Eurogamer writes: "A fast-paced action-strategy game, Elements of Destruction's secret weapon is its glorious premise. You are a mad scientist, wreaking revenge on those that done you wrong using your fiendish machines that create not-so-natural disasters. Earthquakes, lightning storms and tornadoes are all at your disposal, and the prospect of being able to let rip with some fire and fury makes the game a very tempting proposition." 6/10
