Worms W.M.D Reviews
Worms WMD is a dependable soldier when it comes to laugh-out-loud competitive warfare. It may not have flashy 3D graphics or big-budget actors reenacting huge battles, but its cartoony 2D conflicts are a fun way to test your combat prowess with some weird and wacky weapons.
20 years and countless games later, Team 17 rediscovers some of the old magic for Worms.
Worms W.M.D. marks a return to form for the classic turn-based strategy series.

In contrast to recent games, Worms WMD feels more like the classic Worms titles with its explosive mayhem and tongue-in-cheek humour. Vehicles, turrets, and crafting all freshen up the formula somewhat, while the new 2D art direction mixed with the classic simplistic structure of Worms campaigns make for a welcome and familiar experience. Still, there’s not much out there quite like Worms and Worms WMD is a great rendition of that explosive madness.
Worms W.M.D comes to Nintendo Switch, making it portable and able to adapt to our daily lifes. Besides, it has new content compared to the previous versions of this game.

Faithful to the Worms tradition, the new Team 17 title, with its bizarre new weapons and vehicles, manages to be a fun experience even in the crafting mechanics aren't the most user friendly out there.

Worms W.M.D. still as fun as it was in other systems, but adds this "mobile" style thanks to the portable options of Nintendo Switch. A great option to play with our friends, with interesting new features.

Featuring enough new stuff to bring back longtime fans, Worms W.M.D is another great entry in the 20 year old franchise. The game doesn't reinvent the formula that has worked so well, but it does refine it in a number of important ways. With new weapons, vehicles, and visuals, Worms W.M.D should please anyone looking for an old school turn-based strategy game.
The same old Worms gameplay you’ve seen many times before, with bolder animations, new weapons and added vehicles.
Loading times are a minor niggle though, and while the single player does fall a little bit flat it does a good job of educating you on weapon usage and game mechanics. But, let's face it, multiplayer is where Worms has always shined and it's no different here. Get a bunch of friends together and duke it out; it gets a bit chaotic with more than four people playing, but with friends chaos is fun.
While Worms W.M.D. might evoke the halcyon days of Armageddon, it’s more than capable of standing on its own as another high point for the series.
Worms WMD is a breath of fresh air for the Worms franchise, introducing several new gameplay elements that compliment the series' trademark 2D gameplay nicely.
Worms W.M.D brings back the classic 2D joy of Worms Armageddon, yet mixes it with new and interesting ideas that keep you on your worm tail. Though some may wince at the price, it's hard not to love the chaotic multiplayer and extensive customisation, and the addition of crafting adds a new lease of life to an already timeless formula. Forget the series going stale – this is one of the freshest cans of Worms to date.
As silly and sadistic as ever, Worms W.M.D. is a multiplayer hoot.
Team 17 has done a great job at balancing the power and weaknesses of the new mechanics so that they feel like natural additions to the Worms world, and while some of the old weapons haven't returned this time, the game never feels like it is reducing your tactical choices. Worms W.M.D continues to deliver exactly what we have come to expect from the series and fans will not be disappointed.
Worms W.M.D. brings the franchise back with new bells and whistles to spice the game up.
