Worms Reloaded Demo

Worms Reloaded is one of the best games in the Worms franchise, and it represent a genre of games that doesn’t really exist anymore.

The previous game in this franchise, Worms Armageddon, was launched more than a decade ago, and Worms Reloaded was the sequel. It’s difficult to come with something better than Armageddon, which was one of the games that defined an entire generation. For that reason alone, Worms Reloaded is using the same recipe, for the most part.

Worms Reloaded is defined as a turn-based strategy, but when we say Worms anyone knows what we’re talking about. It’s one of the first games that taught users the power of games being played on the same computer, and there aren’t many that can do that. Sure, we had split screen games long before worms, but playing something in which you have to wait your turn was unimaginable.

Even if we now have much newer versions of Worms out in the wild, the Reloaded edition is still one of the most played and beloved versions. The fact that developers chose not to mess with the original recipe was a winning point. It’s one of the rare instances when the lack of innovation is considered a plus.

The players get two teams of worms in a map that’s randomly generated (or not, depending on the options), and they try to kill each other by using a huge arsenal of weapons. It’s more difficult than you may think, but at the same time, it’s also very frustrating.

The game also features a powerful AI, which is usually able to aim with great accuracy. In fact, playing against the computer is much more difficult than playing against human, which tend to make mistakes much more often

The environments are destructible, and more often than not, it’s much easier to drown the worms than killing them outright. The end of any match usually hangs just by a thread.

The demo has only a few available levels and weapons, but it’s still a really fun experience.
