Waste of money and they didnt give me anything for paying

I bought this game by paying money when it was first released.

It was a very fun game, unfortunately it is now dead game even though it turned into f2p.

I would love to see it revived and play again one day.

The ghost of this game keeps taunting me with the second-highest playtime in my library, which should speak to how fun it was before it got abandoned, mostly thanks to the impressively exciting movement. Everyone gets a powerful slide and double jumps, and every gun can be used to "rocket jump", it's just a joy. But honestly, even not accounting for the game currently being a rotting corpse, it's got a major design flaw: playing as a rotting corpse is not nearly as fun. While the humans are busy doing their best bullet-fueled helicopter impression (or using actual helicopters), you're stuck with limited movement and the weirdest set of abilities designed by man:
The default zombie gets a grab, which is the most useful zombie ability, but is also incredibly annoying to fight. One of those boiz grabs you, get ready to be thrown in the nearest river or cramped corner, where you'll be trapped while the zombies surround you like piranhas and keep throwing you further.
The exploding zombie does pitiful damage, relying on humans killing it to set off an explosion. I swear, this one just exists to be shot by newer players and take whoever happens to be standing nearby with it. I don't blame the newbies for this, but I would also not recommend designing something with the explicit purpose of making veterans hate new players for being a detriment, you know?
The mimic is... a zombie that exists. It acts as the TF2's spy, fooling humans into thinking it's one of them, but you don't really get anything for successfully infiltrating enemy ranks. You either get one low-damage melee hit in before immediately getting pelted to shreds, or plant a bomb in a choke before humans arrive, which will get shot from a distance by any player with functioning eyes. At least you can goof around with it by constantly dying and respawning, dropping a gun on every death to fill the map with pickups.
Just to be clear, this isn't about the zombies being "overpowered", or "underpowered", it's a case of their playstyles being way less fun and expressive than the humans'. As a human, you'll constantly be improving at using your guns for both shooting and locomotion. As a zombie, you'll improve by getting better at abusing the "chuck 'em in the river" tactic, which just isn't fun for everyone.
Oh, but the team voice chat lets the entire zombie team shout "ONE OF US" in unison to greet someone who's just been converted, so 11/10, perfect game

As someone who has played this game before it was FREE-TO-PLAY, this was a $10 well spent. I got to make so many fun memories for the last two years, and surprisingly this game is NOT impossible to play. The player-base is still fairly active, and there's newer players on the leader-board.

A few tips I would like to pass out...

When in a lobby with five or more players,

ALWAYS press enter on your keyboard and type !vote start
If the vote has already started, and you don't want to wait 30 minutes for 7 players to show up, then
press enter, and type !yes. (Exclamation mark, yes)

I would also suggest sending friend requests to others that want to play, that way you can coordinate the best time to join.
Usually, there's most players during the weekend, so try hopping on during that time.
IF there isn't anyone, then invite your friends to play!

This game is SO visually appealing and immense amounts of fun! I paid for the game when it came out and played it a bit but didn't have much time to actually get into it. Now that I've come back to it the player base is quite low but if you join the discord and find a game I swear its some of the best gameplay I've ever experienced.

10/10 would get swarmed again

You absolute fuctards.

Instead of listening to the community and fixing the crap people have pointed out, you go FREE TO PLAY to try and draw in more of a playerbase, giving a huge SLAP in the face to anyone who bought the game and supported you.

F*ck you. I am never playing this game again.

mannn this game had so much potiential, the rounds weren't too short yet not unbearabaly long and it was an original idea too. back in its prime i would recommend all my friends to get it but the dev gave up its free now but not worth the download you wont find a server :/

Pandemic is fun and the mechanics are nice and easy to grasp. the game has had some ups and downs with popularity but it is still playable. i just want to see some more new faces around, even though having a small community is nice. get it, or don't, i just wanted to try and bring this game back. it's your decision.

I typically don't write reviews since they usually match (in my opinion) the quality of the game, but with recent reviews being "Mostly Negative", I had to dissent. This game is in no way, and is quite far from perfect, but I think the negative connotation being built may throw future players off. At first, the game will be frustrating at times where you're outnumbered or you just aren't quite as fast as you thought, but all of this eventually becomes easier with learning movement. I was one of the people who had to pay $20 for the game, and I will tell you now, even with "stars", it was not worth it, but now that it's free to play, I think it's more in its league. The biggest issues with the game is the lack of tutorial and ranking system, tutorial for newer players, ranking system for fairer games, but a ranking system cannot be achieved with so little players, and this is why I wrote a review. This game has potential (said every review here), but the negative reviews here are repelling possible players, and thus pushing everyone further from updates, updates like a new ranking system. Do I think this game is great? Hell no, but it deserves a little better than what it's receiving. Currently a 3.5/5 stars from me.

