About this game
Worms W.M.D is Team17 going back to basics while quietly piling on new stuff. It’s the turn-based artillery series you probably already know, tiny worms lobbing bazookas and grenades at each other across destructible terrain, but this entry brings back a hand-drawn 2D look after the series spent a few games in 3D, and it adds vehicles, buildings, and crafting into the mix. If you grew up with the classic Worms games on PC, this is the one built to scratch that exact itch again.
How it plays
The loop is still the same beautiful chaos: you take turns moving one worm at a time, pick a weapon, aim, fire, and try not to blow yourself up in the process. Worms W.M.D layers new options on top of that formula. Tanks and helicopters let you barrel through the landscape or strafe from above instead of just walking and roping around it. Buildings give you a place to duck for cover, which changes how aggressively you can push forward on a turn. Crafting is the bigger structural addition: crates drop from the sky mid-match, and instead of just grabbing a weapon and using it, you can combine what you find into upgraded gear, which gives you something to do even when it isn’t your turn. On top of all that there’s a big weapon roster mixing returning favorites with new additions, plus mounted guns scattered around the map for extra firepower. There’s a single-player campaign to work through, and multiplayer for when you want to fight actual people instead of the CPU, whether that’s on the couch or online.
Who it’s for
This is for people who like their strategy games slow, mean, and a little bit silly. If you’ve got fond memories of Worms Armageddon or Worms 2 and want that same rhythm with more toys to play with, this delivers. It’s also a genuinely good pick for playing with friends, since a lot of the fun comes from trash-talking each other over voice chat while someone gets flattened by an oversized explosive. If you’re after fast, reflex-driven action or a game you can win purely on mechanical skill, this isn’t that. Worms has always rewarded patience, positioning, and a mean sense of humor more than twitch reactions, and W.M.D is no different.
Is it worth it?
For anyone who already knows they like this kind of turn-based, destroy-everything strategy game, W.M.D is a solid, content-rich pick. It’s the kind of game that holds up because the format barely ages: a good round of Worms plays just as well now as it did a decade ago, and the extra systems here give it more staying power than a straightforward remake would have. It’s exactly the type of game worth grabbing when it’s discounted rather than rushing to buy at full price, since it’s not the sort of experience that depends on being current or “new.” You’ll get just as much out of it picked up on sale next month as you would today.
