Infectonator 3: Apocalypse is a simulation-strategy game where you lead a growing army of mutating zombies to destroy humanity. You'll lurch across the world map, dropping viruses into unsuspecting populations and using the environment to your advantage. With over 200 interactive levels, you can blow up walls and lock doors to ensure no human escapes. Splice DNA to unlock new mutations and master unique powers, but move quickly—humanity is researching a cure that will end your reign if you're not fast enough.

89/100

Infectonator 3: Apocalypse is a delight for anyone with a dark sense of humor. It takes the classic zombie outbreak formula and turns it into a colorful, chaotic pixel-art strategy game. Your goal is simple: destroy the world. The fun comes from how you do it—splicing DNA to create over 35 different types of zombies, from basic shamblers to leaping monstrosities.

The game is deceptively challenging. Humans don't just sit there; they research cures and deploy 'super soldiers' that can wipe out your horde in seconds. This creates a frantic race where you have to prioritize attacking research labs while also causing enough mayhem to earn the cash needed for upgrades. The parodies of real-world locations and characters add a layer of biting satire that makes every successful apocalypse feel uniquely entertaining. It’s arcade-style destruction at its finest.

Great game but lots of crashing
Sun Jun 16 2019 Skelt76

I just want to say that I am a major fan of these games so when I saw the 3rd one I got it immediately. I love this game and it is everything I love about the first two but it also keeps it refreshing. The only complaint I have is that this game crashes often, if I get to anything more than 30 people the game will crash almost instantly, the only way I can prevent this is by turning off the blood and music, which takes some enjoyment out of the game. Even when I do that the game will crash once I complete a level that has a certain amount as previously stated, it crashes when I move on to another level and complete it. I love this game and this series so I hope this gets fixed soon, thanks to anyone who may take the time to read this.

Stopped Working
Thu May 28 2020 SUPERSHASHA164

I found this game because I love the infectonator series and I knew they were coming out with a third one at some point. Low and behold, here it is! I began playing it last night and got pretty far, playing more today- only to find that the game froze out of nowhere and tried restarting the app. It wouldn’t even let me out of the game, so I thought it had something to do with my IPad. I did a hard reset on my iPad and tried getting back into the game, but it was stuck on the title and would not move. I restarted the app several times and it did the same thing. I delete the app, and it started to work again only to have all of my data erased and didn’t save my previous file (like it does with the rest of the games). So now, I have to restart the game from the beginning and lost all my work I did before.

Crash Issues
Tue Jun 11 2019 TurkeyJones

I’ve been playing every game in this series and I got excited seeing the third game in an app, what really disappoints me is the constant crash issue I get when the timer counts down on the 1 after completing a level. Because of this the game is basically unplayable and is keeping me from giving a 5 star Edit:So I use an iPhone 6+ and usually most apps run just fine, after the recent update the game still crashes after the countdown and it’s really upsetting me. I know the developers are trying their best and i’m staying to support throughout all my 10+ years of playing armor games

Fun for a bit
Mon Jun 03 2019 Lucavious

It's a lot of fun at first while learning the game and figuring out how it works to succeed. Once you beat the game once I couldn't find much reason to play again. You can unlock new modifiers for starting the game again, but beating those just unlocks more modifiers for the same game. The base game is really fun and I'd love some reasons to go through it again. Maybe add unlockable zombies, bosses, or play styles after each play through? The modifiers seem to be a way to add today value but I don't feel like they're compelling enough beyond adding arbitrary difficulty.

Great but not much to unlock
Sat Aug 08 2020 [willy]

It’s a great game and lots of fun but once you’ve unlocked most of the stuff like the goals, it gets kinda pointless. There should be more unlockable‘s besides modifiers like a new outfit or customizable outfits like hair or eye color when you hit the million score or something like that to keep the modifiers useful but also keeping you entertained do you play the game.

I’m hooked!

I picked this game up on a whim, and I can’t seem to put it down. I love the quick bursts of gameplay that I can sneak in, though I always end up playing longer than I should... Addictive gameplay, excellent art, and superb design. Definitely check this one out!

Games alright but what is up with the reporter??
Wed Feb 11 2026 MatthewC805

So I bought the game a while ago and when I played it the reporter lady on the news looks all distorted, like her flesh is melting or something. I looked it up and it doesn't seem like this was intentional. And after checking again today this visual bug is still there.
