Worms 2: Armageddon

Get ready for another round of insane high jinxes with the sequel to the artillery strategy game “Worms” in “Worms 2: Armageddon, taking place in a crazy world of worm against worm chaos only the strong will survive. This insanely fun game brings the strategic world of video games to a humorous level where players take on the role of worms in a single player campaign along with the ability to play with friends in local gameplay or online play, fighting against each other with various in game weapons. To start out you create your very own worm team that include four worms, players get to name their team and their worms whatever they would like however players who will be playing online later my find that the names of their worms may change dependent on their most likely lewd and hilarious name choices. Players also can customize their worms further with a selection of various worm colors, hats, grave markers and voices that make for funny in game responses whether a character or an opponent does something good or screws up in the worst possible way. Players can continue to upgrade their worms with even more quirky gear and items by buying items from the shop in the games menu, players can purchase various guns, voices, missions and apparel for their worms with coins gained through completing campaign missions. After you get done making your crack team of worms, players can continue on to play through the single player campaign that offers 30 playable missions along with extra missions (bought in the games shop) that start from very easy and basic tasks leading to progressively harder challenges later on. These missions can have players use any of the various items in the game to complete tasks given to them or have players fight a group of computer controlled players in turn based attacks that “Worms” is known best for. “Worms 2” also offers a training mode with tutorials on all the various in game mechanics so players who don’t know how the game works or want to learn what the various weapons of destruction and killing do in the game against your enemies. Players will perhaps most enjoy the classic gameplay that unfolds in online and local play with their friends as players take their team worms and fight in battles for victory using the various and sometimes ridiculous weapons you have to choose from. 


“Worms 2: Armageddon” offers a goofy and enjoyable way to play a strategy game offering players the ability to alter their worms with various name, apparel and voices players and their friends are able to find a lot to enjoy. The game comes packed with a unique level of humor as well as an extensive single player experience alongside a multiplayer experience that makes for hours of fun whether playing against your friends or anyone you meet online. And with the dull selection of turn based strategy games out there you can’t go wrong with all the craziness “Worms” brings to the table.
