Pandemic Express, the survival shooter where you try to outrun a player-controlled swarm of infected, is going free to play!
Going Free To Play in a nutshell:
- Pandemic Express is now free
- You earn stars for playing matches
- You can spend these stars on costumes, emojis, and in-game music
- If you don’t have enough time to earn stars, you can simply buy them
- All original buyers of the game are getting 2,000 stars to buy whatever you want -- thank you so much for being with us from the start!
We believe this is the most fair and transparent way to do free to play. Tell us what you think in the comments!
Free Music For Everyone Who Bought The Game!
To celebrate going Free To Play, we are giving everyone who originally bought the game all in-game music tracks!
In-game music is the jukebox you carry around in the beginning of the match. By choosing your own music, you set the theme for the whole match. Unless you get eaten by zombies of course.
About Pandemic Express:
Pandemic Express is a zombie escape game. You play as a human, but when you die, the match isn’t over for you — you come back as a zombie to hunt down the rest of the humans.
Your goal as a human is to loot up and get on a train, then ride on that train out of the zombies’ lair to safety, while the zombies attack you from all the directions, pulling the humans one by one away from the train.
You won’t survive alone, so it’s best to stay in small groups. Ideal scenario — you and your mates get into a van and drive it to a weapon drop location to get the best guns. Then, once you’re battle-ready, get on that train and defend it.
Guns have two purposes — defense and utility/parkour. You can bounce off any surface using your guns — just walk up to a wall and fire a burst at the right angle — and you’ll get up that wall, all the way to the roof. There are also double jumps and bounce pads — all of this combined allows an experienced player to traverse the map like a ninja, hopping from a rooftop to a tree crown to another rooftop.
After you die, you get to choose one of the three zombie classes. Each has a unique flavor — one allows you to swallow humans and spit them out away from the train, another one — to mimic humans, blending in with them to deal a devastating blow.
Easy to Learn, Hard to Master
The asymmetrical PvP provides fun for players of all skill levels — if you can’t fend off a bunch of zombies on your own yet, you can have fun chasing veteran survivors as a zombie and get rewarded for it.
Movement is one of the most crucial skills in Pandemic Express — learning how to bunnyhop and gun-jump efficiently can make all the difference in a match.
