Worms W.M.D. Preview
The Worms games have always been fun couch-competitive games. I spent hours playing Worms on the Dreamcast, and although I’ve dabbled in the franchise throughout the years, it’s been awhile since I’ve really dug into a game in the series. Hopefully that’s about to change with Worms W.M.D., coming to the Nintendo Switch later this year.
For those unfamiliar, Worms is a turn-based strategy game where you must destroy your opponent’s army before they destroy you. The action takes place on a 2D environment and you have a wide arsenal of weapons and tools at your disposal. You must use the landscape to your advantage to hide your troops from harms way and also to position your characters in spots that give you a good angle to aim your weapons. The game is loaded with humor, zany items, crazy environments, and is just a ton of fun to play with friends.
New to the Switch version is the support for single Joy-Con play so you and a friend can immediately go at it. Local wireless multiplayer as well as local and online multiplayer modes will allow you to engage your enemies anywhere you may be. We can’t wait to cause some mayhem later this year!
