Worms W.M.D

I mean…it’s Worms. If you feel like paying full price for this latest entry because you happen to have a filthy love for watching the little fellas massacre each other then you’re sorted. If you’re wondering if you should stick to any of the other 20-odd Worms games that you already own, then Worms W.M.D isn’t going to change your mind easily.

The vehicles radically change the gameplay but are in keeping with the outrageous power and unpredictability of Worms combat.

While this addition includes vehicles and crafting elements, Worms W.M.D is near identical to the same twenty-one-year-old formula that Team 17 have been chugging out since the 90s. I was expecting more changes but they’re on the right track.

Worms W.M.D. is a good party game, for when you have friends over and you want a game to play together from the couch.

Team 17 have done a good job of breathing a bit of new life into the franchise with Worms WMD and while it isn’t perfect, it’s a good way to reignite some old friendly rivalries with a pal or two.

The same old Worms gameplay you’ve seen many times before, with bolder animations, new weapons and added vehicles.

A step in the right direction for the franchise. A good mixture of classical gameplay and clever innovations. On the down side, the frame rate is awfully inconsistent and we miss some customizing options.

A worthy continuation of the Worms franchise, a nice return to form after deviating to 3D for a few years. Worms W.M.D gets everything right from a mechanical standpoint, but we can't help but feel a few of the design choices were unnecessary. The big new additions are hit and miss, but in the middle of all the fluff there's a solid, very playable game - especially if you're into couch co-op/multiplayer.
