Warheads

About

Warheads is a chaotic turn-based shooter where you battle opponents on floating planets with gravity-defying missile launches. Each round unfolds in a new solar system with randomly placed planets, each having its own mass and gravitational pull that alters projectile trajectories. You take turns launching ships to destroy enemies while surviving environmental hazards. Earn points by outlasting rivals and unlock 50 weapons with varying effects. The level editor lets you tweak weapon stats and share creations via email. The game’s physics-based gameplay and weapon customization stood out even in 1997. Up to ten players could clash online or locally, a rarity at the time. While its dated graphics show age, the core mechanics remain sharp and competitive. A small but active community still hosts tournaments, proving its lasting appeal. Simple to learn but tough to master, it’s a niche pick for tactical shooters who enjoy adapting to shifting physics.
