Using telepathy to move objects is incredibly imprecise, and very rarely does it feel like you’ve achieved anything by doing so. Much of the time, interacting with these objects is just a lot of hassle. Telepathy and UFOs can move and drop these objects, some of which explode and drench the area in flames, and they are also susceptible to weapons fire, which can dislodge them or blow them up. Worms are actually scaled appropriately, so mobile phones, zippo lighters, and water bottles are all significantly larger than the suicidal wee beasties. Large objects are scattered throughout levels - the refuse of humans. The physics shenanigans are a little less impressive, sadly. It’s one of the most welcome additions to the series, and in the likely event we continue to get more Worms installments, I hope it becomes a mainstay. It’s just another reason to pay close attention to the environment, and murdering foes in such a way is immensely satisfying. The water acts more like runny jelly than good old H2O, and that’s cool with me - jelly is a lot more funny than water. It might push them down a hill, or it might create another pool that slowly drowns the little soldiers. Similarly, a pool of water above some unsuspecting worms can be blown up, showering the worms below. Water-based weaponry makes up a small part of your wormy arsenal, while also featuring prominently as dangerous environmental hazards.Ī water bomb or pistol can be employed to make enemy worms slide down slopes, and presumably to their doom, or just get them soggy and even more gross. Unfortunately, it’s actually October, so there’s always the risk of pneumonia, too. Water bombs, water pistols, pools - it’s like summer time. Water has been pushed as one of the defining features that sets this version apart from its predecessors. All three of those things are awesome, and two of them are awesome in Worms Revolution. Do you like water, physics, and the consistently hilarious Matt Berry of IT Crowd and Mighty Boosh fame? If you don’t, then you should probably just go back to playing Worms 2: Armageddon(or Worms Reloadedon the PC) which, up until now, was the most polished and content-heavy title in the series.įor those of you still with me, you answered correctly.
If you’re like me, however, and you’ve played the countless iterations, and they’ve all started to blend together, then you’re probably wondering if it’s worth picking up yet again. Two teams of battle-hardened worm warriors meet on destructible battlefields and use a highly customizable variety of weapons, from the mundane, like shotgun and bazookas, to the absolutely bonkers, like explosive grannies and holy hand grenades (if it’s not from Antioch, you’ve been ripped off), just to name a few. The core gameplay is, despite the new engine, nearly identical to the rest of the 2D installments which means it’s still pretty great. If you love Worms and you’re just looking to sink your teeth into another colorful artillery game then stop reading, and go and buy the bloody thing. Worms Revolution (PC, PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade) Yes, it’s pretty much still the same old Worms, but in the best way possible. The endless cycle of wormicide continues in Worms Revolution - a misnomer if ever I’ve heard one. One cannot help but wonder, after so many years of senseless violence and bloodshed, what is it that makes worms so murderous? I guess that if you lived in the dirt, looked a bit gross, and were so often at the mercy of a trowel or a spade, you’d probably be a bit angry too.
