Worms Reloaded Gets Steam Powered

Team 17 has been busy lately. On the heels of their recent release of the Steam title, Alien Syndrome, Team 17 returns to its roots to bring us Worms Reloaded. Worms Reloaded will be released on the Steam platform, and from the looks of the video below, we are getting a revved up version of the 2D classic.

Worms Reloaded will feature a number of new weapons, tactics and features, along with some classics like the Holy Hand Grenade and rope swinging. Old school players will be happy to see that the hilarious and addictive game play is still intact; new players, on the other hand, will be introduced to one of the most entertaining tactical games ever to grace the PC. Online and Multiplayer support is sure to make this a great game for friends and the list of features looks like it encompasses every single feature from every single Worms game on every single platform!

Here are a few features to look out for:

EXTENSIVE SINGLE-PLAYER CONTENT:

  • Campaign mode. Play through 35 single-player missions as well as 30 more in the Warzone Campaign that is tuned for advanced players.
  • Bodycount mode! How will you survive with having just one worm pitched against never ending spawning enemy worms that get increasingly tougher? Compete against friends in the scored leaderboard.
  • Training Mode. Comprehensive tactics tutorage that includes 3 tutorials and 3 different firing ranges.

MASSIVELY INCREASED CUSTOMISATION:

  • Wild customization and personalization - change appearance of worm skin, choose victory dances, gravestones, voices, HUD, title and over 70 different cute, funny and downright stupid hats!
