Destruction mechanics refer to the systems and rules that govern how objects and environments can be damaged or destroyed in video games and simulations. These mechanics can include factors like structural integrity, material properties, and the effects of various forces, such as explosions or impacts. They enhance realism and player engagement by allowing for dynamic interactions with the game world. In many games, destruction mechanics are used to create strategic opportunities, such as breaking down walls for new paths or using environmental hazards to defeat enemies. Titles like Battlefield and Minecraft showcase these mechanics, allowing players to manipulate their surroundings in creative ways.
