Worms Rumble

"Legendary Worms are back - this time with realtime combat! It is acceptable new challenge, but there are not enough maps and game modes."

"Worms Rumble is a hectic, and chaotic real-time run-and-gun style game featuring the characters you love from the franchise. If you are looking for a game that feels like it&s;s strategic ancestors with a lot of humour, this is not …"

"‎Giving a drastic twist to the franchise, Worms Rumble offers us a concept that may not please the most staunch players who have been there since the beginning of it, but that gives ‎‎a breath of fresh air to the …"

"Worms Rumble is a fun time for anyone familiar with fast paced action shooters. It’s a shallow experience but it’s aiming to be fun, not to tell a story and it does a pretty good job with it. Although not …"

"The Worms series has been around since 1995, so I’d be surprised if any gaming fan hadn’t heard of those angry anthropomorphic fellows! To sum it up, the series largely revolves around turn-based artillery tactics. Often having to be the …"

"This review is on the short side because there isn&s;t a whole lot to Worms Rumble as is. You queue up for your mode of choice (which will probably be battle royale solo queue more often than not), you try …"

"Worms Rumble is fun at times, but with server issues and some weapons being overpowered, there are problems that need addressing or else people will fall off it too quickly."

"The "mutation" of the Worms essence to battle royale dynamics works surprisingly well. Rumble is a fast, attractive and, more importantly, fun experience. It needs to grow in content, though."

"Worms Rumble proves that worms don&s;t need to take turns to sentence one another to a sheepy death. Not only that, but Worms Rumble succeeds in giving us an accessibly fun shooter with a decent amount of nuance for the …"

"Once some sort of turn-based strategy game, Worms Rumble embraces the current trend of action, movement and last-man standing of a battle-royale with the same kind of progression and loop mechanics."

"I am enjoying my time with Worms Rumble, but with Deathmatch being the only mode I find enjoyable to play, just three maps, only ten weapons and a slow levelling and unlock system, it feels slightly undercooked at launch."

"Although purists may balk at Worms Rumble, I found Team17&s;s reinvention to be a welcome change in direction for the series. Real-time action wrapped around the battle royale genre works a treat here when combined with the zany, explosive world …"

"Net of a not exactly impressive content offer, Worms Rumble is a very enjoyable iteration of the series and has not forgotten that strategic component that has always characterized the crazy battles between annelids."

"Worms Rumble takes the long-running turn-based series into the world of real-time online action for the first time."

"Worms Rumble is a solid adjustment to the series, being familiar while also tipping the scales towards a battle royale in a fine way."

"Worms Rumble is fairly limited out of the gate given the small number of maps that tend to repeat with irritating frequency. However, the gameplay itself is an entertaining twist on a classic formula and still features the signature Worms …"

"Having been a follower and fan of the Worms series since it&s;s humble beginnings I&s;ve come to expect every title to have the franchise&s;s well-known humor and strategy..."

"It just isn’t as fun as any of its turn-based counterparts. In a sea of multiplayer shooters with way more content out there, some of them not requiring an upfront payment in order to access them, this game just doesn’t …"

"Worms Rumble is credited with bringing a new perspective to this beloved franchise. However, the gains from the inclusion of multiplayer modes with real-time action neutralize the charms of Worms: we don&s;t have the humor, brutal destruction and tension of …"

"Worms Rumble can be an enjoyable ride, and it is certainly a bold, fresh take on the franchise. However, it is ultimately a step in the wrong direction. Worms Rumble fails to capture the essence of previous games, and adopting …"

"Worms Rumble is an interesting try to renew Worms with a bit of hybridation from battle royales, but it lacks depths and, if the game will not be appropriately supported in the future, it may leave a bitter taste both …"

"Worms Rumble is a reasonably fun game in its own right; the battles feel fast, the weapons pack a decent punch, and the addition of zip wires make traversal a blast. The problem is that in transitioning to a multiplayer-focused …"

"Worms Rumble is a fun twist on the tried-and-true Worms format. While it can be purchased standalone for $14.99, considering the online nature of its matches, most players will be better off subscribing to PlayStation Plus and adding it to …"

"There&s;s not much to say about Worms: Rumble. It is a kind of beautiful canapé that will outrage avid fans and will definitely please others. You will laugh with your friends and here and there you will swear at places …"

"Worms Rumble is an extremely imaginative and fun riff on multiplayer shooters, and manages to transition the classic franchise to an entirely new genre and format extremely well."

"A distinct lack of game modes, no means of playing offline, and even the inability to make a private game with friends overshadows all of Rumble&s;s innovations. Faster paced gameplay centred around a single worm is a breath of fresh …"

"Credit where credit is due to Team17 for trying something different. While not necessarily a roaring success nor an abject failure, Worms Rumble guarantees enjoyment in the short-term, but its long-term prospects don&s;t seem as promising. After a few hours, …"

"In a word, Worms Rumble is great. It’s fun and as hilarious as ever, whether it be from an over-the-top-kill or the witty banter from the Worms themselves. I worry that the steep learning curve may turn some players off, …"

"Completing matches earns you XP, and as you level up your character and each weapon, you&s;ll unlock more cosmetics. It&s;s a very simple structure, but the game is fun and frantic enough to keep you hooked. With just 10 weapons …"

"Worms Rumble works, it does what it intends to do, and it&s;s a spin off that keeps the weapons theme going. However, It has more problems than I&s;m comfortable with on Switch. But anyway, I think it will die quickly, …"

"It is kind of a tough sell to hardcore Worms fans, but it ultimately works quite well. Worms Rumble is a more fast-paced variety of Battle Royale, with a Deathmatch mode thrown in for those who want a more conventional …"

"I wouldn’t dive into Worms Rumble looking for the original nuts and bolts if you’re an older player. I can easily picture that scenario since there are already a plethora of Worms titles and remasters on Steam. But if you …"

"Worms Rumble may not be the same Worms fans have come to know and love, but it is still a wacky action-packed game that everyone can enjoy."
