Worms is a name which has now been around in the gaming world for eighteen years. From the release of Worms in 1995 to last year’s addition to the franchise in the form of Worms: Revolution, the series has remained extremely popular and still boasts fans both young and old who have held on tight for the ride. This year we have been graciously rewarded for this long-enduring support with another new title being released for us to enjoy; Worms Clan Wars.
This week, you can get Steamworld Dig for only $5, or pick up Worms Clan Wars for $6. Flatout is $2, Flatout 2 can be yours for $2.50, while Flatout 3 is $7.50, and Flatout: Ultimate Carnage is $5.
In an interview with Strategy Informer veteran UK developers Team 17 revealed that they will be taking a year-long break from their signature Worms franchise, after a mixed response to last entry Worms Clan Wars.
When asked at indie event Rezzed how Clan Wars had performed, Business Development head Nick Clarkson said, "Sadly not as well as we'd hoped. As a game it's probably the most complete version of Worms out there, at least on PC. Certainly post-launch the support for it was very good, there was bugs here and there and the team kept on top of it."
They are admittedly a bit weird. It's hard to get used to, but I enjoyed them although I think the controls need refining for future series entries.
It would also be interesting to see them try other turn based strategy games. Perhaps something more serious?
I think they named it hoping it would piggyback off the crazy success of Clash of Clans.
Worms celebrates its 18th birthday this month and to celebrate Team17 is holding a free-to-play Multiplayer Weekend on Worms Clan Wars and offering a discount off its entire Worms Steam catalogue.
I say this in every Worms article, and it's always met with echoes, but BRING IT TO NEXT GEN!!
Armageddon and Revolutions are two of my most played games. Great for playing local MP with buddies.
I don't think anyone else on N4G shares my enthusiasm, lol.