This is a great concept that was mismanaged into the ground. The game itself is great, but for some reason, the developers wanted to make the game as inaccessible as possible to as large a share of their player base as possible. There is an extremely high skill level bar, and experts who have mastered the game spend their days cheating around the map with god-like speed and invulnerability, while the vast majority of the userbase feels cheated for being relegated to the role of cannon fodder, mere NPC's for the hardcore fans. Unfortunately, this product model pissed off the vast majority of the plebian class, who stopped playing and the player base evaporated and moved on. They've tried to breathe new life into it by making it free to play, but that will be just a tiny boost for a very short period of time until this dead game breathes its last. Perhaps if the developers had spent even a second listening to their player base instead of using their moderators to delete and silence any mention of this massive, massive problem, they could have avoided this situation. But they didn't. I'm led to believe that this was all a scam, frankly. A half-assed, wildly unfinished game with minimal resources devoted to development that would get a whole bunch of investment, then abandon the project with all seriousness when the money ran out. The pity is that there was actually a good core concept there, if only the team was capable of making it.

Could have been great, now it's not worth the time. Go spend your time on better games, this one is just a shame and a real black eye for TinyBuild.

Pandemic Express is a zombie survival game.

You start in a sewer with a maximum of 20 people, and one of them is a zombie.
In order to make a zombie army you'll have to kill the humans.
As a human, your goal is to survive and get on a train to escape.
This is easier said than done since the zombies keep re-spawning close to you until the game ends.

The game looks unique and the concept is great, however, like most of the games in this genre it's dead already.
The only people I came across are a handful that have love for the game, the community, and desperately want this game to succeed.
Meanwhile, they'll wait at least 30 minutes for a game to start, the game is obviously dead but they'll refuse to admit it!

The only thing I personally really enjoyed was the music.
In game there is a radio that keeps playing Camille Saint-Saëns - Danse Macabre which is a classical masterpiece dear to my heart.
But even this couldn't hold me back from asking a refund, Sorry!

I spent about 2 weeks watching videos on this game and seeing how fun and different it is compared to anything else out there in the gaming market. So eventually I bought it on sale for $10 and thought I'd try it out. I was really excited and hopped straight into multiplayer just to wait 25 mins to not even have a full lobby. After that match was over I looked up Pandemic Express player count and only about 30 people were playing it. I felt very disappointed realizing the game is beyond dead. It has such unique game mechanics and is far from any ordinary "zombie escape" game. I'm writing this cause I see it's on sale again. I'd say 100% try it to experience such unique gameplay and to appreciate what the devs are trying to do here. Just know you're gonna spend 50% of your time in the lobby waiting for other players to join. Try to play under the 2 hours so you can potentially refund it if that's what you're planning on doing. I'd really love to see the day when this game rises up in popularity and the matchmaking improves but sadly I just don't see that happening. I hope I'm wrong. I give the game at it's current state a 9/10 (besides it being pretty much dead) I'd like to end this review by saying I like pie. That is all. Cheers!

Satisfying but bittersweet.

Pros
• Movement like no other.
It’s as if a game developer was placed on an empty canvas, given the commands to move their character to do whatever they want: flying, sliding, going beneath the ground, going a million miles per hour by amping their movement speed to light speed. You have a lot of control in the movement, essentially going anywhere, even touching the skies, if you are skilled enough. You can go so fast that you can walk on water. This game’s movement is its strongest point because you are limitless and, it feels very satisfying to do because you worked on it, know the area and certain sweet spots and, cannot be stopped for as long as you hold the momentum. This applies to both sides.

• Insane moments.
Imagine being on one of those pro teams that play for a competitive sport, with millions at their seat, behind you, watching you. It is so satisfying to be the last human because you have 10+/20+ zombies trying to catch you while you zip around the train. When you win as the last human, you have many calling you a legend. When you lose as the last human, you have many patting your back as they just witnessed a legend, in the making. This also applies when you are against a single/multiple skilled zombie player(s) since they know what to do, they know what you’re aiming for and, they can do it way faster than you. When up against a human gun hopping, a zombie player can utilize the respawn system to predict where the human is going.

