About Worms W.M.D

When Wild Ones first appeared in 2009, Adweek described it as, for all intents and purposes, Worms 2. Worms W.M.D is the series at its most polished: hand-drawn destructible maps, turn-based team battles and a ridiculous arsenal that includes the Banana Bomb, Holy Hand Grenade and Concrete Donkey.

It adds vehicles, buildings you can enter and weapon crafting, with local and online multiplayer. It is a paid game on PC and Mac, and the mobile version, Worms W.M.D: Mobilize, is on phones.
