    W.M.D. is a pretty solid Worms game for some multiplayer fun. Art is nice and controls are good. Also.. 2D is better. :)

    “Worms W.M.D” is a fun game to play with friends, and for me the appeal is purely in the multiplayer aspect. There is a campaign as well, but I've never touched it. Instead, what keeps me engaged is the thrill of lining up the perfect shot, releasing the power bar at just the right moment, miscalculating spectacularly, and watching your missile arc gracefully into your own worms. They have an almost supernatural tendency to be in the wrong spot. (7/10)

    Running on MacOS Tahoe, the game simply opens to a blank screen. Digging into the issues, it appears that Team 17 is aware of the issue and isn't interested in issuing a fix (https://steamcommunity.com/app/327030/discussions/2/686363730790074305/?ctp=4). Community fixes exist (https://steamcommunity.com/app/327030/discussions/0/695375086723568128/) but don't appear to help in my case. Game is utterly broken - don't waste your money!

    A nice addition to the worms franchise, if it wasn't for the fact that: -Server Browser List keeps scrolling back to the top, so you have to depend on 'quick play' which randomly finds a lobby for you -Map drawing doesn't appear to be a thing like in Worms: Armageddon -Generic looking UI -Mouse speed is abysmal when it comes to trying to trying to use for example an airstrike -Camera mouse speed and tracking is also not great either, you have to use the numpad to move the camera across the map…

    Classic worms with a bit nice option to build weappons. Really fun. Game is mostly designed for keyboard input, and in the main menu selecting some options using mouse is impossible.

    The controls are way too complicated, it's basically unplayable. "Use right shift, double tap return, aim with A and D, move mouse, scroll mouse wheel, click here and there, ...," A list of tutorials for a simple turn based platform game? Come on. Worms on the Amiga was straight on, it didn't require training sessions and memorizing a keyboard layout.

    Does not work on macOS 26 Tahoe. The game is still listed as macOS compatible on Steam, but on an Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 26 it launches to a black screen and is effectively unplayable. This is not an isolated issue - there have been multiple reports from M1, M2, M3 and M4 users, and Team17 has been aware of the problem for months. The usual troubleshooting steps (windowed mode, changing resolution, VSync, verifying files, Rosetta, etc.) do not solve it. There is a community-made…

    I usually don't post bad reviews about games. And I love worms, BUT they sell this game for macos and at the moment it is UNPLAYABLE! I have tried everything and on older macs (2017 iMac) it's impossible to play it. You move your mouse and it takes like 2 seconds to update. Even when you turn it down to 800x600. Fix your game guys!

    In short: if you love "Worms Armageddon" this wont disappoint you. If you want the classic gameplay of the classical Armageddon slightly enhanced but same physics and game play, this is it, the best and closest so far to the classic, but with a twist. the game has new mechanics and features in campaign mode that are fun and wont deduct from the experience at all, BUT in other match types you get to play the same classical game experience VS friends online or a local party "Hot seat" using the…

    Not good. The multiplayer browser is broken where it lists multiple unjoinable games and if you try to scroll down to find an available game it glitches you back to the top of the list. There are also graphical glitches on the main menu. Not even worth £1. Refunded.

    Worms W.M.D. Performance Improvements on Steam Deck The game works fine but there seems to be a bug in which the game only runs around 40 FPS. Fortunately, there is a way to fix this problem. Just copy and paste this command on the Launch Option of the game: MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.6 MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink %command% With this command, the game will now run on its maximum FPS on Steam Deck.

    best played with friends, worms wmd is a hilarious strategy game where sometimes a pixel is the difference between greatness and all your friends laughing at your blunder. Worth noting that there is no cross play between console versions and the pc version, so if your friends are on console you ought to join them there or have them join you on pc. It can run on a potato so it shouldn't take too much convincing

    Worms Armageddon is one of my all-time favorite games. Unfortunately, Team17 struggled over the years to create a worthy sequel... until Worms W.M.D. came along! A new beautiful art style (although I'm not a big fan of the worms' design itself), smooth gameplay, and just the right amount of innovation (vehicles and crafting!) without losing what makes the franchise fun. Whenever you want to escape Armageddon’s compatibility hassles, remember: W.M.D. exists, and it’s pretty great!

    Best worms game. Cool campaign, lots of side puzzle missions, fun weapons, fun crafting, fun collabs, great destruction mechanics, funny cutscenes, solid AI, lots of worm costumes. Nothing really negative to say here, you get exactly what is advertised but with more content than you'd expect. I played mostly on console and bought the game on PC too.

    Worms W.M.D is a great alternative to Worms World Party or Worms Armageddon. It features updated graphics and introduces vehicles, adding a fresh twist to the classic gameplay. It's highly recommended for hot-seat multiplayer and for those times when you want to switch things up while staying true to the Worms formula. Runs at a clean 120 FPS on 4K all Maxed Out I truly recommend this!

    Does not in fact support mac as listed on the page. Got it for my friend thinking we're about to play and whole time he's looking at a blank screen. As some other reviews have stated (and from my own friend's mouth) the team is aware of the issue and is simply not fixing it. Do not recommend in general because of that, and if anything steam should at least force them to remove Mac from the system requirements if it doesn't actually work.

    This Worms game managed to shake up the formula while still being true to it and I'm surprised it's kind of forgotten (It feels that way at least!). Adds features I'm surprised it took so long to try if the game is kind of pricey and as usual the campaign isn't as good as deathmatches! Pros: -Probably the most visually impressive Worms game ever (If you prefer 2d) with detailed, hand drawn terrain and cartoony, mischievous worms (Sharp teeth now) if more dour -Substantial, if haphazard,…

    A nice sequel to the Worms games we used to play back in the early 2000s, respectful of the gameplay and personalization options that gave the series its appeal and fame. (The devs should, however, work on a few small issues, such as updating the Chinese and Russian anthems and perhaps adding the Pal3stinian one, given that the I$raeli one is sadly included...)

While the good old Armaggedon is still kicking strong and remains pretty darn playable, WMD has some new fun mechanics to keep the gameplay fresh. The vehicles and mounted weapons create opportunities for multikills and map change via destruction, buildings allow for cover and also spice up the visual side of the map, and crafting is... kind of here?

    There's still a lot of fun to be had from Worms gameplay! Both good strategy and hilarity as you do something stupid. Well, I do. It's fairly often on sale, too, so cheap to get. Also, playing in 2025 the online games with a steam friend also was very easy to set up, and once going I was getting some flashbacks to crowding round one machine 30 odd years ago with the original worms. My friends used to defeat me a lot then, too!

    I have put so many hours into this game with my best friend. I turned off all the annoying vehicles and turned down the turrets which made it a lot more fun for me. It's one of those games where you'll want to be tweaking the game settings until you get it just right for you, and then it's a lot of fun to play again and again. Wish they would make a new one though, with bigger maps, new weapons and more updated quotes and skins. I would buy that so fast.
