If you like destruction and mayhem, this 2D turn-based artillery video game is made for you. In Worms W.M.D you are presented with an arsenal out of this planet available right now for your Windows, Mac OS or Linux. Team17 Digital Lab put a lot of effort to make this part of worms series even more destructive and satisfying than ever before, with a huge arsenal, many single-player campaign levels, and beautiful, hand-drawn style, graphics.
Gameplay
Challenge yourself going through 30 levels of the single-player campaign, where you can test new pieces of the arsenal such as dodgy phone battery as well as the classic weaponry like a bazooka. In Worms WMD (PC) you can play versus AI, in a local or online multiplayer, where you can face up to five opponents each one having up to eight different worms in their team. Conquer your enemies and make your mark on the pages of history.
Arsenal
Cause mayhem with more than 80 useful weapons and pieces of equipment as well as a number of powerful guns, strategically situated on the maps. You can use them to gain an advantage over your opponent and create even more destruction on the battlefield.
For those, who still crave more, the developers prepared a special feature, which allows players to create more powerful weapons of mass destruction while the opponent’s turn takes place. The ‘crafting’ feature allows the player to collect materials falling from the sky in crates during their turn, and make use of them in the same or opponent’s turn to create special kinds of already offered weapons. The crafted piece can be used in the next turn of the player, as the production of weapons takes time.
Vehicles in Worms!
Additionally, for the first time in the series, the developers gave the worms access to vehicles, which allow them to conquer the arena even faster. Now, you can become the pilot of a helicopter, or a driver of a tank, a Rocket League car or the Mech walker. Each vehicle has its own style and features, for example, the Rocket League car can help the worm to move faster and easier through the map and the tank can cause huge damage to the enemy team.
In this game, you can gain tactical advantage and keep your worms safe by hiding them in the buildings scattered across the maps or set a trap for the opposing worms, who cannot see the interior. The developers also did not forget about the old fans of worms, as this edition uses a well-known classic physics system and the Ninja Rope. All these features are now topped off by the beautiful graphics, made in a hand-drawn style as well as many great visual effects accompanying the explosions. The sound effects and funny voices of the worms make the experience enjoyable for everyone.
Reception
The game met with an overall positive response from the players, who highly praised its 2D graphics and the tremendous amount of new weapons. Additionally, the return to the formula of classic Worms games, while presenting new features keeps the game fresh and makes the PvP gameplay one of the best modes.
