The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A gleefully chaotic party game where careful tactical planning gives way to explosive slapstick as cartoon worms lob absurd weapons at each other across destructible terrain.

About

Worms World Party is an artillery game, which is a type of Turn-based strategy game. Like its predecessors, Worms World Party involves controlling a team of worms and using a collection of weaponry to eliminate the opposing team(s). The worms can walk and jump around and use tools such as the ninja rope and parachute to move to otherwise unreachable locations. The worms have an arsenal of dozens of weapons, ranging from longbows to bazookas and from fireballs to Holy Hand Grenades.

What players say

A definitive but iterative entry in the comedic turn-based artillery series, loved for chaotic local-multiplayer mayhem and silly weaponry while some longtime fans find it too similar to prior games. It feels light, funny and best enjoyed with friends.
