Some of WMD's weirder items like the Dodgy Cell Phone Battery, the Concrete Donkey, the Old Lady, and the Poke are under-explained, meaning fodder - I mean inexperienced players - have to experiment in the middle of a battle and potentially waste a move when learning about the uses for certain weapons. If anything, the amount of training games is so vast that it's a little disappointing that a handful of items are left off because they seem like they might’ve been among the most entertaining. Fortunately, there's more reason to return to those missions than just sharpening combat skills as high scores are tracked and XP can be earned toward customization options. You can play through the dozens of training games for many of WMD's weapons and traversal items, but some of those are a bit on the boring side. In fact, there are almost too many items to keep track of at the start, especially if you're a newcomer. Once the enemy is in range, it's all a matter of skillfully deploying over-the-top attacks that range from baseball bats and Street Fighter-inspired fire punches all the way up to burrowing missiles and airstrikes.
The cute creatures squeal jokey phrases with plenty of British slang as they crawl, hop, swing, and fly across the destructible stages with diverse gear such as jetpacks, parachutes, and grappling hooks. The charm of Worms comes with the eponymous invertebrates and their vast arsenal of items. It’s a time-tested system that rewards both careful tactical positioning and reflexes and technique as you use their many gadgets to climb tricky terrain and reach an advantageous position. Then the enemy gets a turn, and you can only watch and hold your breath to hope the AI or your human opponent will do something hilariously stupid instead of blasting one or more of your crew to bits. Unless you've been living under a rock in the same way real worms do, you know how Worms' simple turn-based action-strategy combat works: You have a few seconds to move one of your squishy squad members around the map, and your turn ends once the timer elapses, a combat option is performed, or (most embarrassingly) you accidentally trigger an explosive or fall from a great height.
XBOX WORMS WMD SERIES
This 2D battler can hold its own next to bigger and more self-serious strategy games using cartoonishly violent charm and clever weaponry that showcase exactly why the two-decade-old Worms series has stuck around so long. As strategy games go, Worms WMD isn't the biggest gun in the battle, but it's very easy to underestimate.
