The Scout is the quickest worm, jumping the farthest and taking less damage from falls. The normal worm is now known as a Soldier, and is joined by the Scout, Scientist and Heavy. The other big change for the game is the introduction of classes. While it doesn’t always get utilized a lot, an explosion can cause players to change strategies on the fly. A seashell can be blown out of the ground and roll along the land, or a screw can fall sideways if land next to it is blown away, causing it to trap a worm next to it. Most of the environmental objects in the game are now dynamic. The water isn’t the only thing to get a dynamic update. There is a water pistol, water grenade and water air strike that can pour water onto an area to destroy formations or drown worms. Going along with the water element are a few new water-based weapons. For players that get trapped in water, there is a drain that can be used to get rid of water. While submerged, worms take a bit of damage as each turn goes instead of instant death, letting you trap and slowly drown a worm while focusing elsewhere. While the water at the bottom of the world still instantly kills, there are pockets of water around the level that can be let loose and used to push worms around or submerge them. However, some new weapons have been added as well, mostly centered around the new dynamic water element.
Many of the fan-favorite items are back, such as the Holy Hand Grenade, Concrete Donkey, Sheep and more.
Players will use a variety of weapons and gadgets at their disposal to move around the 2.5D world (the world and gameplay is 2D, but explosions can leave dents in the background) while trying to take out the other team. Like I mentioned above, the core of the gameplay hasn’t changed. However, some new elements have been added that will perk up the interest of even veteran players. The newest iteration, Worms Revolution keeps the formula the same. For 17 years, the Worms formula has remained relatively the same: at least two teams of worms arm themselves with grenades, bazookas and more as they try to blow up the other team and anything else around them.
