Still in early stages, but is very fun already. It has the potential to become incredible.

They're now finally fulfilling the potential the game had from the start. Hopefully they will keep improving it for a long time.

Awesomenauts has always been a great and charming game, but it has had severe matchmaking problems caused mostly by the player base being too small. Going F2P will hopefully revive the game from the brink of death.

I don't personally have any need for an offline mode, but I understand the removal of it is a big issue for many. Let's hope they will add an offline mode soon! (EDIT 3. of May 2017: They added a temporary solution for offline mode already and promised to add a better way in coming weeks!)

Other things to wait for:

- More unlockable cosmetics. The droppods and and portraits aren't THAT cool and there aren't that many of them.

- Competent gameplay balancing. This has been one of the things Ronimo hasn't done very well in the past, I hope they've learned their lesson.

- Bug fixes.

Don't trust the positive reviews, this is a terrible excuse for a game. It's only for quick achievements.

This seems to be easily the best Worms game since Worms World Party, but that is not saying very much or make me sing praises. This is getting positive reviews because it's better than the last dozen weak Worms games and because there isn't any competition in the genre. It's an alright game for casual gamers and kids, but the 30 euro price tag??? If this was 10-20 euros, I could've given a positive review. For more hardcore wormers Worms Armageddon is still the only choice.


I didn't have that much time to play the game myself, but I've watched several hours of gameplay videos. This is what I gathered:

Top 3 Pros:
+ Map textures are pretty cool looking and there's no noisy disruptive background.
+ UI and menus are better and more PC friendly than in the previous games, also better optimization, plays much smoother than Rev/CW for example.
+ Physics gone to the right direction as well?

Top 3 Cons:
- UI still really consoley, the PC version really should have slicker look and handling.
- Team17 created this purely for casual players and kids only. You won't find that much skill-based weapons or scheme customization. A lot of the weapons and utilities have been dumbed down to oblivion, for example Parachute.
- Crafting! Such crappy idea. If it was completely optional, but no: you can't include craftable weapon variations in scheme editor, which is the dumbest thing I've seen in a game in a while. The vehicles are boringly implemented as well and unbalanced.

(- I must mention the exclusive pre-order bonuses?!? What were they thinking? If the bonuses were purely cosmetic, it would've been fine, but this is not the case...)


They took a step into the right direction with this one, but it's not enough for me, I will refund. Lastly I want to bring up a couple of big problems the Worms series has had for years:

1. If Team17 created the perfect Worms game, they couldn't keep making a new ones every other year. They need to make money, so they consciously leave stuff out (for example deep customization, which would bring a lot of replayability). The solution could be f2p, but it's hard to do well. Or maybe they should just make more games that are not Worms?

2. Team17 wants to make casual games for kids, but there is a big group of old school WA wormers who want a new competitive and skill-based Worms type game with modern ELO ranking ladders etc. Who will bring them that? Obviously not T17, they clearly don't care about that or still even understand what WA is all about.

A weak copy of a weak game.

It is like WA/WWP, except worse than those games in every meaningful way. Armageddon is the only Worms game you want.

They at least tried to innovate a bit with the water physics and worm classes, but the result is a dumbed down, badly optimized, horribly designed buggy console port. A chore to play.

Worms Armageddon is where it's at.

This is NOT remastered. Why is this fully priced? I guess Team17's gotta eat too, but you should also have to work for your meal, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Is this really what it's come to?

Thank you Andy Davidson & co (Team17), Deadcode and Cybershadow for making my favourite game of all-time.

I wish more people would realize that this game is not just "LOL HOLY GRENADE AND BANANA BOMB IS SO FUNNY xD".
Don't get me wrong, they are funny, but it is so, so much more.
