  Not worth the price. Loads of other games you can find that are loads more fun and cheaper than $25. *EDIT* Since i've seen the price come down quite dramatically, this review was no longer valid. But I honestly still couldn't recommend this product. In my opinion it can be quite fun playing with friends (if you manage to persuade them to buy it). But the fun doesn't last very long and soon you start to get sick and bored of the game. Take my advice and take the time to find a game that looks more fun, better and generally will still be fun after 6 hours.

  Bugged, hardly any online community and lack of support from Team17 but still great fun. If you want a tactical turn based and very silly game this is well worth looking in to when offers pop up from time to time on Steam. However, the game is branded "Clan Wars" but the online play (and lobby system for finding matches) is bugged. The offline game is short and not much of a challenge but does teach some techniques useful for online play. One nice feature of this game is that beginners in 3-way and 4-way games often have a chance to win and should never give in! Players tend to pick on the biggest threat (most health left/experience/skill) and this means someone with a basic knowledge can challenge to win. If the numerous bugs were fixed and more people played online the game would live up to it's name and provide fun clan wars..

  If you've ever played worms you know this is good. It's back to it's classic roots, but with a fun narrative and some new online multiplayer features. If you've not played worms, get this version now and play it... Do it... Now...

  Great game for the Worms series! Its 3D but keeps the old worms 2D on the side style (making it a 2.5D game) and with new and old classic weapons to choose from, anyone whos played any of the Worms game is sure to enjoy this! Its got a nice little story mode that with each level shows you how the game plays that will help you beat some of the harder levels, there is also Local CO-OP multiplayer mode with also online multiplayer which all seem to run great! You get to edit your teams, they have different types of worm such as heavy (take more damage then the average worm) scout (runs and jumps far but is small and weaker) scientist (gives 5hp each time its a scientist worm's turn to the whole team) and then the average worm which is a soilder class/rank each all play a part of winning the match and not just relying on luck and good shots. But thats not all, you get to chose their victory dance, their voice (soundbank) what they wear such as hats, glasses or facial hair and even selecting your type of fort for your team with plenty of options for each category. Steam Workshop is also supported for the game so there is heaps of content that you can add to your teams customization, you can add more content such as gravestones, hats, glasses, trinkets, mustaches, soundbanks and even levels! If your a fan of Worms from the 90s or weather you started when it first went 3D or even just thinking of trying one, Worms Clan Wars is def worth giving a go!

  I got the four pack with some suitemates in my dorm and might I say this was well worth the 4-odd dollars I had to pay per copy. Among the four of us we had collectively broken 100 hours within the first two weeks. DOWNSIDE: If you can't find friends to play, it can be hard to find a match with more than one opponent. Not enough Clans play and I feel people are really missing out. UPSIDE: This game series is and always fun, and this game is no different. Clan Wars uses four different characters with different movement speeds and damage outputs, and you can have any combination you want... keeping things interesting. There's always new workshop content such as soundboards, worm outfits, and maps. Playing with friends is hilarious, especially when that one friend you have that is terrible at these games keeps accidentally committing suicide while parachuting or jetpacking. Alliances will be made, betrayed, and winning is always a curse. Half 3D maps are visually satisfying and destruction is... a "blast" Dynamic water/Good weapon choice/physics objects Not strenuous on your pc Overall, it's a great game and made better with friends. I've even considered buying extra copies to get more people playing, but my wallet disagrees... Get it!

  Clan Wars is probably the most innovative Worms game to date offering the same diversity of classes as Revolution albeit with some tweaks for balancing. In case you're not familiar with them: [list] [*] Soldiers are the same regular worms from all other games except they can choose when to detonate grenades. [*] Heavies have the most damage and biggest explosions but are slower and (obviously) heavier. [*] Scouts are more mobile with longer jumps and are light enough to avoid triggering mines but deal less damage. [*] Scientists heal friendly worms in a small radius at the start of their turn and all constructions (girders, turrets, magnets, etc.) are more durable but they also deal reduced damage. [/list] Weapons variety is largely the same as in Revolution from the traditional bazooka to some of the more wacky ones, many of which have multiple uses, like the Lightning Strike allowing you to heal worms, resurrect dead ones, convert turrets and activate inactive mines and magnets. Unlike classic Worms and Armageddon the Ninja Rope functions more like a rope than a mix between a rope and a ladder, meaning you'll weigh it down and have to use your momentum to swing around. Other mobility items, both old and new to the genre, include such items as Jetpack, Water Jetpack and Teleport Gun to name but a few. As far as gameplay goes Clan Wars is an optimized Revolution meaning no lag when water sloshes about. However, both games are made in the same engine which limits animations to 30 frames per second regardless of what fps the actual game runs on. Note the game itself can run above 30 fps; only the worm animations are limited. So all in all I think it's one of the freshest Worms games out there since Armageddon.

  I have always had a soft spot for the Worm's series, which it's crazy physics, bazookas, dynamite, super sheep and holy hand grenades and this game hasn't changed that opinion one bit. I took advantage of the package deal and got this Worms game along with several others. Note this is a first impression review. Worms Clan Wars is an 2.5D artillery game where you control teams of Worms to defeat the other teams. You use a wide selection of weaponry and tools to secure victory. Sometimes in hilarious ways. Gameplay wise this is no Armaggedon but it comes close. Even when you lose or do something daft you can always laugh about it. In one case, I was going to do a classic tactic of using a baseball bat to send an enemy worm into the water, only instead for the worm to catch onto a piece of landscape, I was still laughing afterwards. Unlike most Worms games including Armaggedon, you have several classes of Worms to use. The Soldier is basically the standard Worm, but gains the ability to detonate grenades at any time. The Scout is a weaker, but faster Worm that doesn't set of mines. The Heavy is a slow, but tough worm that does extra damage. The Scientist is similar to the Solider but can heal itself and its teammate each turn whilst producing better tools. You can configure your team to adapt to this. Online Gameplay is fun, and even when something daft happens you can still enjoy it and the clan features are nice. The only criticism I have is the modded in cosemtic options, which with some items like that Master Chief helmet can really cause the lag in an online game to go theough the roof and with a rather low spec computer it has firced me to quit several times. Definately recommend giving this game a shot!

  I don't know why recent reviews are mixed This game is a great party of fun with friends, either you want to compete and win the match or just chill and laugh a lot. It has good graphics, a variety of weapons and a level editor. I don't use the online play of this game a lot i only play with friends but i think it's a bit bugged. So if you want to have a good time playing a game with your friends i would definitely recommend this game.

  [i]Team 17 needs a new franchise. Hopefully they do overcooked 2.[/i] It's worms, the seminal 2d artillery game. I suppose at this point this is the worms game to get, it ticks all the boxes EDIT - now obseleted by worms WMD. It's got some weird "museum" theme happening in the metagame, doesn't add to the experience however. Hard to get excited about this given the similarity to the last worms game. And the one before that. And the one before that. And the one before that. [h1] Good [/h1] - it's the worms you know and love - it's nicely balanced - plenty of content - online play mostly works well [h1] Bad [/h1] - same ♥♥♥♥ different game - clunky ♥♥♥ interface Recommended I guess [h1] 4/5 [/h1]
