Pandemic
Asmodée Digital have announced that Pandemic, its cooperative strategy title, is coming to the Nintendo Switch on August 1st in Europe and North America. It will cost $19.99, and will include the base game and all its expansions. But that’s not all! Some additional content will also be released in September:
- On the Brink – Virulent Strain will spread a new kind of virus into the world.
- On the Brink – Roles & Events will offer players new roles add new events to help save mankind.
- Cooperative multiplayer, up to 5 players: couch cooperative mode
Here’s a trailer and some details:
The digital experience stays true to the core identity of the couch cooperative turn-based strategy game. Developed by Z-Man Games, Pandemic is a mainstream cooperative game that can be enjoyed by a wide audience, even during short game sessions, while rewarding the best decision-makers.
Acting as disease-fighting specialists, players engage in a race against time to contain four epidemics threatening to wipe out different regions on the globe. Players can choose one of the seven specialist roles: contingency planner, dispatcher, medic, scientist, researcher, operations expert, or quarantine specialist. Each role features unique abilities that players will need to combine as efficiently as possible in order to overcome the 5 difficulty levels.
Pandemic differs from a lot of games as it rewards cooperation rather than competition. Players must join their efforts, using their complementary skill sets, in order to discover the cures before it’s too late for mankind. The game can be experienced as a single player, by managing multiple characters, or with friends, using local multiplayer.
