About this game

Elements of Destruction is an action-strategy game for Nintendo DS, developed by Black Lantern Studios and published by THQ. Released on December 19, 2007, it puts players in control of destructive forces unleashed against cities.

Disasters and Abilities

Players can trigger tornadoes, lightning storms, ice storms, earthquakes, and meteor storms to cause widespread damage and chaos. After reaching level three, each disaster gains a special attack. Tornadoes become more powerful, while lightning storms can ignite buildings; players can use the Nintendo DS microphone to fan the flames and spread fires.

Some buildings can immediately stop the selected disaster, adding an obstacle to the destruction. Multiplayer modes support up to three players.
