    The introduction of crafting weapons between rounds adds to the complexity of the strategy in a good way – the game can’t be picked up as instantly as games such as Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, but with time and dedication, you’ll find a seriously rewarding tactical battle game. Some niggling factors such as the awkwardness of moving your character around, the fact that your movement and weapon’s aim are frustratingly locked to the same control stick, and the unfortunate lack of ability to play online with friends prevent the game from being the amazing experience it could have been, though. If you love the Worms franchise or games of the genre you’ll likely have a lot of fun by grabbing a copy of this game, just bear these little things in mind as you make your decision.

    Sadly, there’s one control scheme for Worms WMD on the Switch does get a bit cumbersome, though really this isn’t the fault of the developers. Moving the camera if they’re using the Joy-Cons turned sideways requires players to adopt a rather interesting position with their hands, positioning one finger behind the controller as it were. It’s probably more convenient to have the game as a hot-seat experience if you’re running low on controllers.

The other reviews must be fake because this game feels like it is half finished. Great concept, nice art, but the physics are sloppy and the interface is poorly designed, not at all intuitive. Could have been a great game with a few tweaks, but completely unplayable in its current form. Very disappointed in this title.… Full Review »

It has an awesome art-style and a really good and amusing voice acting. Game play is really fun and has some depth to it for all the strategy lovers like myself. One complaint i have is how small the community is sometimes i cant find nobody to play with online even though its a new game. Good thing it has a really good single player and local multiplayer mode.… Full Review »
