Wormy gameplay

The core gameplay mechanics are focused on a turn-based system in which each player can take one of several actions. They can move their worm characters around the 2-D map, divided into the player and enemy area. The main task of the game is to eliminate the opponent's team, but in the campaign, these tasks vary and might include additional objectives. The player begins each skirmish with a specific amount of health. It can be adjusted by the player in multiplayer battles or is predetermined in the campaign scenarios.

Modes of war

W: A features a variety of gameplay modes. In the classic solo campaign mode, the player must lead their team through a series of battles, carrying out different objectives along the way. In multiplayer mode, the players take on each other locally or online. Multiplayer mode features a high level of customizability, with the player able to adjust health, weapon sets, and other aspects of the gameplay. The player can also create their custom terrain maps by using a terrain editor or importing picture-format maps, which are converted automatically into the game arenas.

Weapons of worm destruction

The Worms series is known for its ridiculous arsenal of weapons. In Armageddon, the player can use a variety of launchers, cannons, bombs, grenades, etc., to lay waste to the enemy ranks. More bizarre types of weapons include sheep, which explode upon contact with the enemy, skunks, deploying poisonous gas. The teams can also carry a special weapon that deals more substantial damage to the opponent. These can be anything from an airstrike made of sheep to Monty Python-inspired Holy Hand Grenade, which eliminates the enemy team to the sound of the angelic chorus.
