Worms W.M.D

D aims to replicate the gameplay of Worms Armageddon, with graphics and game design returned to a 2D interface. Gameplay elements from previous installments, such as classes, water physics and dynamic objects, are all removed. A new feature includes the ability for players to craft weapons by gathering parts, whether from special crates or by dismantling weapons; players can craft their weapons even outside of their turns. New weapons and utilities are added, such as a dodgy phone battery and a bazooka that creates fiery explosions; classic weapons such as the Holy Hand Grenade return as well.

Returning from Worms Forts: Under Siege are buildings that the worms can enter to a tactical advantage. Worms can utilize these buildings as a cover from enemy fire or to launch a surprise attack on enemy worms.

Worms W.M.D received "generally positive" reviews, according to video game review aggregator website Metacritic. GameSpot rated the game 8 out of 10 and said "The relatively simple gameplay is overflowing with finesse and strategy, the presentation is fantastic, and offline or on, Worms is just incredibly fun." IGN praised the new crafting system but took issue with the buildings element, saying it was hard to discern which buildings could be entered and where their entrance points were.

Game Rant praised the new additions to the gameplay and called it "the game Worms fans have been waiting for since Worms Armageddon." DarkZero gave the Nintendo Switch version of the game 8 out of 10 praising its good selection of offline missions and rewarding training.
