A turn-based strategy-arcade game in which two title teams are facing each other and the aim of each is to defeat the opponent through the elimination of all of his team. The game takes place on randomly generated two-dimensional maps, and during battles worms use a variety of weapons and accessories.
Worms is a turn-based strategy-arcade game in which two teams consisting of the titular worms face each other. The game is a debut work of British designer Andy Davidson - its original version (called Total Wormage) grabbed the attention of Team 17's representatives. The final production debuted at the end of 1995 on PC, Amiga and PlayStation. Later, the game was ported to a number of other gaming platforms.
The gameplay mechanics in Worms was inspired by the classic Scorched Earth. However, Davidson improved a lot of gameplay elements known from the rather minimalistic original. Players control a team of four worms, and their task is to defeat the opposing team by eliminating all its . Individual worms perform their movements alternately in rounds, during which they can move around the map and attack their rivals. The matches take place on randomly generated maps, located in several sceneries - from the forest and desert to the Moon. The players have many different weapons at their disposal, both real ones (e.g. rifle, bazooka, grenades or dynamite), as well as completely fictional and often humorous ones (e.g. exploding sheep or a banana bomb). When we are using some of the weapons, we must also take into factors such as the range, the angle of firing or the direction and strength of the wind. Various accessories, such as ropes, teleporters, and blow torches, help us to move around the level.
Worms has a in single player mode - we compete with a team led by an AI. However, the game is even better during a multiplayer game. Here, players can compete with each other in various configurations - from four (one for each team) to sixteen players (here, each of them controls one worm).
Worms, released on PC and PS1, uses extremely colorful 2D graphics, and individual levels are viewed from the side. During the game, we are accompanied by funny comments. The game's intro was made with a great sense of humor.
