Plot

[edit]

Similar to earlier Worms games, the single player campaign features twenty-five missions across five environments: Prehistoric, Viking, Inca, Feudal Japan and the Industrial Revolution. The campaign story focuses on a character named Tara Pinkle (voiced by Katherine Parkinson), who serves as the game's narrator, as well as providing missions for the team. In addition to campaign mode, the game also features ten Worm Ops missions that feature time attack modes.

Gameplay

Gameplay follows on the earlier games of the series, in which teams of worms take turns to use a variety of weapons and items in order to eliminate the opposing teams. The game, like Worms Revolution, has four different classes each improved with new special abilities. This is also the first Worms game to add Steam Workshop support.

Worms Clan Wars has improved online gameplay. The game allows players to create clans and chat on WormNET, the game's own lobby and chat system.
