA upgrades, focus on stat boosts (like armor) rather than unlocking new zombies early on. [*] Use support items (e.g., grenades) during the mid-game difficulty spike. They can help you achieve perfect map clears, which grant valuable bonus coins and zombies. Final Thoughts Infectonator 3 has a lot of charm, especially if you enjoyed the original flash games. However, slightly misleading tutorial and the limited content make it hard to justify the full price. Get it on sale, follow the tips above, and have fun!

It's an alright game. I played a bit and enjoyed it. Unfortunately, something about it triggers my migraines, so I will be refunding it.

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.

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 make another game, I hope they make it more focused on the semi-fusion gimmick with the zombies and make a whole game about making weird and cool zombie variants while taking over the world. I give this game a solid 9/10

Fun, but the replayability is a bit limited. Definitely worth it if you grab it on sale.
