Worms: Battlegrounds

Worms Battlegrounds is a strategic shooter and part of the long-lasting Worms series.

The game features a singe-player and multiplayer mode. The single-player mode takes place in a world history museum. The evil villain, Lord Crowley-Mesmer, wants to take over the world and the player tries to stop him. Single-player gameplay not only revolves about killing enemy worms, but also about rescuing friendly ones and puzzling a way through the level using ninja ropes, jumping and placing metal bars.

Multiplayer gameplay is much like any other Worms game. Both players get a set of Worms. These worms are randomly placed in a map. The goal is to kill the enemy worms before the enemy can do the same. Multiplayer can be played local and through internet. The game features 65 different weapons and utility items, of which ten weapons are new to the series. Among those ten is the ray gun to teleport to other parts of the map.

Players can customize their worms with various items, including head wear and handheld items. Clans for the multiplayer mode can be created and joined and players can create their own maps to play on. Maps can be customized by choosing the background, items that spawn in the map, where water spawns, etc.
