Wave goodbye to the rest of your weekend.
Infectonator: World Dominator is a game about destroying the world with a zombie apocalypse. It’s less of a thinky-thinky kind of apocalypse, though, and more of a clicky-clicky one: you start an infection in a group of people, watch it spread, and spend the cash you get from killing humans to upgrade your zombies. It’s classic upgrade-based empowerment fantasy, executed superbly. Once you get about halfway through the game, you won’t even need to strategize anymore. You also won’t care, because holy sh*t I’m god of the zombies.
Watch in supervillain-esque glee as with the click of a single button, you create a smaller crowd of zombies that creates a larger crowd of zombies that eventually takes over an entire town, leaving it a smoldering ruin of its former self. Then, destroy the next town. Then, the entire country. Eventually, cackle with maniacal glee as the entire world falls under your zombie-spawning might.
I’m usually opposed to any games where you’re meant to sympathize with the undead — Stubbs the Zombie personally offends me — but you really can’t fault a game where Venom and Colonel Sanders are unlockable characters.
