How it feels

A tense, atmospheric zombie shooter where randomization keeps each co-op or competitive match feeling fresh and unpredictable.

What players say

Players describe Contagion as a janky but atmospheric zombie shooter that shines in co-op. It is often compared to a middle ground between No More Room In Hell and Left 4 Dead 2, with a punishing difficulty and a melee system many ditch for firearms. The inventory is limited to four slots, and the netcode and bot AI frustrate. Multiplayer is mostly dead.
