Worms W.M.D

Worms W.M.D‘s successful outing marks the series’ long overdue return to relevance. The detailed 2D graphics look great, run very smoothly and the new mechanics all slot in seamlessly alongside the 90s core of the game. This is now the definitive edition of Worms to buy – there is a lot to enjoy it’s one of the best in-person social multiplayer games available.

I cannot recommend this game enough if you are a fan of slow-moving tactics genres. If you aren't, well, I would still give this a try if you have some cash burning in your pocket. It really is just that much fun!

Local play lets you take your game to a party, and the ability to take turns with the controller means you can play with just the hardware that came with the Switch. Combined with improvements to the classic formula, the gameplay of Worms WMD makes it a good entry point for those new to the series as well.

It's Worms, and Team 17 has done a good job in restraining itself this time around so that the only gimmicks within the game genuinely add to it. What's important to note here is that the Nintendo Switch is absolutely perfect for Worms, and that fact alone makes this the best entry in the series in years.

Worms W.M.D. is a game worthy of the Worms series and a very welcome addition to the Nintendo Switch library. Not only it features the classic gameplay of the Worms series and an abundant amount of content but it also offers its players high visual standards and plenty of customization options. A sign that the series is alive and well.

Worms WMD is resetting the series and delivers in all the important areas while adding some minor improvements. If you like Worms and specifically want a portable version of it, this a fun investment of your time. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it's probably the best version of the game currently available.

In the grand scheme of things, Worms W.M.D feels like a return to form for the franchise. With sharp visuals and addicting 2D gameplay, it hits all the notes I want. Sure, the camera could have been more modernized, but its shortcomings are worth dealing with. The hours flew by in not only the single-player levels, but also the constant stream of multiplayer matches. If you are searching for a strategic timesink, this game can get you quite far.

With a solid solo campaign and a fun multiplayer, Worms WMD will make you spend great moments.

A good porting of a fun and traditional game, great for who loves the Nintendo Switch philosophy.

This is one of the best multiplayergames for Switch. Though it really is Worms as we know it, Team17 does freshen up the known formula with a few fun additions.

Worms W.M.D. isn't the most original entry in the series. Rather, it's a modernised version of the earlier games.

Quotation forthcoming.

Worms W.M.D comes to Nintendo Switch, making it portable and able to adapt to our daily lives. Besides, it has new content compared to the previous versions of this game.

Worms W.M.D. still as fun as it was in other systems, but adds this "mobile" style thanks to the portable options of Nintendo Switch. A great option to play with our friends, with interesting new features.

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.
