They’ve been tweaked and balanced since Revolution, with area of effects for special abilities being added or increased, for instance.

Combatants are split up into soldiers, scouts, scientists, and heavies, all with different movement speeds, health, and special abilities, like the scientist worm’s knack for healing his chums. Until one of your pals slaughters your beloved army of diminutive soldiers with an airstrike, that is.Īll the lovely new features from Worms Revolution have been retained by its wriggling, younger sibling: classes, water, and physics, most notably. It’s all in the name of good, not-very-wholesome fun. Teams of tiny, pink warriors (now up to eight, once more) fight each other across a 2D, fully destructible and obnoxiously colorful map, using weapons from the mundane - but not too mundane, these are worms after all - like uzis and bazookas, to the completely mental, like exploding sheep and banana bombs. The Worms of a decade ago is much the same as the Worms of today, with newer titles adding a few spins and twists on the classic formula but generally sticking to what made it work all those years ago (other than the terrible 3D Worms titles).

This is unlikely, and certainly embarrassing for you if true, but I’ll refrain from judging you. Maybe you don’t have a clue what Worms is. It would be well deserved, too, as they’ve already succeeded in the challenge of improving on a formula that was arguably perfected over a decade ago. Perhaps the very worms they so admire have risen up and forced them into eternal servitude, and if this is the case, we should all get out our nicest stationary and write a strongly worded letter to these slithering, slimy dictators and demand that they give Team 17 a break. Some dastardly villain has clearly locked the developer up and abandoned them, because less than a year after releasing the excellent Worms Revolution, the invertebrate-obsessed studio has only gone and made Worms Clan Wars, which is not only a proper, fully fledged continuation of the venerable series, but a high point for the franchise.
