so a new worms game came out yesterday. it is only $15. i miss the few times a bunch of us got together to play multiplayer on armageddon and reloaded (and reloaded sucked until a bunch of patches came out after everyone stopped playing). but since i've played revolution i'll tell you the good and bad about it before you make a decision.
the good:
- ALL the old weapons except some of the "armageddon" stuff (which is coming later apparantly) and new weapons
- new features including on-map water traps and water weapons like water gun and water balloon which can be used to submerge worms, causing them to lose 5 hp per turn, wash worms down slopes, etc (worms still drown and die in the water underneath the level)
- new physics objects which can be pushed over by worms, blown up and some contain explosives, poison gas, water. can also be moved around with a "telekenesis" ability
- there are 4 different classes of worms. the soldier is the standard worm, the heavy is slower but does more damage and is harder to push around and kill, the scout is super fast , has more jetpack fuel but is easier to kill, and the scientists grants 5 hp per turn for every worm on the team (up to max health)
- backflip jump can be performed forwards or backwards , and its trajectory can be controlled with right/left arrow key
the bad:
- the rope is even worse than it was in reloaded. it's useless
- worms are a tad bit heavier. don't expect them to fly off the map as much as they used to
- still only 4 worms per team max
you can customize your worms a bit which is also pretty cool. it comes with a bunch of hats and accessories like reloaded did. but there's way more. you start with 4 soldier worms, but can buy more of each class with credits you earn from beating single player missions. you can probably earn credits other ways.
overall i recommend it. i am a little disappointed in the uselessness of the rope. but everything else feels pretty good. so if you get it be sure to let me know so we can kill some worms :D
