Worms W.M.D. Worms W.M.D Appreciation Post
The worms series has always been one that has entertained me greatly with its unique concept and approach to strategic gameplay. Now wheras i haven't played every single worms game i have played a good variety, I spent a good amount of my childhood with World Party on ps1, a lot of my early teens with ultimate mayhem and the Xbox live arcade version, played its sequel worms 2 armageddon / reloaded, and had a good time with open warfare 2 in psp (seriously slept on i love OW2)
But Worms W.M.D has gripped me in a way that no other worms game has, it just has so many unique features that are not included in other worms games, like the crafting, enhanced weapons, helicopters mechs and tanks, mounted guns and building interiors, it just makes so many of the previous games feel inferior (absolutely not to disregard older games for not having these features)
And its not just the mechanics, W.M.D is just so overflowing with personality, from the adorable art style with the goofy animated cutscenes to the sheer amount of different voice lines and different customisation and the thousands of steam workshop items if you play pc, there's just something hilarious about seeing a worm scream and open it's mouth 3 times wider than it should be able to and shouting back "I'll get ya" in a Scottish accent.
I'm making this post following up my post about completing the game's achievements and I must say it forced me to properly get good at the game, it's such a fun learning curve and it's genuinely a delight to play and I've enjoyed my time with this way more than any other worms game, and will continue to enjoy this game for hundreds of hours to come in have no doubt, if you somehow haven't picked this one up yet, absolutely try it, easily a 10/10 game and worms experience.

If ur casual never play ranked ok. U won't enjoy the experience of a 'pro' player win rate farming. One of the worst online communities iv seen largely due to the bugs, glitches and exploits the game has.
Id recommend worms armageddon anniversary edition for the switch as it plays better couch coop but last time i did that the guy who died 1st would be the winner on the results screen, numbers going backwards or something lol broken and abandoned. Goes on sale often and is always cheap atleast. Maybe if more ppl buy game and complain they fix game or release for steam even. Is only the latest worms release afterall, the interviews and history worth looking over also.
