Probably one of the best games worth gifting too other people for the 4 pack deal. Played it when it came out.. Lost my old account and rebought it aswell as give out 4 individual copies of the game.. One of the best Zombie Shooters on PC with a survival mission based aspect.. It has its own campaign built into the game / maps and it is amazing. i love it.. Come play with me... I could probably send u a copy if the devs help me gift it at 3-4$ us i could gift another 20 people or so. That worth it i would invest into keeping the game alive.. I love you devs

Probably one of the hardest zombie games I've ever played. It is a lot like No More Room In Hell, but this game is better. Imagine if NMRIH had good combat, and wasn't hell bent on making sure you don't have a good time. The only thing I can compare the gameplay loop to is Payday.

I bought this game like 10 years ago and forgot about it. I reinstalled it and its insane how different it is and how longterm the support apparently has been. I'm actually enjoying it so I have to say - good stuff man. Its nice to swap between this and NMRIH depending on the zombie vibes i'm huntin' for so thanks!

Game is lots of fun! Really brought me back to the height of the zombie mania of my youth. If you like old source games and miss the zombie vibes, this is a good game for the price with all its modes.

Honestly I think people are hating a bit too much on Contagion. I played it first back in 2015, I enjoyed it then and still do. It's a hardcore shooter with hardcore elements, with most of the game being centered around its multiplayer experience, not the campaign. The campaign isn't perfect though. Seems like the biggest problem Contagion has these days is its low player count, which is really unfortunate. I've been cracking at Contagion for a few hours for a video project I'm doing on YouTube and did enjoy it, for its discounted price I think its an allright deal if there are enough players on. Its also worth keeping in mind there is currently a single developer working on this but don't expect a perfect game. Perhaps in the long run a Free Weekend or a F2P project is worth donig for Contagion.
