Gameplay edit

Unlike its predecessors, Worms Rumble is a 2.5D real-time action game.[1] In Rumble, players assume control of anthropomorphic worms and compete against each other in modes including Death Match, Last Worm Standing and Last Squad Standing.[2] The game features a variety of exotic weapons, such as Sheep Launchers, Plasma Blasters, and Sentry Turrets, which can be used to defeat enemies. Players can also acquire jet packs and grappling hooks to navigate the environment easily.[3] As players progress in the game, they can also gain experience points which can be used to unlock cosmetic items and customise the appearance of their playable avatars.[4]

Development edit

Team17 announced Worms Rumble on July 3, 2020 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Worms series. It is the first game in the series since Worms W.M.D (2016).[5] The game is envisioned to be a spin-off rather than a mainline installment in the franchise, as it replaces the series' traditional turn-based artillery gameplay with real-time combat.[6] An open beta for the game was released on November 6, 2020.[7] The game was released for Windows, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on December 1, 2020 with cross-platform play enabled.[6] Team17 has announced that the ports of Worms Rumble for Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S are planned for a 2021 release.[8] The new versions were released on June 23, 2021 and include platform-exclusive costumes. The game was added to the Xbox Game Pass service on the same date, with physical editions for all platforms to follow on July 13, 2021.[9]

Reception edit

According to review aggregator Metacritic, the game received mixed or average reviews.[10] Christian Donlan from Eurogamer called the game "a hectic real-time delight" and noted that Rumble "completely subverts Worms".[2] Fraser Brown from PC Gamer wrote that the game was fun to play, but expressed his disappointment that the game had deviated too much from the established gameplay formula expected from the series.[11] Chris Carter from Destructoid awarded the game a 7/10, praising its gameplay and map design while lamenting the game's lack of content.[12] Less than 11 months after its Windows launch, Steam reviews note the game is completely unplayable because of its PVP only mode and lack of other players.[13]
