Description
Reference Team17 sequel, expanding the arsenal and moving to a 32-bit engine with European multilingual support. Created by Team17 and MicroProse, released in 1999 in the United States and Europe with Da, Sv and German versions under the Worms Armageddon title. Expanded destructible-terrain 2D turn-based strategy, over fifty expanded weapons including Concrete Donkey and Super Sheep, over thirty scenario missions, four-player versus mode and cartoon soundtrack.

An entry often held as the peak of the worm artillery series, pushing the absurd arsenal and play options to a rarely matched level. Still common, its interest lies in this reputation as a turn-based multiplayer reference rather than scarcity. An affordable prime piece for anyone wanting the best of the Worms line on the console.
Better with friends
A fresh salvo of the worm war, fuller in wacky weapons, modes and maps to scrap over together, up to four. The competition stays a delicious mix of ballistic calculation and twists of fate that flip the game on a burst of laughter. The wait between turns can grate, but the creativity of the destruction and the humor unfailingly bring everyone back around the screen.
Is Worms Armageddon still worth playing in 2026?
