From Dust is a modern god game where the player has control over nature. The main objective of the game is to maintain balance in an ever-evolving environment, while protecting and guiding a tribe of people through their journey. Players will be able to shape environments with natural elements such as water, lava, and vegetation in order to protect the tribe from dangers like floods or fires. In addition, players must also use special powers such as terraforming and summoning various creatures to help defend against environmental disasters. By doing so, players can ensure that their tribe survives by developing smarter strategies each time they play.
