Gameplay
Worms Battlegrounds is an artillery turn-based tactics/strategy game. Gameplay follows on the earlier games of the series, in which teams of worms take turns to use a variety of weapons and items in order to eliminate the opposing teams. It continues to use the mechanic that was introduced in Worms Revolution, whereby players could select their worms from four different classes: Soldier, Scout, Scientist and Heavy, which all had different play styles unique to each class.
The game includes a total of sixty-five weapons and utilities. Among the ten new weapons is a teleport gun, which was created in response to criticism that the ninja rope wasn't authentic compared with older games. In an interview with Digital Spy producer Davd Wood explained: "We had to completely throw out the physics system for Revolution, Clan Wars and Battlegrounds, because we wanted to bring in dynamic water, we wanted to bring in physics objects,"
Reception
Worms Battlegrounds received mixed reviews. It has a Metacritic score of 62/100 and 70/100 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions respectively.
