Worms W.M.D. Review: A Decisive Victory for Fans of the Series

The latest installment in Team17's beloved Worms series, Worms W.M.D., brings back fond memories of the classic artillery duels that have captivated gamers for over two decades. With a graphical overhaul, new features, and a slew of creative items to combatants, this game is poised to please both old fans and newcomers alike.

As you navigate through the campaign, which doubles as a tutorial, you'll get acquainted with worm movement and tool functionality. The navigation of your teammates may take some getting used to, but the occasional button blunder can lead to some comedic relief. Speaking of which, the game's humor still shines bright, especially when a local rival's revenge plan inadvertently kills most of their own team.

Players can choose from two types of objectives: killing all enemies or protecting friendlies. The former offers a variety of pursuits for individualists, including sub-quests that challenge gamers to take no damage or complete a match with their entire team sheltered inside a structure. Hardcore fans will appreciate the nods to other games like Broforce, Goat Simulator, and Team17's own The Escapists.

The game's menu system is intuitive, allowing players to quickly jump into single-player campaign, multiplayer modes, or options. With a purchase, gamers gain access to a vast amount of content that should keep matches feeling fresh for months. And with the addition of vehicles and crafting, the worms have the upper hand in this battle against dormancy.

Worms W.M.D. is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, bringing back the excitement and competition that made the series so beloved. Despite being over twenty-one years since the first Worms game was released, Team17 has managed to breathe new life into the series without sacrificing what makes it great.

Overall, Worms W.M.D. is a decisive victory for fans of the series, offering a fresh and exciting experience that's sure to please even the most hardcore gamers.
