About Big Pharma
Big Pharma is a pharmaceutical business and logistics game in which you run a company that develops and sells treatments. You can use your power to improve lives and cure the sick, but some remedies are more profitable than others, and illness can be good for business.
Develop treatments
Starting with a few rusty, reconditioned machines, you make inexpensive generic treatments for minor ailments. You can discover active ingredients and use advanced machines to refine them into new drugs.
Run your company
Designing formulas is only part of the task: you also need to turn them into profit by managing factory space, arranging machines and planning production. Machines such as agglomerators and centrifuges may not fit together easily, making factory layout a logistics puzzle as well as a business decision.
Rival corporations compete with their own cures and treatments. The marketplace shifts over time, too, so a cold and flu medicine that sold well last winter may be less popular in summer.
Game modes and challenges
Big Pharma includes 35 challenges across 7 scenarios, as well as Custom game mode and Freebuild mode. It also supports modding.
