Worms World Party Remastered
Developer Team17 Digital Ltd
Worms World Party is a 2001 artillery turn-based tactics video game developed by Team17, and is the sequel to Worms Armageddon in the Worms series. As with the previous games in the series, players take turns controlling their teams and using available projectiles, firearms, explosives, and equipment to destroy all opposing teams and manoeuvre across a specified and highly destructible map.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Borderline Unplayable I don't like posting negative reviews, but this game is not playable. There are some major graphical errors which make it impossible to see anything. Don't even try.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The best worms game ruined by ZERO optimisation. Doesn't work correctly on 1440p displays. Abysmal.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is a 10 but the optimization and remasterization is a joke...the game is playable but you need to disable the V-Sync, disable on the game file the fullscreen optimization, don't use fire (lag spikes the game) and don't use alt+tab. I'll change the review when the game can be played with those problems solved
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Basically a piece of garbage. I have never gotten this game work without some issue that made it unplayable. The original game is much more compatible with modern systems than this which is supposed to be a remaster...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not buy this game, it's just broken and will not work properly in any modern operating system. Even if you go all the steps of the support from team17 page, game won't work properly. Depening on your hardware it won't even start, i needed to force it to integrated graphics for it just to start, and even then it barely works. Remastered my ass, feels like an ms-dos game that you can't manage it to work, don't do this to yourself even if it's a beloved game like it is for me. Oh and the game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a quick cashgrab that coasts off one of the classic Worms titles, with its most glaring problem being that it's not even fully functional. The bare minimum for a remaster should be to be compatible and fully playable with modern systems, and WWP Remastered fails on that front: in order to properly play the game you'll have to make some adjustments first and to make the multiplayer work you'll even need to change your router configurations. You can go to the Guide section to see how to fix…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worms World Party is my favourite entry in the series, among the very first PC games I ever played in fact. So it pains me greatly to punch it with a negative score like this. Not only is the game missing content (speech banks, flags (some of which are available in other entries), and the Christmas mission), but worst of all: The game released, and has remained in, a very sorry state. Floating white boxes and rectangles that plague most screens, lag, specially when you trigger big explosions…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I absolutely do not recommend on SteamDeck, a black screen appears, you can only hear music, I tried to use various Protons, but they did not help.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No Longer Works on Windows 11, i just get a black square on the top left of my monitor then it crashes... better off playing the PS1 ver on PS5/PS4 instead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A remaster which needs tinkering just to properly show on screen, and doesn't work out of the box. I would rather call this a cash grab instead. Another classic ruined.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is legendary and old, too bad they wont fix the white screens everyones complaining about
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Your worst enemy in Worms World Party is pressing Alt + Tab. What this does is break the menu - clicking anywhere doesn't work after using that command. The rest of the game is pretty much Worms Armageddon but with a few fun factor enhancements in deathmatch, crate match types being one of them. In case you're using Windows 10 as I was, you might encounter a weird game-breaking bug right from the start: a huge white box in the left corner that doesn't disappear, neither in the menu nor during…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →just NO.Too buggy,too many white screens and black screens.Can't be solved withing any resolution!!!Literally my entire playtime on this game is trying to fix it and make it work.Spend your $$ on anything else pls <33
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Many reviews claim the game won't run. I have found only two issues: 1. White box in some game modes, which can be fixed by disabling screen optimization for the game exe (see Guides section if needed). 2. Black Options screen - haven't found a fix for this one, but I don't need it that much. Rest of the game works fine.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An insult to call it remastered, doesn't even let me open the settings menu without a black screen. Lazy, shameless cash grab and an insult to fans of the franchise.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unplayable. White boxes blocking most of the screen. So many bugs.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Back in the old days of gaming, you didn't have to look far for some seriously fun strategic gameplay and there wasn't much better out there than the series that is known simply as Worms. Revered for its creative premise by controlling a team of cartoon-like worms as you aim to destroy the enemy team by means of various weaponry and tools at your disposal alongside various missions that tested your knowledge of the game and how competent of a strategist you are on the go, it is no small wonder…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Most of the menus doesn't work, they glitch out or even crash the whole game. And creating games with friends is really difficult because your personal internet connection has to match certain exact settings for it to work. Which is a shame because the gameplay is classic worms.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →they should fix the crashes and the black and white boxes covering the screen. also. small suggestion, if you fix it: make it remote play together. it'll help a lot of people enjoy it once they get bored of single player and/or random matchmaking, too
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worms World Party Remastered is broken on modern systems. To call it a remaster is a joke. Even if it is on sale dont pick it up. It will collect cobwebs in your libary.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worms World Party was released back in 2001 and was the next game after the very popular Worms Armageddon, so expectations were high. It uses the same engine, so it’s very similar in terms of visuals and gameplay. It added some new features, with a bigger focus on online multiplayer, but overall, it feels slightly off. The single-player campaign has more missions. It’s a bit easier but less interesting, with more emphasis on platforming. And the weird ranking system is still here, so gold…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worms 30th Anniversary Humble Bundle! Just $12 for 12 games, 10 of which are good (don't bother installing Worms Rumble or Worms World Party Remastered). A bargain!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →white boxes appear on screen, unplayable
