Welcome to a new kind of city builder. Urban sprawl is enveloping the planet, and as nature, it's your job to fight back! Use your arsenal of natural disasters to grind skyscrapers into dust and beat civilization into submission. Replace towers with trees to restore the environment and generate energy to fuel your attacks. Upgrade your powers to take on greater challenges as cities grow and defend themselves. Conquer dozens of hand-crafted stages across five distinct regions, culminating in epic showdowns against mighty megastructures and iconic real-world cities.

Use the environment to your advantage, cratering the ground to deny your enemy territory or manipulating the seas to trigger massive tsunamis. And that's just the beginning!

And tackle an endless cast of procedurally-generated cities with the Daily Challenge! In this game, you’re not a city builder. You’re a force of nature. An Unnatural Disaster!
