Our take on Worms
The copy emphasizes awards, nostalgia, and almost limitless variation, while the described game remains focused on worm teams, configurable turn-based matches, unusual weapons, and a single-player campaign. It gives little detail about the campaign itself.
What is Worms?
Worms is a turn-based strategy game where up to four teams of worms battle across changing landscapes.
Players place teams on a battlefield, use weapons and tools, and aim to leave one team standing. Matches can include falling weapon crates and unusual hazards such as exploding sheep. A wide range of configuration options lets players adjust the style of play, with sessions suited to a few minutes or an entire weekend. The game combines planning with chance and includes an extensive single-player campaign. Its scenarios center on teams of worms, weapon use, changing battlefields, and the last-team-standing objective.
