About this game
In Elements of Destruction the player can unleash the most volatile forces on Earth such as tornadoes, lightning storms, ice storms, earthquakes and meteor storms, wreaking havoc on unsuspecting cities and causing massive amounts of damage and creating complete and utter chaos.
The story tells of a TV weatherman by the name of Marty Storm who is fired from his job for reporting the truth about bad weather conditions instead of lying about good weather conditions in which the station's producer hopes will result in better ratings.

Afterwards he vows revenge as his former co-workers ridicule him, unknown to them however, Marty Storm is also a part-time mad scientist that has created a device that can create disasters at will.
With this device, Storm goes on a quest to bring the city and his former co-workers to their knees.
The gameplay is divided into three weeks (levels) which have seven days, each with their own set of goals.
Some consist of causing a set amount of damage, others consist of destroying a certain percentage of building while others consist of destroying certain buildings.
These objectives must be done within a certain time limit.
To conjure these storms a menu is on the right side of the bottom screen which has a list of disasters available (some are only available on certain days).
After selecting their disaster they use the stylus pen to create a path of destruction for the tornadoes and storms or pick a certain point for either the earthquake or meteors.
For the storms and tornadoes, players can click onto them with the stylus and continue to change their path until the run out.
Additionally, the player must have a certain amount of energy to be able to select them which regenerates over time or can be obtained by destroying buildings.
To help the player, a mini-map is also located at the top of the screen which shows locations of buildings, which types of buildings they are and the buildings health status.
Each storm also has their own special at
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Elements of Destruction for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Elements of Destruction to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2007.