Neutral
• Creativity.
You can do whatever you want in this game, as long as you can will it: launch yourself a million feet above the air by placing three mimic mines near each other, being on top of it and then respawning by holding ‘r’ ; surfing the seas by shooting at it while on top of the water ; turn a game around by using a single furniture. The creativity is limitless. Some other ideas are very useful and utilized, while many has no reward.

• Learning Curve.
The game is fun but only fun when you know what you’re doing. Doing the tutorial will guide you but, it won’t put you in the same ranks as players who’ve mastered the movement. The main problem is that you can verse a human person so skilled that you can’t ever touch them the entire game despite them having one goal in mind pushing the train and being right next to them. Going against a skilled zombie player is very infuriating because you cannot escape them, they will keep launching you back further and further away from the objective. However, it doesn’t take long to master the game but keeping your cool, while learning, is very difficult.

• Tactics.
The game is very simple, humans have a single main objective: pushing the train. Zombies have a single main objective: killing all the humans. To do those main objectives, you can do them at your own pace. You can push the train by yourself by using the lowest tiered weapon the white colored / one stars / black coated weapons and win the game or, you can get the weapon crate, that only spawns one every match in a designed area and get the best weapons in the game, including a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG). If you’re a zombie, you could kill everyone one by one or delay the humans by throwing them all far away from the train. Problem is that most of the tactics require team cooperation and are not as effective when doing it by yourself. Most of the tactics are also depended on the number of players there are. Pushing the train by yourself with low tiered weapons wouldn’t be as effective if there was 20+ players in the match.

• Balanced at Particular Situations.
The game is very balanced, if everyone was in the same level. If you put in 10 zombie players that are playing the game for the first time and make them chase a single skilled human player, the zombies will not stand a chance. Put 2 skilled zombie players against 10 human beginner players and the 10 humans will get wiped out. If everyone was a beginner, it’ll be balanced; if everyone was a pro, it’ll be balanced. Kill the skilled players and the other side has a very low chance of winning. There are four different spawns, all of them have unique layouts that make the gameplay either easy or difficult for humans/zombies. However, all of the areas have a (couple) comeback point where either side can take a massive lead.

Cons
• Bugs/crashes.
There are a couple noticeable and irritating bugs, for example sometimes when someone leaves: every character model is glitched and looks like the leftovers of a paper that was inserted inside a paper shredder. This means that your whole screen becomes unseeable. Another bug is when you end the game while being underwater, your audio becomes bugged and feels like you are actually underwater. To fix this bug, just go under a water source and it’ll fix itself. However, this needs to be done every time you end the game while being underwater. When a zombie throws you at an inconvenient area, there’s a chance of being glitched inside an object and you can never get out unless the zombie catches you through the wall. The crashes in this game are unbearable and happens frequently. You are lucky and should gamble at a casino, if you can complete 5 matches without crashing. The problem is that none of these issues and various bugs have been fixed yet and has been (at the time of writing this) 4 months, untouched. Whenever the developers release a new patch: more, some game breaking, bugs pop up.

• Weapons.
All tiers of weapons feel the same. The lowest tier shotgun has the same knockback, damage, reload speed, and gun hopping capabilities as the highest tier shotgun. The only difference between all of the them is that the higher the tier, the more ammo it has. Instead of having 26 different guns to choose from, you only have 6 weapons. The dot crosshairs (square, at times, for shotgun) is very misleading at times. Sometimes it hits, sometimes it doesn’t. You could be shooting at a zombie player with your crosshair at their chest and it won’t hit. You could have the square box crosshair from a shotgun, perfectly aligned with the zombie’s body and it won’t kill them in one hit, despite being able to, or knockback them at all.

• Unoptimized.
The game is very unoptimized and has random optimization issues. It’s a 50/50, when you download the game for the first time, if your game is stuck with having good frames per second (FPS) or bad FPS. It’s locked, it doesn’t matter if you have the best graphics card in the world: you could still get locked with bad FPS. The game also has moments where it’ll lag the game, dropping you to very poor frames; for a couple, it happens either none or rarely, while many experiences it every match for a couple seconds/minutes. You cannot change your controls/button mapping when in a game, only when you are in the main menu. The button mapping does not have a professional and good look, it’s not confusing to understand it though. For example, a couple of the name of the mappings: “moveleft” to move to the left; “zmb_zoom” to zoom in with a weapon (that has a scope); “toogle_second_slot” to change to your second weapon slot.

