About Worms W.M.D
Team17 dropped Worms W.M.D on August 23, 2016 for PC, consoles, and Linux systems. This title marks a shift from the series' traditional 2D roots by adding vehicles, crafting mechanics, and destructible buildings to the mix. The game retains its signature hand-drawn aesthetic while introducing a chaotic new layer of destruction. You command squadrons of anthropomorphic worms in turn-based combat scenarios that rely heavily on physics and timing. It stands as a significant evolution for the franchise, offering both single-player campaigns and frantic multiplayer matches across all major platforms including the Nintendo Switch and Google Stadia.
Gameplay
You take control of your team in a strict turn-based format where you move each worm individually before firing weapons or using abilities. Sessions involve positioning units on shifting terrain while managing wind speed and gravity to land shots. This entry adds drivable vehicles that let you cross maps quickly or use them as mobile shields. You can also construct buildings for cover or strategic advantages during your turn. Crafting allows you to create new items from collected resources, changing how you approach combat encounters. The controls feel responsive but require precise calculation since a single miscalculation can result in friendly fire or falling off the map entirely.
What Players Think
The PlayPile data shows an IGDB score of 75.6 out of 100 based on 73 ratings. Players have logged significant time, with many tackling the achievement system where the average unlock rate sits at a low 7.4 percent. The rarest trophy is "Bleating Ranker," which only 0.30% of users have unlocked. Community sentiment leans toward appreciation for the visual overhaul despite some criticism regarding the new mechanics feeling clunky. Reviews often highlight the fun factor in multiplayer sessions, noting that the price has dropped to a historical low of $1.49 on Steam. This massive discount suggests a high value proposition for those willing to overlook minor design flaws.
PlayPile's Take
This is a solid buy if you enjoy chaotic turn-based shooters and want access to every platform from Stadia to Switch. The 29 available achievements offer enough long-term goals for dedicated players, especially given how elusive the rarest ones are. At $1.49, the price point removes any excuse not to try it unless you strictly dislike the new vehicle mechanics. It is not a perfect sequel but delivers exactly what fans expect with some fresh twists. Pick it up now while the discount lasts and start grinding for that difficult Bleating Ranker achievement.
