About

Big Pharma is an indie strategy and simulation title developed by Twice Circled and published by Positech Games. Released on August 26, 2015, this single-player game lets you run your own pharmaceutical conglomerate. You start with a few rusty reconditioned machines to create cheap generic treatments for minor ailments. As you progress, you can discover new active ingredients and install hi-tech machines to refine world-changing drugs. The gameplay involves converting scientific formulas into cold hard cash by managing engineering and business challenges. The market is dynamically shifting, meaning products that sell well in winter might not perform as well during summer. You must navigate a landscape where rival corporations compete with their own set of competing cures and treatments. Some remedies are more profitable than others, so being totally altruistic may not be the best business plan. The game functions as both a business sim and a logistics puzzle where factory space is expensive. You need to ensure that fancy new agglomerators and centrifuges slot nicely together within your production lines. The main story takes approximately 27 hours to complete, while including extras extends playtime to about 45 hours. For players aiming for completionist goals, the total length reaches around 88 hours. The adaptive AI features opponents with individual personalities who attempt to beat you to market with the best cures. This title stands as the first PC strategy game that lets you make money from curing disease.