Great game, not regretting a single second of playing it., only downside small playerbase.
So buy it now and join us, we need fresh meat, if you need help ask on the Discord server!

This game is one of my favorites of all time, but until the developers create a mechanic to stop people from leaving after they've died & become zombies, I can't recommend this game. I've been in situations where I was the first to turn and I had converted 5-6 people personally, looking on the map and only seeing 2 other zombie team mates, the times where this doesn't happen are the exception, something needs to be done asap.

DISCLAIMER to new Players 22/01/2020 concerning the F2P:
You can ignore the old negative reviews about gameplay changes completely as you now get the game "as is" and for free. The reasons why the buyers liked or disliked it are no more applyable, as you have never seen (will never seen ) the game as it was before. So consider only reviews made AFTER it went free. From this point of view the game IS GETTING GOOD just right now. I dont delete this review just to show how game can change from good, to worse and become better again after some time.

The Review for EA:
Seen everything, done everything. In the current state there is nothing more to do. Game lasts for 6-10 min. Waiting time in the lobby: 3,5 min. I really like the toxic community )), but they dont cooperate ingame, except as zombies. Playing zombie is not fun at the beginning when there are more guns than zombies. Both humans and zombies are really hard to master, leading to strong frustration between players, making survival or death relatively random. Ring of death around the train closes too fast, and train drives too fast too, looting becomes actually impossible, cause you are left behind. Noone wants to play as zombie and 40 % ragequit before the game ends, because it feels random, if you survive the zombies following you or die (Weapon damage is dependent on weapon color-class [logical] and amount of infected zombies ingame [irrational] making any plans concerning survival impossible). Developers dont seem to react to AI "horde mode" wish of ALL players... will perhaps change my opinion after some (much!) updates of the game.
After last update: waiting time only 1.5 min. And now you are Zombie 90 % of the game time. Human champion level players now dont even drive the train, but just camp and use us zombies for levelling up. Something gone wrong. Last time people complained, that humans directly hunted zombies, but now it is... just strange.
07.07.19
I dont recognize the game any more: all the flow is gone. At the beginning there were only 2 classes: Phantom and Bomber. Bombers were overpowered, and it was perfectly OK. Even mimics were still ok, as not OP but a trust problem. They were recognizable through lost ability to speak to humans. The game was MEANT for humans to cooperate all the time. Humans never cooped, but convinced developers to nerf zombies, to split them in more classes, to remove abilities, remove bomber's real strength. Now the game just became to complex for me to kill as zombie or survive as human. New zombie spawn system made recoil-climbing no more useful. Also now there is too much vegetation covering zombies, who themself still see humans....

At first glance it may seem that Pandemic Express is your cookie cutter zombie game, but it is far from that.
I originally bought the game because of the unique art-style but really fell in love with the movement you can achieve in this game.

~PROS
Unique skill movement that allows you to travel upwards of 100m in a second.
Games take a few seconds to find
Despite only having one mode, every game feels slightly unique with how the game unfolds
Gorgeous art-style
Active developments
Human to zombie win ratio is not 50/50 which is believe is a good thing, really making you work hard for your human wins

~CONS
Lower tier weapons are rather useless and you really need to get airdrop weapons to stand a chance
Bomber zombies are over-tuned and result in almost every human death.
You're stuck in the spawn with the first zombie and it can snowball rather quickly

It is Early Access, so it is far from 'perfect' but the developers do seem to care about the continuous improvement of the game and I cannot wait to see what it has installed for the future.

With the devs having just added co-op into the game, i can officially recommend it. Granted, the game isn't finished but even so I still feel its worth the price!

8/10 game for the following reasons:

PROS:
-Very fun, to be both human and zombie.
-zombie classes very fun to use.
-community isnt toxic (yet).
-game pace is good.

