Contagion isn't your average Zombie Shooter but instead takes a more realistic and different approach to the popular genre with unique characters, environments, weapons, items, and a built in system that makes every round completely unpredictable with resources, objectives, and paths ever changing.

My friend and I nabbed this game on the 2024 Christmas sale... Purely on the basis that it looked interesting.
Turned out to be one of the most enthralling and addicting Zombie games on the market! And seems to be a passionate labour of love from dedicated indie devs that have been supporting the game even now!
Unlike Left 4 Dead and other contemporary games, this one is a 'realistic' take, where the zombies are slower and die with a simple head shot. This makes for a interesting change of pace whereby the player can be lured into a false sense of security until they are ambushed by a seemingly endless large group. This creates an uneasy sense of tension that is rarely matched in other games especially when the player relies on a flash light in usually dark settings as well as the need to keep an eye on ammo consumption.
The player can also enable an 'infection' mode that makes the player have a chance of becoming a zombie after getting hit even once for an extra challenge (although innoculators will cure the infection if you can find one).
Every now and then the player will be faced with a sporadic 'horde' that will force the player to contemplate how best to 'crowd control' with a large group of zombies and it can be quit stressful!
The best thing about the game is certainly the gun play. There is a variety of guns, each with different ammo types, although some guns are simply better than others and the inventory capacity limit to 4 is definitely a downside that could be better designed.
The soundtrack is awesome, especially the 'Death Train' level track.
The base campaign 'Last Stop' was thoroughly enjoyable, with lots of exploration and varied levels including some tough scripted sequences.
The latest campaign that was recently added, is short but fantastic and very well polished.
'Escape' is the standard game mode that is also conducive of the campaigns, this is a story driven 'objective oriented' mode that is designed to be played single player as well as co op.
'Extraction' is where players must work together to save NPCs in incremental round based hordes. 'Panic' is a harder version of Escape that's recommended for co op, 'Hunted' is PVP where players can exploit being a zombie upon death, 'Flatline' is the 'COD Zombies' style arcade mode and 'Horde' is one endless horde that tasks you with surviving for 25 minutes per map for achievements ;)
The game has the capability of modding and there are some custom campaigns in the workshop.
All in all my friend and I had a blast and would thoroughly recommend this game for a great and unique zombie shooter that plays into a more 'realistic' niche made by excellent indie devs who clearly have a passion for what they do!
