A lot of
people love this game in the west but apparently not so many in Japan
judging by the sales this Sega Saturn version received. Personally I
can't stand worms. I can see why others like it but to me it's nothing
more than a over hyped, over whored franchise. Still, don't take my
advice on this one and have a read of this.
Worms is a strategy game for the masses, featuring up to 4 teams of 4
worms, aiming to destroy the others on a generated terrain. They are
armed with a wide range of weapons - the standard ones as bazookas
(which is affected by (random) wind settings and gravity) and grenades
(which are affected only by gravity), both of which can score up to 50
points of damage (default energy for each worm is 100). The others
include a Fire Punch, dynamite, air strikes, and utilities such as ropes
and girders.
There are 10 styles of terrain, ranging from forests and deserts to
Candy land and the moon (complete with affected gravity). Shots leave
craters in the ground, and complex tunnels can be formed. Play is
turn-based, so each player must make their move and shot before time
runs out - be careful to choose a sheltered area to leave the worm. |
