Worms Forts: Under Siege

First of all, I want to thank GOG for the giveaway. I'm a huge Worms fan and I never had the opportunity to play this one before. A lot of features from it's predecesor (Worms 3D) are still here, but the meat of the gameplay now depends on building your fort and destroy the enemy one. It's a twist that maybe is not appealing to a lot of Worms fans but I find it fun and refreshing, remebrer that this is a spin-off and not a regular Worms game. Some things are not perfect though, you can't adjust the camera speed and the only destructible elements from the maps are the towers and buildings (It would be nice if you could destroy a tower by making holes around it to make it lose it's structure from below for example). It's the game worth it? I think so, it's change of pace may appeal to a lot of people (fans of the series or not). It is as good as the legendary Armageddon? No, but that's just my personal oinion. Will you see a lot of explosions? Oh yes, a LOT.

I remember playing this game on ps2, the disk became a bit damaged and the game had many bug because of that. Now it's back on PC with GOG and with the bonus of being able to easily download a save file to unlock everything without spending dozens of hour in the campaign. Review : The game is a bit clunky especially with a mouse and keyboard. Try to see if you can get a controller to work, it'll probably be a 1000 time better. It's a ton of fun tho a bit unorthodox so maybe explain how to game works if you want to play with your friends (Either by LAN/VPN, or by hotseat/parsec or equivalent.) Overall, great game, maybe not for everyone. Be advised tho you need friends to play with !

Here comes a quick yet detailed review about pros and cons: Pros: - Fairly cheap and affordable for someone who really enjoyed it. (But I doubt that ever happened to you.) - Useful tutorial which give you basic idea of the game. - Mostly only fun to play with friends and via LAN sessions. (As of you have no other options.) Cons: - Bazooka and Grenade dealing little to no damage compare to everything else you can ONLY use in a building. - Too slow paced to be enjoyable of fair measures as of every event and turn takes like forever. - Mouse controls can be really underwhelming and is making the game unfun when it comes to aim and see where your worms are. - Campaign designed to be almost unbeatable and enemy AI of course usually want to take out your Weapon Factory first so you don't stand a chance against it anyway. - Mainsource of multiplayer using GameSpy which is dead forcing you to use a VPN to play multiplayer at all. - AI sometimes doing really cringy moves ruining the turns for itself and sometimes for you as well. - Collecting stars to build your powerful buildings to access new weapons with them ONLY is an authorized killjoy and it can be done via just destroy the first unstable lowest level tower which holds the entire chain of buildings for you kinda forces you to use better buildings to fortify yourself better and prevent yourself losing important buildings. - Why do you even bother destroy the enemy buildings if you can kill the worms with those weapons and that makes you win easier? Overall: There's just too many problems with this game and mostly all worms games ended up being better than this one. One of my classmates gave me a disc which had this game on it. Was kinda okay for a worms game back then. The idea was really great having buildings to use in battle, but seeing how undeveloped the game itself really ruins most things about it. It cannot be more than 2/5 stars total or just a 3 of a scale of 1 to 10.

This should be called "Worms:Camera Fighting". Really, I couldn't finish tutorial.

Maybe if the camera worked there's a good game underneath here somewhere? I seriously doubt it, but I'll never know because I can't even get through the tutorial. The slightest movement of the mouse keeps causing the camera to spin out of control. Nothing I do with the mouse corresponds in the slightest to any reasonable reaction on the screen. Mouselook is just completely broken.