CONS:
Zombies are OP. I have played many hours and probably well over 50 individual games by now and *not once* have the humans won. This is for the following reasons:
-bomber zombies are OP af. the range on those things is ridiculous. they will one shot everyone within a 10m range on that train. even if you manage to collectively shoot them away ( a loooooooooong ass way away) they will still do damage to you so that one more hit will kill you.#
-Zombies in general have shit tonnes of health, you can pump a full clip of the highest tier weapons into their asses and they will not go down.
-Zombies are fast as fuck. they will catch you, end of.
-The barrels at the zombies spawn points are waaaay to overpowered. there's 6 of them and they respawn quickly so you just get zombies chucking these things at the train over and over again in a neverending onslaught throwing everyone off the train, making it impossible to stay as a group and keep the train moving, let alone keep the bombers off everyone. In my opinion, I would greatly nerf these barrels, and dont make them respawn. Their range is ridiculous too, you could be 10 m from a barrel and it will still fling you 200m away from the train.
-weapons do not do enough damage (as stated before).
-humans cant swim pretty much at all. (they can, but super slow and zombies are like frickin sharks, they *will* catch you and you can't shoot them back).
-humans can't jump out of the water sometimes if its a river bank for example, you just get stuck in a die for the point above's reasons.
-parts of the UI obscure the screen. Yes, make notifications noticeable by making them huge but don't put them right in front of the crosshair, how are we meant to see zombies when all we can see is "crate opening" or "all aboard".

CONCLUSION:
Overall a very fun game. 10/10 will play again, but don't expect to *ever* win as a human in the games current state. must admit tho, being a phantom is very fun.

It's really "meh" and definitely feels like a wacky mod rather than a standalone.

You start in a locked with 6(ish) other people. At a minimum, 2 will be spamming the in-game voice commands and the other 2 will be mimicking that spam with their real person voice. There will probably be a twitch streamer trying their hardest to be funny to their 2 viewers. The developers seem to know this kind of stuff and made it incredibly easy to mute everybody. After 5-10 minutes of waiting, the game will have 15 or so people to play with (max is 30) and a 3 minute timer begins. After those 3 minutes, one person in that room becomes a zombie and tries to infect the others by killing them. This is when the survivors have to run out and loot battle-royale style to get some gear then head to the train to defend it, and where the gameplay loop is. Get on the train, defend train from player-controlled zombies, train stops at checkpoints for you to heal and get ammo, then eventually the train escapes. At its core, it just doesn't feel good.

Health is displayed Legend of Zelda style with hearts, 3 to be precise. Survivors can take 3 hits, one goes away every time you're hit, that makes sense. Zombies can get shot a lot, and then the 3 hearts start flashing? Why not just a health bar?

Shooting mechanics are weird. Shooting has knockback, and a LOT of it. In fact, everything has insane amounts of knockback. An unarmed punch will send another player 5 feet into the air. There's so much that if you look at the ground and shoot with any gun, you will jump high into the air. Knocking back zombies seems to be the main point of the weapons and finally killing them is more like an added bonus; it takes a lot. I can see why that'd add its own unique thing, but the knockback feels too weird for me to like. Friendly fire doesn't do damage but it will knock you around.

Guns are simple. There are several different types: a revolver, SMG, shotgun, rifle, automatic rifle, some others I think? They have a basic rarity system from 1-3 stars and different colors. I guess that changes damage and I think magazine capacity. Nothing very flashy or exciting but nothing really expected either.

Nothing is explained in the game, and the "warm-up" mode is just the game with no one else in it from what I can tell.

The train itself is a headache. It's very easy to get knocked off since you have to be on TOP on the train and the aforementioned knockback. Despite there being a double jump in the game, I still have to run to the rear of the train where it's lower to get back on. If there's a ladder or something, everyone I was playing with missed it.

Zombie play is actually not bad. The bullet knockbacks are annoying, but you can take enough hits and strafe enough where one zombie can get a kill pretty easy. Zombie also get a throw, where they can throw survivors pretty far distances. This is great for throwing people off the train or into your other zombie friends, but again it just feels weird to both throw someone and be thrown. There are two unique zombies currently, one that explodes when it dies, and one that can turn invisible. Most people use the exploding one since it'll kill instantly and the blast wave will knock people all around. You unlock the special classes by playing as zombies for a while until your "special" charges, then when you respawn you pick one of the two. It feels like the current game may favor zombies a bit.

Movement as a whole doesn't feel good at all. it feels kind of like an air hockey puck where you're very hover-y and any hit sends you flying all over the place. It's all very clunky and doesn't feel right. It's possible to get knocked high enough in the air for ten seconds of air time, and it's more annoying then cool since it happens so frequently. Zombies will be waiting for you when you land since moving in midair is either sluggish or not actually a thing, haven't really figured that out.

Overall the main gameplay just doesn't feel very good, ignoring everything that's just because "early-access". If you like wild, bounce-all-over-the-place physics you'll probably enjoy it, it's kind of fun in its own way but I found it more annoying than anything. The main mechanics of the game just didn't work for me, despite how fun the concept sounded. I refunded the game.
