  • “The relatively simple gameplay is overflowing with finesse and strategy, the presentation is fantastic, and offline or on, Worms is just incredibly fun.”
    8/10 · GameSpot
  • “Worms is a special case. The brightly colored, arcadey artillery shooter puts players in control of a team of worms fighting over a desolate wasteland. It’s wacky where other artillery games are grim, hilarious where others are serious and full of customization where so many of the artillery shooters are stripped down and simple.”

  • “WMD is a whole lot of fun. It brings back the Armageddon experience while still feeling like a fresh take for the series.”