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Only noticable difference from the original game is the unfixable lag, even after doing the fixes in the forums. really sucks, what a great game to make unplayable.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game, but my minimum expectation was that it could... run... on a modern PC... cause its remastered and all.. but it can't... Can barely force close it :|
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not sure if this one or Armageddon was my fave, but this version is definitely NOT remastered. An insane amount of artifacts, issues, bugs, glitches... you have to disable fullscreen optimisations (right click w2.exe, properties, compatibility tab) just to get rid of white boxes.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Broken on launch, need immediate fixes and hacks to run even one legged. Worms Armaggedon runs fine, not need to tinker with this corpse. Refunded
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I remember this game from my teenage years as a super fun and awesome way of playing with friends. So when I found it here on Steam I was stoked. Unfortunately however it is incredibly buggy and unplayable. Game will not let me play in any other mode rather than single player. Even then I would get a black screen or partially blanked out screen. Gutted it didn't work out as I was hoping to play this for a long time. Thanks to Steam for fast support and refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game won't work until you manually set compatibility settings, and after that game graphics will stutter. Not recommended.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unplayable on Linux
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →maybe you should make the game playable
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Had to deal with white boxes by myself (turn off fullscreen optimisations), then lagging (had to make an exception in windows security app), which is manageable... but yeah, while my campaign approach is trial and error, the fact that i get help in the form of additional boxes that can't even be turned off is an insult for a player.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →On three seperate computers this game always overlays text boxes and other graphic gremlins which make the game unplayable. Sadface. Please fix.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As others have said, this doesn't work on any modern PC due to comaptibility issues. It is not REMASTERED at all, it's the same game that was released decades ago and now computers and operating systems it was made for are obsolete and the code wasn't updated. Don't bother, it is a scam.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unplayable bc bugs.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You should be ashamed of yourselves for releasing this broken mess. ♥♥♥♥ Team17...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Until this game gets fixed (which it probably wont), just buy Armageddon as it has less bugs and a more active multiplayer.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thank you Team17 for bringing back memories of the Windows XP white screen era
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its really really buggy and crashes
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you get a lot of lag when there are fire effects (embers), do this to reduce the lag: Right-click on the game in steam Manage... Browse local files Go to "Data" folder Go to "Wav" folder Go to "Effects" folder Delete or cut and paste elsewhere the "SIZZLE" sound file Go to "Remastered" folder Delete or cut and paste elsewhere the "SIZZLE" sound file Note that this will remove the sound when the embers are burning. This reduced the "fire lag" by 50% for me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Does not work on Windows 10. Menus do not display. Very disappointed that there's no patch from this large developer.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would like to refund. It always screen freeze when I enter to the mission.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I should have listend to the Reviews. "It cannot be that bad" ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ it is
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got it refunded as it had white window pop ups blocking the screen and game play. be great if you got this sorted! Great game from childhood, would love to play again.....
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →way too much troubleshooting work to make it run on modern systems despite being released as a remastered product... and even after you do their job to fix and run it without stutters, the difficulty on each level for the training and campaign missions varies so much between one and the next, those are either too dumb and easy or extremely autistic when it comes to performing perfectionist movements and shots (not to mention the missing content they removed out of fear for potential copyright…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game barely works on modern operating systems. I doubt they’ll patch it. It sucks because the game itself is solid.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Compatibility issues ruin the UI on windows 11
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Doesnt work on a modern machine
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As most people say, basically unplayable. There's literally 10 people playing right now on SteamDB. Team17 can you PLEASE for the love of god either fix it properly or even better: Release a free browser version for a 25 year old game so friends can hop in and play! Doesn't even need to have matchmaking, anticheat and whatever, just a lobby for a couple of friends. That's not asking too much! Or allow the community to do so by releasing the code. It's not like you're even making any money from…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worms World Pary was, at the time of it's release, the best in the series. That is why I belive it is inexcusable how it turned out to be. Cons: -Some minor bugs (like white boxes and stuff) that YOU will have to learn how to fix. -Terrible performance, how can a 2000's game run like trash, making a 2017 PC implode (GTX 1050)? I had to circurvent this downloading a beta version without this problems. -Censorhip. You like funny accents and edgy weapons names? Welp, they are mostly gone.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very unstable, only brought this to help my friend get the achievement. And nothing else.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Used to play this a lot with a few of my friends but we haven't been able to connect for years now, the servers seem completely broken. Get Armageddon instead
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →THIS GAME MESSED UP MY PC!!!! I can't even turn my PC off properly, my apps aren't working properly anymore, it was a waste of time and money. Spent 25 minutes trying to play it and it wouldn't work. My suggestion is don't buy it!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →buy Armageddon instead
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →nostalgic masterrpiece!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →white boxes you have to fix yourself, but also a bunch of black screening for no reason. Armageddon ran a lot better, not sure what went wrong with this one
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So after installing the previous game, I installed a patch and it allowed that game to run at full 1080p resolution without any stuttering or anything. This game has great sounds but that's the only positive. When you run the game, it stutters quite badly. When anything like explosions happen, then the stuttering is worse and clearly visible. I have a Windows 11 laptop that has an i5 processor with an RTX 3050 graphics card, so it plays lots of 3D games without any issues, so I am unsure…
