Description
Team17 sequel, extending multiplayer and adding online features. Created by Team17 and Titus Software, released in 2001 in Europe and the United States with Da and Sv versions under the Worms World Party title. Destructible-terrain 2D turn-based strategy, over fifty expanded weapons, over fifty scenario missions, four-player local versus mode and online multiplayer features and cartoon soundtrack. Western edition with Nordic versions under the Worms World Party title.
An extension of the worm artillery series that polishes the formula and enriches the options without upending it, one of the last entries of the line on the console. Still common, its interest lies in the continuity of a multiplayer classic rather than scarcity. An affordable piece for anyone wanting to complete the Worms series or rediscover its multiplayer best.
Better with friends
A festive culmination of the worm war, overflowing with wacky weapons, modes and maps to scrap over up to four in hilarious chaos. The competition blends calculation, bluff and twists of fate, where the perfect shot delights and the absurd ricochet sets off hilarity. Rounds can stretch out, but the humor and the over-the-top destruction always bring everyone back for a rematch.
Is Worms World Party still worth playing in 2026?
Released in 2001 on PS1, Team17's project extends the two dimensional Worms formula with parameter versatility never seen before and an online mode on PC that drew long discussion. On PS1, the hot seat multiplayer remains the central argument, and the plethoric arsenal keeps all its humour. The 2D modelling ages with its charm. Recommended today for families, for off beat turn based strategy devotees and for PS1 collectors curious about the label's last great Worms on Sony's first home console hardware before the next generation transition globally.
