DoD Strategy

Player

You play the part of an alien invader approaching the planet Earth. Your mission is to level the planet and kill the inhabitants. You are the Captain, pilot, and gunner on your own personal flying saucer. As you approach the planet, you put your ship into auto-pilot and descend to a gun turret on the bottom of the saucer.

'''Gameplay '''

Offensive

As your ship descends and buildings start to come into view, you target the nearest building and fire your weapon. Buildings will vanish and skyscrapers will fall in a satisfying fit of destruction. Accumulate enough damage and you will be rewarded with the full power of your ship's laser cannon. Day of Destruction uses a mesh fracturing mechanic to fracture the environment objects into pieces during destruction. Destroy city defenses first, with the correct counter weapon, or else your spaceship will take on too much damage and crash.

Defensive

City buildings have the ability to fire on your spaceship. Each hit to your ship breaks down the shields. Once the shields are penetrated, damage begins to accrue on your turret. As the turret takes damage, cracks will appear in the surface of the dome. When the dome is breached, you will fall to your death! Defend against ground weapons by destroying the buildings that are firing them. Keep one eye on the sky, fighter-jets are hell bent on taking you out. If a jet gets past your defenses, it will fire missiles on your ship. Missiles do much more damage to your ship than ground-based weapons. To defend against fighter jets, you must target each jet, lock on, and fire your tracking plasma.
