Command and Destroy
2008 real-time strategy video game
Command and Destroy is a real-time strategy video game developed by Cypron Studios and published by Destination Software Inc. and Zoo Digital Publishing for the Nintendo DS.
Gameplay
Command and Destroy follows a number of the genre's conventions established by a more famous real time strategy series, Command and Conquer. The game's plot follows an alien invasion of Earth. The player completes a series of missions to progress through the game's single player mode, and can choose to play as the humans or the invaders. The player uses soldiers to create a base and gather resources to create more troops. Each mission has specific main and secondary goals to achieve.
The player can control units using the Nintendo DS stylus to either select larger groups of troops or to select individual soldiers. The game uses the stylus to place buildings and other control inputs. The Nintendo DS d-pad can be used to move the camera and the game's cursor, but it requires the use of the stylus to control properly. Command and Destroy does not feature battery save, and requires a password system to continue progress.

Why this record matters

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q47473869. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
