Overview

The Worms series is the most popular in the line of modern games which take after Artillery and Scorched Earth (Game). Players have an arsenal of weapons and a squad of worms who both use these weapons and are targets for attack. Players attempt to eliminate all other teams in order to secure victory.

Worms also attempts to inject humor into the genre, with weapons such as exploding sheep, and goofy behavior from the anthropomorphic worms themselves.
