Description
Worms is a cleverly balanced turn-based strategy game in which teams of worms battle across bizarre randomly generated landscapes for supremacy. Each team takes its turn to pick off the opposing teams using crazy weapons, tools, and other utilities, as well as whatever foul strategies they can devise.
Worms die when they lose all of their energy or plunge into the water. The winning team is the one that manages to survive the mayhem and have worms left standing when the dust settles. Sound simple? Easy to play but difficult to master, it's a game of deep strategy that belies its simple appearance.
Features
- Strategy and action: The game is a cleverly balanced mix of strategy and arcade action that is not only simple and easy to understand but contains real depth and massive replay-ability.
- Multiplayer modes: Play offline turn-based play for up to four players, or go online for turn-based play for up to four players over Xbox Live®.
- Game options: An assortment of game options abound, from the landscape on which to battle on, to turn time, round time, and the starting weapon arsenal of each team.
- Tutorials: Three detailed tutorials are included to introduce the mechanics to those who haven't played the game before.
- Variety of challenges: With 20 increasingly difficult single player challenges and three graphical themes on which to play, a random landscape generator means no two landscapes generated are ever the same.
- Weapon selection: Choose from 22 weapons and utilities to deploy against your enemies.
- Customization: Make the game your own, from worm and team names, to what they say and the gravestone they leave behind when they die.
