Most games out there revolve around combat and competition, either between multiple players, or between the player(s) and game-controlled enemies (or both). Not in these games, however: they revolve around not taking lives, but saving them. A major disaster, whether natural or man-made, presents a situation at least just as tense and dangerous as combat, but instead of sentient enemies, the players are opposed by a faceless destructive force (like a fire, a disease, or even a flood of mindless creatures), which has the Murphy's Law and the Random Number God on its side. The mechanics for spreading disaster often involve randomly localized outbreaks and cascading spread, where every seemingly minor event can trigger a deadly chain reaction. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })If multiplayer, such games are rarely competitive, as they require all players' cooperation to win, especially since players are usually assigned differently specialized roles. A sub-genre of Simulation Game. Compare Disaster Movie, whose protagonists are just as often the rescuers as the rescued. Examples: |

Pandemic puts the player into the shoes of a small band of emergency workers trying to contain simultaneous outbreaks of four deadly diseases across the globe. The goal is to find cures for all four before a) any of them spread too far, b) a certain total number of outbreaks occurs, c) the players run out of their limited resources. | |

This was almost the entirety of SimCopter—putting out fires, evacuating injured people, dropping tear gas on rioters, and the like—along with a few more mundane civic tasks like dispatching police to crime scenes and helping direct traffic. | |

SimCity involves various random disasters (everything from fires up to Alien Invasion attacks) afflicting the city the player is building and as such forcing the player to assist with fighting the disaster and with the inevitable reconstruction. | |

Blast Corps has the player clearing the way for two leaking nuclear missiles on a transporter heading directly for the disposal site in a straight line so the player has to level buildings and clear other obstacles to avoid the transporter crashing and the missiles exploding. | |

Inverted in Pandemic and its sequels, where the player takes the role of an infectious disease and attempts to spread to every country on earth and infect and kill everyone before humanity can stop you. | |

Plague Inc. inverts this trope in most gamemodes, where the player tries to infect and kill the whole world, but plays it straight in the gamemode called Plague Inc: The Cure, where the player tries to save the world from a disease. | |

The player's goal in Pathologic is to help a quarantined town survive a mysterious disease. Unfortunately, the differences between the three potential player characters' methods and philosophies mean that they are unwilling to work together to cure the Sand Plague, all of the authority figures of the town are using the plague as an opportunity to usurp power from one another, and the town's spiritual leader and the town doctor who previously cured the disease are plague victims One and Two respectively. By the end of the game, the plague has a four figure body count and the three solutions each involve a sacrifice of some kind | |

Flash Point: Fire Rescue sees the players as firefighters trying to save the occupants of a burning house before they suffocate or the house itself collapses. To win, they must save at least seven out of ten trapped people. | |

In the independently developed game named McPixel, you need to prevent large explosions using Insane Troll Logic. It is a Hidden Object Game made with Stylistic Suck to resemble old 8-bit and DOS games and obviously an homage/Affectionate Parody on MacGyver. | |
