Prepare for retaliatory action!

UPDATE: Ever feel the urge to smash some familiar faces in? Who doesn't! The All Star Pack DLC is now available for FREE and it lets you kill, maim, and humiliate special guest stars from Orcs Must Die, Payday 2, The Escapists, Saints Row, Broforce, and other beloved franchises, using appropriately-themed weaponry. Put on your special masks and go mess them up!

<span class="bold">Worms W.M.D.</span>, an exciting return to the roots, is available now for Windows and Mac, with GOG Galaxy support for achievements and multiplayer, DRM-free on GOG.com.

If there's one thing to note about Worms W.M.D. outright, is that at its very core are the very same beloved physics behind Worms: Armageddon. Recreated from the subtle intricacies of movement and shooting, the oddities, all the way through the delicate matter of the ninja rope.

Team 17 is bringing back the most adored weapons that have shown up throughout the series like the Concrete Donkey and Holy Hand Grenade. But there's a lot of new stuff here too — a weapon crafting system breathes new life into the classic arsenal (and gives you something to do between turns), tanks and helicopters introduce a new layer of mobility and destruction, and accessible building interiors provide tactical cover from the fires of wormy hell.

The worms have gotten a makeover too, but the hand-painted 2D battlefields remain, as always, your greatest friend and enemy in single-player and ranked multiplayer mayhem.

Employ your most slimy instincts and ridiculous arsenal for <span class="bold">Worms W.M.D.</span>, a new take on a classic formula, DRM-free on GOG.com.

Antoni_Fox: I really don't understand why people are so surprised, since no GOG game ever get cross play with the Steam version.
avatar
Matruchus: Not true at all.

Here is one of the gog mixes that list gog games that have one or the other version of crossplay included: https://www.gog.com/mix/crossplay_on_gog

8-bit Armies and 8-bit Hordes (missing from that Crossplay gog mix) go even so far that they have a link setup in Steam workshop so we can download community maps from there.
Hey thanks! I've updated the gogmix with your info,
If you have anymore would like your feedback regarding those games (and others) in the topic :)

Projectsonic: ... They probably would've done the same with multiplayer to World Party if it didn't already have crossplay baked in.
Care to elaborate as well? :)

Team17 hasn't been very kind to DRM-free since Steam came along. They heavily favor Steamworks and don't really like to put effort into doing anything else multiplayer-wise, which isn't very good news when you don't want to use Steam for only Worms. I've already mentioned Reloaded's screwup.

World Party's re-release runs off of the same servers as the original, so that saves it. Armageddon's always been the same game so that saves that. Because of these servers they had crossplay from the start and never lost it. If they had to change it for whatever reason, you can bet that the best case scenario would be that it would be the same deal as WMD.

gamesfreak64: 30 euros ? no way ........ imho you cannot add any pricetag to any game, every game is different so different price tags should be applied.

You cant price a game like this at 30 euros while some AAA games are only 40 euros and of a very high standard.
I paid good money back then for real titles (retail): Commandos, Behind Enemy Lines + Beyond Call of Duty
Age of empires, red alert 1+2 , tiberian sun, and more great games.
I just cant spend that much on a worms game.

As for : "exciting return to the roots ..."

yes a little and yes a very big no aswell....

The characters look more like cartoon again but thats about it, we had no (irritating) zooming in and out in the good old classic games. today all remakes must have zooming in and out i guess, while almost everyone has a HD screen zo zooming is not needed.

Anyway, i think team17 is not the Team17 we used to know in the past, in the AMIGA and first PC era that is, things were much better, games were cheaper and most of all games were less buggy.

Zoidberg: My main point was concerning how you're asked a difference price depending on your "face", that is quite annoying.

That said about pricing of games, it's debatable. But this one looks like worms 2 with slightly adjusted graphics, vehicles and maybe a couple other silly things.

Add to that the items DLCs, the broken Linux version, the different pricing scheme, the cutting up of the community (no cross play), the inferior version because they've decided to use the monopolistic tools exclusively... and you get a nice mess.

And sorry to say, but asking any kind of serious money for a mess... is the epitome of sillyness.
Well, if a game has crappy sounds, graphics , then the playability must make up for all that and more , which is near to impossible, and i am used to buy good games, like the AAA titles i mentioned in my reply.
I've been playing and buying games for 40 years now, so the downside is i am used to quality, thats why i am very critical on older companies who imho developed better games 25 years ago , then they deliver today.
I've seen hundreds , maybe thousndand of games, played at least 1000 games (maybe even more) in these 40 years
so its hard for me to 'accept' that today the games, not all, but a lot of them don't live up to what i am used to buy and play.

It's all fine and dandy but let's keep in mind that game development has changed a lot in those 40 years... sometimes for the worse, and sometimes for the better...

Some good news:

"Cross-Play Beta – We’re still on track with this to be functional by the end of the month, subject to nothing going wrong of course."

I don't know, I feel kinda cheated, angered. But somehow I don't find that surprising. At all actually.

(Hopefully we'll get the proper map creator... One day...)

It's been said countless times before but I'll say it again: Don't preorder! ;)

It shouldn't have been a "pre-order exclusive" to begin with, so as far as I'm concerned they're merely correcting their own questionable marketing choices.

Artificially limited digital content, or platform exclusive games only hurt the customers, so any occasion where publishers make previously limited content available to all gamers is a reason to rejoice.

That too.

Fairfox: Probs, but they did, 'n' generated ill-will to those that didn't want to/couldn't pre-order. Nao they've done teh same for those that did. Dumbos.

Deffo glad I got mah refund back in teh day. Mebbe I'll pick this up dirt-cheap at some later stageee.
The pre-order exclusive bullshit was one of the reasons why I still haven't picked this game up. Now that we all have the chance to purchase the full game, without any missing content, I might actually change my mind.

As for those who actually did pre-order the game -- It's not like GOG or Team 17 is taking anything away from them. The fact that others now get a chance to enjoy the same content doesn't lessen their game experience in any way. Besides, it should be clear by now that those who wait eventually end up with a better deal, than those who pre-order or buy everything Day 1. No surprises here.
