You can craft while your opponent is taking his turn with your resulting weapon being available at the beginning of your next go. You're able to pick up ingredients in crates and combine them to make new weapons including some extra powerful ones that can only be attained through crafting. You still take damage, but it's greatly reduced and they all take a fair bit of battering before they're wrecked.Īside from the new munitions, the other major addition in W.M.D is the introduction of a crafting system. You can also use the vehicles as a form of protection. This has the added bonus of hiding your worms from your opponents who can only see their positions if they follow them inside. To help defend against this onslaught, you can now take cover in buildings. Extreme challenges require extreme solutions (like vertical tank parking)Īs well as the vehicles, W.M.D also features a range of stationary turrets for causing even more mayhem such as sniper rifles, flame-throwers and mortars. It's also outfitted with a jetpack that lets you jump over large gaps and hover to hard-to-reach places, though it's not as mobile as the chopper. It has a ground-pound attack that does up to fifty damage and can send a worm flying across the screen if positioned correctly. The tank is cumbersome but it can inflict a lot more destruction, firing off up to six shells during each turn. The helicopter's machine gun doesn't do a lot of damage, but its speed and mobility make it handy for getting around the map quickly. Each has different strengths and weaknesses. These are usually found lying around the battlefield and can be commandeered by any team. The main one is the addition of a roster of three vehicles: a tank, helicopter and mech suit. To its credit, Worms W.M.D does make an effort to bring some significant new elements to proceedings. W.M.D continues this trend, sticking with the trademark 2D gameplay, playful sense of humour and colourful visuals that continue to keep it so popular. Apart from the occasional 3D departure, developer Team17 has usually kept to the classic formula that's been working ever since the first game hit the shelves in 1995.
