About
In Pathogenic, you are the disease. Experience a visceral 2D roguelike twin-stick shooter where you play as a lone parasite fighting a desperate war against the immune system. Your goal is simple: infect and conquer your human host.
To survive, you must adapt. Hunt down enemy cells, rip out their organelles, and graft them onto your own body. Evolve from a simple cell into a complex engine of destruction. Create powerful, game-breaking builds and become the ultimate pathogen.
Loot, graft, and assemble your parasite from dozens of unique organelles. Combine flagella for movement, mitochondria for power, secretors for ranged attacks, and spikes for melee combat. Chain organelle effects and discover powerful synergies to build an unstoppable disease vector.
Battle a diverse roster of enemies, from basic immune cells like macrophages and T cells to rival parasites such as tapeworms or protozoa. Formidable bosses are lurking deep within the host's organs.
Collect plasmid fragments to permanently upgrade your parasite's plasmid tree between runs. Each parasite will have it's own upgrade tree allowing for a range of builds to suit your preferred playstyle.
Navigate the procedurally generated organic landscape of the human body. Travel through distinct biomes like the branching pathways of the lungs, the pulsating chambers of the heart, and the complex neural network of the brain.
Our detailed, colorful world is powered by a soft-body physics simulation, giving every cell, enemy, and projectile a uniquely satisfying organic feel. The combination of hand-crafted design and procedural generation ensures endless variety - each run offers a fresh and challenging gameplay experience.

好玩倒是好玩的,就是太吃运气了,总是给一堆不同的东西,就得不断重复去找那一把比较糊的,才有可能通,爽也就爽这一把,而且到最后很难升满身上的东西,这点非常不好,爽得不够彻底,好不容易爽上一把,但是又不是那么的爽,我觉得这个出现东西的机率应该调整一下,出现身上拥有的东西的机率应该更大一些,否则要是脸黑,一把可能全部东西都是一级,都是有可能的
Доброго!!! Игра, конечно хорошая, но огорчает одно но: почему нет сохранения прогресса?
Ho avuto il piacere di provare Pathogenic, per ora per meno tempo di quanto avrei voluto, ma si capisce fin da subito che siamo di fronte ad un gioco incredibilmente al di sopra della media. Un roguelike con un ambientazione che conosciamo molto poco, ovvero l'interno del nostro corpo, ma il punto focale del gioco non è solo il viaggiare all'interno di mappe che in realtà sono il corpo umano, la vera figata di Pathogenic è che il vostro personaggio è personalizzabile come se fosse una nave da guerra e gli scontri a video sono davvero avvincenti, ed il tutto per una cifra irrisoria, il gioco è pure in italiano. Se tutto quello che vi ho detto non vi ha convinto provo a lasciarvi anche un video con la prima run giocata alla cieca, nella quale si vede tutto il mio stupore e piacere nel giocare questo titolo. https://youtu.be/LMLqdXdQpjA?is=Kh0jHxuDJFyknihj
你们那种几分钟解锁的挑战自己试过没有
挺好玩的游戏,这款肉鸽玩法特别新颖,通过细胞组合来进行升级。 游戏的细菌设定的特有创意,在玩法上也看得出制作组下了很大的功夫,但是武器随机性太高了,有时候开局遇到了不好的只能重开,到后面的关卡就是堆数值,总体来说比较符合我的预期,可以的,希望出动物身体的dlc。
垃圾游戏,转向系统垃圾的和屎一样。准备退款了。
별기대 안하고 샀는데 더 해봐야겠지만 생각보다 재밌음. 맵 클릭으로 원하는 곳에 이동할 수 있어서 속도감도 좋고 뭐든 여기 붙였다 저기 붙였다 해서 조합이 생각보다 다양한 느낌.
I played this game extensively during the demo and i t was a blast then. Also the full install pulls over your progress from the demo. The graphics are just gorgeous. The upgrade system is easy to use yet complex and deep allowing for all manners of play and strategy. The enemies are all unique and unique attacks and purposes. Did I mention the visuals? The speed of the game is superb. The soundtrack is so relaxing. You can't beat the launch price for such a fun game.
Solid game, clean controls and a very reasonable price.
너무 재밌습니다 여러가지 무기를 조합하고 나만의 질병?? 을 만들어서 인간 병원체를 죽여보아요~
