Sadly we have not given enough attention to the Worms series lately. As a result, we’ll be posting some developer diaries here for you and going over what we have learned about Worms Revolution so far.
Classes in Worms Revolution Actually do Something
From what we have heard and seen they are going to change everything from the items you get to how your team works at a base level. We hope that they take this a step further. We want to see something down the road, maybe not even in this edition, that lets you make custom classes.
What is really exciting is the fact that the classes have their own physics. Even if you loved the old worms games, it was always a bit disappointing to see only cosmetic changes to them. No more just having funny hats for them, now differences actually matter. There are also new cosmetic options and styles. This seems like the natural step for the evolution of worms, and would likely be doable somewhere down the road. But who knows where they will go with Worms Revolution?
Worms Revolution Modes
Apparently there are going to be the standard modes you might expect. A campaign and puzzle mode are standards you might expect. It will also have the online play you are probably expecting. It also has a forts mode which has become a standard. The original Worms Forts game was actually quite interesting. However it perhaps tried to do a little too much at once, which made it less popular than some of its predecessors. They are apparently going to put a forts mode in all of their modern games. It was also in some previous 3D titles and was quite fun. This one will be no different.
They are also keeping a purist mode in Worms Revolution, which removes the new water physics and such. It is good to see progress, but also handy to see that they kept a mode with classic gameplay in. More developers should learn from this lesson.
Worms Revolution and the Environment
Probably the most exciting new part of Worms Revolution is the fact that you have landscapes with 3D objects. This is a serious change because you can know drop objects from the environment on enemy worms. This is a huge change to the previous games and should change worms completely. Some of them even explode or poison worms.
The History of Worms
We assume most of you reading this are already fans of the series. However the developers did do some history for those who are new to it. If you are new to it, this is a classic series which has only gotten better over time. It is definitely worth checking out this new one because they are trying interesting new things.
As usual check out our site later for more information. If you are a huge Worms fan, be sure to check out their official site as well.
