Someone Has Recreated ‘Plague Inc.’ in ‘Minecraft’

TouchArcade Rating:

I’m a big Minecraft fan, but that pretty much consists of me exploring the world, fighting enemies, and generally just adventuring about. When it comes to the crazy stuff that can be created from within Minecraft, I just am not smart enough to do any of it. I just can’t wrap my head around it. Such is the case with this latest video where YouTuber McMakistein has recreated the awesome strategy game Plague Inc. ($0.99) inside of Minecraft. The entire world map is there, and the game works by you sparking off a plague in the country of your choosing and trying to get it to spread everywhere and destroy all of humanity before a cure can be found. Pretty much just like in the regular Plague Inc. There’s even coins to collect and upgrades to buy. Check it out.

As you can see towards the end of the video, McMakistein goes behind the scenes and shows all the complex Redstone machines that drive the Plague Inc. gameplay. This is where my mind boggles. I don’t think I’ll ever be smart enough to create something like that, but I sure do appreciate that there are people out there doing this sort of stuff so I can kick back and enjoy it.

    Can you infect the world? Plague Inc. is a unique mix of high strategy and terrifyingly realistic simulation. Your pat…

      1. shadax

        Which game are you vvvvvvvery excited for?

    3. iValerio1990

      Nothing for me

    4. PresidentZer0

      Nothing going on on e3 right? Only saw the gameloft games most of them are runners.... Nothing special :(
      I also wonder what happened to oddworld strangers wrath. It gets delayed every time

      I really think it's a weak week

      1. Greenwithskillz

        Not that bad compared to last week

      Note that "Damn Little Town" is FREE for 48 hours only (Launch Sale). So you may want to grab it now - just to check if this is your type-of-game.

      1. MajorCheevo

        Thanks for the tip I'll pick it up just incase

      Nothing again! Getting sick of all these 16 bit releases. They were from a bygone age. Current devices deserve much better.

      1. stotch.butters

        well, some of these are even 8bit - but that makes them even better for me :)

      2. Alexythimia23

        I could not have said it better myself, find myself thinking that most weeks, battle heart legacy being an exception though

    8. Bloodangel

      Think this is the first time in a long time, that there's no game releases that interest me at all :(

      1. ste86uk

        I agree I know someone always says it's a poor week every week but I usually find something I want. May try the town and chicken games but don't really want any.

    9. kenken11

      I have no idea why the hype for vvvvvv. Nothing for me on Wednesday. :(

      1. kenken11

        The gameplay video make me sleep already, I don't dare to imagine playing it. I am having so much fun with battleheart legacy. Our liking seems to be on different level. Yours is on the boring level :) lol

    10. Rubicon Development

      Don't forget apps that were released on Tuesday!...

      1. mid83

        What came out yesterday?

      2. HelperMonkey

        That's a Great Little reminder, Rubicon.

    11. HandsomeLuke

      WWWW for me

    12. NickyNichols

      Really excited for Jacob Jones Episode 2. The first episode was a blast!

    13. B30

      Deep Space Pussy - sounds like an adult game 👉👌.

      1. Jake7905

        Or an extremely frightened astronaut.....

    14. PoloBaquerizoH

      The only good games this weeks are VVVVVV and Fluid and maybe Twisty Planets , nothing more!

    15. PoloBaquerizoH

      Offcourse, besides Democracy 3 and Great. Little War game 2

    16. HarryWarden

      When is episode 2 of Broken Sword coming? The wait is seemingly endless.

    17. Zazzy

      Not a VVVVVVVery interesting week

    18. otakuzod

      I wonder just how long it took "Deep Space Pussy" to get App Store approval... It's not just any pussy, but Deep Space Pussy. I give them props for the original name, in any event.

    19. kevin8977

      TIL you can have "damn" and "pussy" in your app title.

    20. Spaztika

      It may be just me.. But I find it a decent week. Twisty Planets, Fluid SE, VVVVV and Jacob Jones look fantastic! And I'll pick up Jupiter Jump because I'm a sucker for score chasing twitchy games. Everyone either says great week or weak week.. Is there no grey area?

    21. V for Viennetta

      I might be on my own with this, but I'm looking forward to trying (R)evolve. Think it's the 1st Team17 game on iOS that isn't a reboot of one of their 1990s back-catalogue.

    22. DannyTheElite

      Finally it's out. Waiting until midnight for vvvvvv

    23. Donny K76

      Several good games this week including Angry Birds Epic tomorrow. Last week was horrendous.

    24. julian6077

      Finally! Get to play with some Vs tonight. 😏
